      This place is a joke

      Pros

      There are not really very many pros that I can think of. The 4.00 lunches are ok, but it's still way cheaper to bring your lunch.

      Cons

      They act like working for them is a privilege and an honor. They demand for most Jobs that you have a degree but these aren't degree caliber positions. The job that I applied for they put me through the ringer for a measly 15.00 am hour. 711 pays more than that. This place is a joke. As much as a BA or BS costs these days, to be offered cat food for compensation would be a insult! 40,000.00 please!

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We understand that working at Paycom isn't for everyone, but those who do put in the effort, reap the rewards. Our compensation structure is highly competitive and is in-line or better than averages posted by the Department of Labor. We recognize your concerns and will pass these onto members of our senior leadership team. Best of luck to you in the future.

      Wow. Sold beachfront property in Utah.

      Pros

      Some nice coworkers. Thorough interview process.

      Cons

      Hours are supposedly 8-5 but everyone works roughly 60-80 a week exempt not by choice. Micromanagement is an understatement. Will pay $25 a month cell phone when you are in the field 85% of the week. Unrealistic expectations. Horrible management with no managerial training just a great promotion from selling. Everyone is overworked and too tired. ZERO work/life balance unless you consider working with your coworkers your personal life.

      At Paycom, we look for individuals with a growth mindset, meaning they are constantly looking for growth opportunities, both personally and professionally. When times get hard, our employees with growth mindsets persevere and attack each day with a mentality that their attitudes and efforts determine everything. Growing can be a challenge, but those who challenge themselves reap the rewards in the long run. Training our leadership group is very important to us. We host routine trainings for everyone in a leadership position and we do this to ensure each team leader or manager has the knowledge and tools to create a positive and cohesive atmosphere. We wish you the best of luck.

      Unbelievably toxic culture

      Sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Money could be good….if you can deal with psychotic micro-managing from their corporate office…but something like 90% of sales reps either quit or get fired during their first year

      Cons

      The single most toxic workplace I’ve ever experienced. Get ready to work 70+ hours a week in a territory that’s been heavily prospected, with corporate leaders staring down your neck every second of every day, looking for a reason to fire you. Every single rep I ever met is terrified that they’ll be next to get fired. Motivation is fear-based, and that’s by design. Has the feel of a scammy multi-level marketing company on the inside. Corporate HQ cares more about how much you’re drinking their kool aid than your actual financial performance, and star reps are constantly being fired on minimal notice. President’s Club means nothing in terms of job security, and they’ll start interviewing your replacement the second that they think you had one bad week. The whole “our sales reps are so rich” image that they push so hard is fools gold. Clawbacks are common, stock gifts don’t vest for years and years (they know you won’t be around long enough for them to vest), and they won’t hesitate to pull reps off of deals and fire people on the spot. When I first opened my desk drawers, I found business cards from 4 prior reps who didn’t last longer than 8 months
