When I was approached by the recruiter, while excelling at another company in sales, she made Paycom sound like a dream in terms of flexibility, bring dog into the office, huge payout in your first year, 95% retention rate of reps, immediately start seeing sales come in, etc... Virtually none of it was true. No dogs at work, 50% retention rate or less for new reps, won't see a sale possibly all year, etc.
Without literally any training you are expected to be on the phones in the first few weeks cold-calling CEOs without the ability to answer questions or fight objections, the actual training is entirely virtual and very awkward as you are constantly put on the spot- definitely not a "safe" learning environment. It is absolutely expected that you work 10-12 hour days, without lunch breaks from the very beginning. My training literally started at 11AM and went for four hours. The "homework" and calls required are obscene as you are trying to learn a new product. The actual training was clunky and confusing, as it was all virtual and felt like the trainer was trying to sell us on her lavish lifestyle the entire time by dropping hints about the money she makes and providing very little hard skills for the job.
My interactions with my actual manager were unsympathetic and cold - they are obviously 100% money driven and not concerned with the human.
Its also worth noting that the benefits are not great. I was confused as to why employees brag about it because maternity leave, days off, medical, absolutley all offerings are the worst I've had and my interactions with HR were terrible.
