Pros

Good pay structure (base and potential commission you more than likely will never see)

Cons

Love all the new positive reviews from people just graduating sales academy (3 weeks in) and don’t know what they really signed up for. Insane turnover (around 75% within a year) micromanaging is insane, 55-60+ hr weeks, travel is so much, sales cycle is brutally long, you’re basically a BDR, AE, solutions engineer, and half of a AM all in one. Industry is super saturated and Paycom is most expensive on the market and people don’t have spare money laying around for Payroll software. Churn and burn style org while management and VPs just vacation together and flex $$$ before they fire you

Good Pay, Mixed Leadership

Account manager (paycom specialist)

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great compensation for the role.

Cons

Leadership is a hot mess, Employee retention is terrible and it will affect most client's sentiment with you and the company. Teamleaders are usually those who were sly about their metrics or lucky about their clients. There are some good leaders, but their obsession with finding outliers to promote has created a mass of middle management that is either shady, ignorant, or outright dishonest.
