Pros

Earning potential (commissions take months (3-6 mos) to pay out after a deal is closed , strong training program, leading product in market, $1 healthcare

Cons

In before 7am every day, rarely leave before 7pm, expected to work additional time on weekends for administrative tasks, high pressure (job security threatened repeatedly), fake interactions with colleagues, everyone is secretly dying behind the scenes and talking behind people's/manager's back, managers are all ex-sales reps and don't know how to manage a team effectively, high turnover, very limited career path, extreme micro-management of activities (sending snail mail "gifts" & handwritten letters, cold calls, dropping unannounced into buildings), highly pushy sales methodology. Local businesses hear the name "Paycom" and shut you down immediately due to previous reps burning the relationship to the ground. People crying in office weekly

Pros

The work we do is challenging but is satisfying. $4 dollar lunches are great and I enjoy the people and managers I work with. We have gone through changes, but the changes are worth it and the tools we are provided keep us successful. The salary is great and top level, highly recommend working here if you love a challenge. I promise you’ll never be bored.

Cons

The workload and hours can be heavy at times, but the long-term gratification is worth it. Paycom is about long-term investment, and it requires patience and perseverance but it’s worth it, if you are strong enough.

Pros

Excellent benefits. The $1 health insurance and $0 medical bills when partnering with ZERO are hard to beat. $4 lunches daily The company does a good job recognizing and celebrating high performers. Personally, I’ve always felt appreciated for the work I do. Good workplace culture with frequent employee appreciation initiatives.

Cons

The workload has increased significantly over the past few years, but compensation hasn’t kept pace for everyone. Pay increases don’t always seem consistent across employees, even when workloads are similar. While top performers receive recognition, some employees may feel overlooked or underappreciated. The pace can become overwhelming during busy periods due to the growing workload and the department continuing to downsize.
