Pros

The Software and Service! Amazing Colleagues, and a handful of great leaders! Also, incredible benefits. Commission structure is the best in the industry.

Cons

There is not an issue with transparency, but one with feedback. As a top performer, I have major concerns about the changes taking place within the sales culture. There is no flexibility and new reps are not on-boarded properly with proper training. Very few managers know the internal processes here to even assist the new people, so when those new hires are drowning 6 months in, they blame the rep and they are put on a performance plan. Not too mention, the company is taking a quantity or quality approach to putting as many reps in a city as possible. You say you don’t want a culture like Paycom, I do believe that’s exactly what you are building. As the other review mentioned...use our Survey tool, you will see. Your reps are absolutely miserable and looking elsewhere.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
