AVOID THE OUTSIDE SALES POSITIONS - Sales Representative Paycom Employee Review

ADVICE TO JOB SEEKERS-- find someone on LinkedIn that is a former Paycom sales rep and ask them to give you candid information on how it was and why they left. I wish I would have done this before I took the job. Paycom actually asks new sales reps to write Glassdoor reviews AT TRAINING-- notice how majority of the good ones say "less than a year". Just keep that in mind... Where to start. First of all, the management style is INCREDIBLY immature and EXTREMELY passive aggressive. Your manager can be smiling at you one moment and then turning around, rolling their eyes, and talking about you with your coworkers the next moment. Just because someone is a good sales rep does not mean they are going to be good at managing a sales team. When you're new, there is definitely a "sink or swim" mentality which is expected but this is literally a "throw you in the pool and hold you under water until you either can't take it anymore and leave or you miraculously learn how to breathe under water" type of situation. You are offered little to no support. When I was going on my first few appointments in which my manager said they'd attend with me, they told me 15 minutes before we were supposed to leave that they were going with another VERY tenured rep on their appointment instead. They chase revenue and will abandon you. You get FIVE days of vacation and are looked down on if you take it. I would honestly compare Paycom to a cult. I was actually worried about leaving the office for fifteen minutes to pick up my lunch or go to the bathroom-- EVERYTHING IS MONITORED. If you're looking for a company that respects you and legitimately cares about your development, look elsewhere. You are not valued until you start bringing in SERIOUS revenue. A work/life balance is a myth at Paycom. LAST PIECE OF ADVICE-- actually ask them about what the turnover rate is for sales reps. Out of the training classes of about 20 people that they turn out every month, WELL OVER HALF are gone within the first year.
