Sales Executive at Paycom Payroll

No Offer – Interviewed in Dallas, TX (US) – Reviewed Mar 05, 2013

Payroll Specialist at Paycom Payroll

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Oklahoma City, OK (US) Jan 2013 – Reviewed Jan 23, 2013

Interview Details After applying online I had phone interview then I had to take a 30 question simulation test using excel and a typing test. I had an in person interview with a recruiter then another interview with a manager. After that I had an interview with the VP (don't remember of what department.) I also had a math/English assessment before my in person interview.

Before the phone interview they told me they wouldn't hire someone who had had a dui or bankruptcy. I didn't have either so I didn't think there would be a problem. I received an offer and they did a background/drug/credit check. A few days later they told me my credit wasn't good enough and they retracted the offer. Wish I knew that before I spent all that time going to interviews. Didn't think credit would matter since the position was basically a customer service position.

Interview Question – I did a role play about how I would deal with a customer. ..The questions were pretty typical. Why did you apply at Paycom? What are your strengths/ weaknesses? Tell us about yourself? Where do you see yourself in 5 years? How did you deal with an unhappy customer?   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – There wasn't negotiation all Payroll Specialist start at $13.65 but there are different levels that you can move up in.

Interview Details First, there was a phone screening interview with normal questions such as "how did you hear about us", "why do you want to work here." Etc... Then there was an in person interview in their office. Their office was not as I expected and looked as if it was poorly maintained.

Interview Question – Why do you want to be in sales.   Answer Question

Sales Representative at Paycom Payroll

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Tulsa, OK (US) – Reviewed Jan 09, 2013

Interview Details It was definitely a process!! There were a few steps and a final interview with the chief sales officer. I really enjoyed the chance to go out in the field with an experienced rep and see what it was all about. I think that is when I realized that this is where I want to be!

Outside Sales Representative at Paycom Payroll

No Offer – Interviewed in Dec 2012 – Reviewed Dec 18, 2012

Interview Details All in all, I felt the interview process was more than fair. Are there multiple steps? Yes. But sometimes things worth getting have to be worked for. I say this even though I unfortuantely did not receive an offer from this company. The employee that answered the door seemed happy to be there and so did the other people working. I was early and the manager came out right when she knew I was there; it was a conversational interview and it seemed like she was genuinely interested in what I was saying. I was passed on to a webcam interview as a second step but my process stopped after that. I still think this is a great opportunity for anyone looking to have a sales career - plenty of room to grow, high energy in the office etc.

Interview Question – What role do you usually step into when you join a team and can you give me an example?   Answer Question

Outside Sales at Paycom Payroll

No Offer – Interviewed in Charlotte, NC (US) Mar 2012 – Reviewed Dec 06, 2012

Interview Details Contacted by a recruiter by phone and after a 20 minute conversation was asked to schedule a 1:1 interview with regional sales manager. The interview was a standard behavioral interview. During the interview, the interviewer acknowledged that they had been searching for a candidate for the position for several months and no one had "fit the bill" that they were looking for. I received no response after the interview even after attempts to follow up for several weeks. A few months later, I was called by another recruiter interested in scheduling me for an interview for the same position.

Interview Question – Nothing outside of an ordinary behavioral interview.   Answer Question

Sales Representative at Paycom Payroll

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Tampa, FL (US) Oct 2012 – Reviewed Nov 08, 2012

Interview Details If you feel like the base salary is too good to be true… that’s because it is. I went to this interview, seemed like a shell of an office with not many people at all, just a big empty space. It was dull and depressing... You only need a 2.5gpa to get this job… if your desperate go for it.

Interview Details Spoke with paycom at a job fair. They were very nice and I scheduled an interview with them. They canceled my interview the day of. That was a pain because I had to drive 2 hours to get to their office. I did not reschedule another interview because reviews about this company were pretty bad

 Current Employee in Oklahoma City, OK (US)

Pros: The work atmosphere at Paycom is amazing. It feels like I am truly appreciated for the work I do, and I'm not just a number. I honestly love what I do because I have a variety of duties that are all different, so it's not the same thing everyday… Full Review `
