Pros

They will hire people with less experience than some similar companies require (if you appear intelligent, hard working, and eager to learn). Working at Paycom is a great way to gain experience with complex client interaction, project management, and problem solving

Cons

The work is quite challenging - being successful requires toughness, grit, and drive (this isn’t necessarily negative, but the work required can be too much for certain people)

Pros

-Great comp. Haven’t seen anything like it -Good benefits -Was in a great office with great colleagues (this matters a lot at Paycom for whether you’ll be successful or not).

Cons

This is not a one for everyone. Very heavy on metrics even if quality is poor. Lots of micro management. Always looking over your shoulder. Hugh turnover. Don’t give much time before letting someone go, which is tough for a sales role. Long hours each week. If you have a family I’d say this role would not be ideal. Lots of changes happening and seems reps and managers leaving for other opportunities elsewhere. Lots of money to be made but need to weigh the cost.
