Pros
The salary is higher than the industry average and the technology is good.
Cons
Where to begin? Let’s start with the micromanagement. Your manager will perform a pipeline review every day. Once again, you will have a pipeline review with your manager every single day. Keep in mind, if you have a family obligation your manager will call you for your pipeline and ask you to update your Salesforce. They do not care about you. Everyone fears the CRO. Not really sure why. But, managers will use his name like he’s the boogeyman if they feel your performance isn’t up to snuff. Here’s the scariest thing about The CRO, he’s never sold payroll or hr before. He doesn’t know the industry! The turnover in sales. It’s absolutely unbelievable! However, not one manager has been terminated. Keep that in mind new recruits, not one manager has been terminated, only the reps. You should really ask why. If you work at Paycor, you will have to go to charity events in which you will be taken out of the field for a day and perform manual labor. Sometimes, you will have to travel for hours to go to the charity event. The management team will tell you that attendance is mandatory. However, and this is for your benefit, it’s not. In fact, there is nothing in the employee handbook that says you have to go. It’s completely voluntary. But don’t go, and they’ll make your life miserable. Your 401k match vests after 3 years of employment at Paycor. Problem is, the average tenure of a Paycor salesperson is 1 1/2 years. If you don’t make it to the 3 year mark they will take the money they matched in your 401k back. HR is a huge joke here. I actually saved the email from them asking everyone to write a 5 star review on Glassdoor. Basically, asking everyone to write a phony review to up their overall score! I guarantee there will be two 5 star reviews after my negative one. They even are so desperate that they are giving ice cream to the staff to try and coax positive reviews. It’s both hilarious and pathetic. Implementation. Nothing but issues. They have roughly 80% turnover and can barely get a deal started. Your manager won’t help you get a deal started either. You are on your own. This means you won’t get paid. But, you’ll need to fulfill their insane requirements of 4 new appointments a week. That’s not 4 appointments that include demos and discovery calls, that’s on top of all the next stages in the process. Activity. They want you to have 4 new appointments a week. 4! Here’s the trick if you are crazy enough to work at Paycor.....lie. We all do. I had, maybe 1 to 2 appointments a week and would log 4. The goals are very out of touch with reality.
