Don’t get sucked in

Pros

Great benefits, $4 catered lunches and cool gifts every quarter. The people are also really cool and a big part of the reason I stayed as long as I did.

Cons

They try to make up for how crappy and stressful this job is. So if your the kind of person who is okay with hating their job because you get cool things every once in awhile, the. This is the place for you. But if you actually want to enjoy your job and not dread coming to work then don’t do it.

Pros

Paycom has seen tremendous, continuous success. Regardless what is happening in the economy or the labor market, there will always be employers that need technology to manage their workforce and get their people paid. Paycom has a great product in a recession-proof industry so it has been on an incredible upward growth track for years. For employees, it is exciting and provides a lot of opportunity.

Cons

Growing pains but they should be expected. Hiring, training, promoting is a constant challenge as is the ever-present construction at headquarters. But it's all happening for the betterment of the organization, its customers and employees.

Pros

Decent base salary. Co-workers.

Cons

You won't have a life. Period. They will expect you to eat, drink, and speak Paycom 24/7 (drink the Paycom koolaid). If you have friends, a family, hobbies, or general activities outside of work, this is NOT the job for you. This is an extremely corporate job where "Paycom standards" have to be met on a weekly basis or you'll get written up/fired. Micromanagement is so unbelievable you'll think you're in preschool again. If you're a seasoned professional with sales experience, your head will spin in disbelief and amazement. Don't be fooled by the awesome "culture" they promote. Expect to be working 70-80 hour work weeks with 5 days off TOTAL a year (I'm serious). There is no cushion for "off days" and you'll expect to be in constant contact with your Manager e.g. "send me a picture of where you are?" There is absolutely ZERO trust in your abilities and are constantly under the microscope. Local management is so fake and superficial it's unreal. Look elsewhere unless you're desperate...

Sales representative roles are fast-paced and require cooperation with management. We clearly outline expectations, the effort required and what it takes to be successful during the interviewing process. Our employees receive a combination of PTO, sick leave, personal days and company holidays within their first year – far surpassing the “5 days off total” you describe. Our goal is to work closely with new sales representatives so they are supported and receive continuous coaching. We want our employees to be successful in whatever role they serve at the company. Paycom seeks candidates from a variety of sources, including universities, and we believe the new graduates we hire have a tremendous opportunity to learn and grow in their career here. We appreciate your feedback and wish you success in your future endeavors.
