Pros

Good pay structure (base and potential commission you more than likely will never see)

Cons

Love all the new positive reviews from people just graduating sales academy (3 weeks in) and don’t know what they really signed up for. Insane turnover (around 75% within a year) micromanaging is insane, 55-60+ hr weeks, travel is so much, sales cycle is brutally long, you’re basically a BDR, AE, solutions engineer, and half of a AM all in one. Industry is super saturated and Paycom is most expensive on the market and people don’t have spare money laying around for Payroll software. Churn and burn style org while management and VPs just vacation together and flex $$$ before they fire you

Pros

- Base salary - PTO - Awesome colleagues - $1 Medical PPO offering

Cons

- Upper leadership seem to not value the operations department as much as they do with sales. They are not consistent as well, which causes them to change the entire department's job description, expectations, & commission structure every few months. Change is good but huge change every 3-4 months is so exhausting. - They overload you with too many clients to handle while increasing the number of internal calls. When asking for support from sales or middle management, its typically a hard negotiation or non-existent. Expect to work way over 40 hours/week and juggle 10-20+ clients at a time. - Sales will oversell on product & implementation expectation which makes the job 1000% harder. Turnover with sales is extremely high so don't expect for even the best reps stay as they either leave, get fired because quota was not met, or the new manager will cut them if they're "not the vibe". You get left with the newbies who does not know how to sell or support you when you need them. - Every role in this company has high turnover in general. Making it very hard to cross collaborate with other departments as everyone is either extremely swamped or new to the role and cannot support as well, - Being forced to go to Oklahoma for training every year, sometimes twice a year.
