Built for Success: Why Paycom’s Sales Culture Stands Above the Rest

Bonny Calfy | July 14, 2025

When you’re on the job hunt and trying to evaluate prospective employers, how can you be sure an organization is going to be a good fit? You can go with your gut or ask people in your network, but the most reliable way to see what you’re getting into is to ask the people who already work there.

That’s why Paycom’s recent recognitions by some high-profile names say so much about the organization we call home. Just this year Paycom earned a number of nods from Comparably, including being named to the lists for Best Company for Women, Diversity, Career Growth and Leadership. But one that really stands out for us is being named to Comparably’s Best Sales Teams list of 2025 for the fourth consecutive year.

What makes this so special is that Comparably’s awards are based on anonymous feedback from current employees. When you see a Comparably award, you can be sure that it reflects the way a workforce really feels about their workplace.

We also earned a spot on Selling Power‘s 60 Best Companies to Sell For 2025 list. “Paycom earned its place among the 60 Best Companies to Sell For in 2025 by cultivating a sales culture that’s both fiercely competitive and deeply collaborative,” said Gerhard Gschwandtner, founder and CEO of Selling Power.

Growth opportunities and sales training that can’t be matched

Selling the best tech in our industry requires the best sales force, and our training programs are a clear indication that we’ve got the best around. As our Sales Reps help bring Paycom’s tech to new clients, they’re also honing their skills and growing dynamic careers.

Take Rudy, for example. He started as a Sales Representative but worked his way up to Executive Sales Rep and is now a Manager of Sales for our New England territory. He’s experienced Paycom’s commitment to employee growth firsthand, and now he gets to see it at work with the newer members of his team.

“My favorite part about my job by far is watching Sales Reps win,” Rudy said. “One of my team members was recently promoted to Executive Sales Representative in one year and five days, and a second representative on my team will be promoted in about a month. I can’t wait to watch them become leaders in other offices.”

We believe in strong starts at Paycom, and for many driven professionals, this start begins before their first day as a full-time Paycom employee. In our Junior Executive Sales internships, students are mentored by Sales executives as they get real, hands-on experience that lays the groundwork for a career in sales.

This cycle of investing in the future of our workforce is one that we’re proud to continue. Each year, seasoned members of our Sales teams travel to colleges as Campus Ambassadors to advocate for Paycom and encourage students to consider us as they look to launch careers of their own.

Whether it’s training our newest colleagues or providing ongoing training for the seasoned members of our team, Paycom is committed to the success of every member of our Sales team.

“This comes as no surprise to me, getting to work with the absolute best Sales team every day,” said Amy Walker, Paycom’s chief sales officer. “One of our core values is ‘We win,’ and that means winning both big and small every day in the office and at home.”

The benefits of a sales career at Paycom

The growth opportunities, the transformative tech, the first-rate culture — there’s a lot to be excited about when you work at Paycom. Savannah, an Executive Sales Rep in our North Carolina, office, loves the perks, but she’s also excited about how Paycom is helping her set up a financially stable future.

“The uncapped commission plan is wonderful. But the future planning that they give us here is amazing, including the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and generous 401(k) matching,” Savannah said.

When you’re part of our team, you can look forward to:

  • $100K annual starting salary with uncapped commission
  • Industry-best sales tools and technology
  • In-person sales training that’s equivalent to an MBA
  • Unparalleled support from executive leadership and your Sales team

A sales career at Paycom is all about unlocking what’s possible in your career while helping businesses tap into their own potential. That’s why we were named to Comparably’s Best Sales Teams list. Are you ready to see what you can do for your career while you help Paycom move into the future?
