      Sales Representative Interview

      15 Apr 2011

      Chicago, IL
      No offer

      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Paycom (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2011

      Interview

      The interview process began with a short phone interview with one of the company's recruiters. She asked me some very general questions (e.g. Why Paycom?, Why do you want to work in sales?, Why do you think you would be good at this position?) and to confirm the information stated on my resume. Following this initial interview, it was about a 2 days before she called me back and said that the regional manager wanted to set up an interview for Friday (it was Wednesday when she called). The 1:1 face interview was pretty straight forward and lasted about 15-20 minutes. The regional manager took me into an empty conference room of a very new office (which was also quite empty) and began asking me a series of questions. The questions were mostly what you would expect from this sort of interview - Why Paycom?, Why sales?, Why would you be good at this position?, Explain why you chose your college major?, How would your past experiences help you?, and so on. There was one odd question, though, that he asked me. I graduated early from college and he asked me when I decided to do that and why I had waited so long to start looking for a job. I had NO IDEA how to answer that or what kind of answer he was even fishing for. I graduated early for financial reasons not because I knew what I wanted to do in like - what 22 year old does? Apparently, even though I wasn't sure how the interview went, they liked me and called me back to do some phone canvassing, a.k.a. cold calling. I had never done this before and the recruiter for the company assured me that they wouldn't hold it against me if I didn't schedule any appointments with potential clients. WRONG! Paycom's hiring process is all about who can schedule the most appointments. The PC session took place on a Friday for me from 8am to 12pm. First of all, this was a problem because it was the morning and NO ONE wants to schedule appointments or even talk about payroll that early. Second of all, most of the people in charge of payroll or HR didn't work on Friday. After a long day of pretending to work for this company, we were sent home and told that they would contact us by the end of the day that Friday or by Monday at latest. I WAS NEVER CONTACTED. Monday came and went and there was no phone call. I tried calling and emailing the regional manager for a week but received no response. Finally, after two weeks of attempting to contact the regional manager and the recruiter, the recruiter finally called me and said that I wasn't chosen to go to the next phase of the interviewing process and that they WERE looking for someone who made more appointments. Aside from that, we were supposed to be compensated for the 4 hours we spent doing the PC. I NEVER was. I tried to contact the regional manager, the recruiter, the HQ of the company...no one ever responded to me.

      I interviewed at Paycom

      Interview

      They make you take a whole day off work to come in and make cold calls for them. These calls are unpaid labor. They attend the meetings you book and still won’t offer you the job.
