Vantaggi

Strong commission structure if you can last for 2 years or more. If you are fresh out of college with no sales experience you might be able to adapt to the culture. If you have worked under good sales leadership in the past, you will not like Paycom’s management style.

Svantaggi

Extreme Micromanagement -felt more like a BDR then Account Executive Holidays - Almost nonexistent. Expected to work Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. Territory - Saturated territories. Was given a handful of zip codes in a rural state. Worked more with mom & pop shops then strategic accounts. Almost every company I had worked with had been blown up by Paycom and most asked not to be contacted again. Commission structure - not friendly to new hires. You get 6% until you close half a million dollars which is tough in a rural territory that has been hit extensively Turnover - there were 8 outside sales reps in the few months I was in the company. 5 out of the 8 including me left the organization. Metrics - was expected to do 4 hour windows on webcam cold calling prospects so the rest of the team could hear each other’s calls. Very elementary. Felt like an entry level person rather than an experienced sales person who has always exceeded expectations. Daily structure - 7:45AM team or regional daily calls and 5:15PM daily calls to end your day. Again your more so being babysat rather than treated as a sales professional.

Svantaggi

- 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.
