Pros

Fast Paced and High Pay

Cons

Paycom cares a lot about Paycom. As a company they are incredibly focused on driving their market cap and they do not really care about the impact it may have on their clients or employee's to get there. Other competitors in this space will evaluate their prospects to make sure they can handle their needs 'before' selling them. Paycom will do anything they can to just close the deal. Then once its closed they try to figure out how to make it all work out. Since the reps are involved in the sales process and the implementation they get stuck in the middle and it can be incredibly high pressure and very stressful. I have been with Paycom for over a year now and I am actively looking for an exit because I believe this office is really struggling to keep its top reps as well as maintain a positive brand in the Atlanta market. The software is good and there are some really great people to work with at Paycom but the overall culture at Paycom is high stress and pressure. I have several awards at Paycom but still will have my job threatened if I go over a few months without a deal closing. Its incredibly disheartening having to always worry if I will get fired when a deal pushes out a few months. Luckily I'll be gone soon and on to better things but other candidates looking to work here just need to be careful before jumping in.

Pros

Get to meet new people every day, the environment and culture is amazing, and I am always welcomed wherever I go!

Cons

Stressful getting the hang of things. Took a couple months. Very worth sticking around because there is great potential to move up.

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.
