Pros

Pay structure is pretty solid. Good incentives to permanently raise your base if you last

Cons

I'm not telling you not to accept an offer if it is presented to you, especially if you're in a pinch, but I'm telling you DO NOT burn any bridges with other companies that may want to hire you. Paycom misrepresents their training. It's not training, it's a job trial. And they will not tell you if you're not performing up to par. I've been a top performer in a few sales organizations and was told i was doing well in training, then on my 10th day, I was told I didn't know the system well enough and let go....2 weeks after my hire date. Since then i've confirmed with several reps still employed there that this kind of thing happens all the time. There is no job security here. Most management is inexperienced. I even set 10 appointments in my 2 weeks there and they still let me go. If you have a choice between sales skills and product knowledge, you pick the one that can't be taught. So, if they're the first to offer you a position, take it, but don't go into it thinking long term because they aren't thinking that about you. Stall until something else opens up then jump ship. Don't make the same mistake I did. I wish any readers of this nothing but the best in whatever they choose to do.

Pros

Coworkers are great to work with! Free insurance. You get stocks.

Cons

No innovation in the company. We’re developing the software in PHP in 2024. Also, there’s insane micromanagement and you need to log time for every minute if the 8 hours you work. You’re ‘given’ deadlines, you don’t estimate it.

Pros

Good medical benefits, weekends off, and Flex Time if it is still a thing.

Cons

You are overworked. Give you too much work to have personal time. Always taking away things to reward good employees. They give you raises based on levels but the amount of work you do you shouldn’t have to do more with already good performance to get a raise. It’s a way the company can stop giving raises and cut cost for their employees.
