The company culture at Paycom is an instant red flag. At first I believed this was just a New York City problem, but this is a country wide issue. The real root is leadership. The company only promotes from within- the managers and regionals that are put in place have a HORRIBLE track record. They are usually compromised of the "top sales rep of the year"- these individuals are not meant for management. They are meant to run their show independently and mind their business. However, they are given a platform to lead and have horrible training and managerial experience. This then trickles down to the reps and the ridiculous expectations set from above. The metrics are impossible to meet, there is barely any training given as a new hire and on top of everything- NO SUPPORT. You are literally told to "sink or swim". They lure you in with a high base salary and tell you can make MILLIONS- which is a flat out lie. The sales process takes months if not over a year and most times we lose to our giant and more AFFORDABLE competitors. Just not worth selling. This places straight up sucks. No work life balance. Our days would start at 8am and would not end until at least 7pm or sometimes even 8 or 9pm. I can honestly keep going. Just please when you see this- don't believe it's just one disgruntled ex-employee. This is a very common experience for people who leave the organization.
