Pros

Paychex is exceptionally dedicated to training and offers great benefits. They flew me out to Rochester and put me up in a suite for 3 weeks for training when I first started. Then they sent me back three months later for a week of follow-up training. As an added benefit, it really built camaraderie and a sense of belonging. That is so important in building teamwork and making people want to go the extra mile as opposed to screw the company the first chance they get.

Cons

It's payroll and benefits. Boring. I guess I prefer having products that are more interesting or innovative. For those that do not perform well, you will probably leave before you are let go because you can't make a good living without hitting your sales goals. Also, they often promote the best sales people into sales management without recognizing that the skills that make someone a good salesperson are often not translated into being a good manager.

Pros

People and the overall environment is a positive one. If you do your part, definite long term career potential. It’s not easy- but stable, growing. Worth serious consideration for early career looking for sales experience with a great training program. Also good for mid-career consideration if base salary isn’t the primary reason you are in sales.

Cons

Very fast pace that doesn’t suit everyone. If you are looking for easy or just a job to “hang out”, this probably isn’t the right spot for you.

Pros

Remote work and Flexible Time Off

Cons

Low pay. Minimal to no career growth. Constant leadership turnover. Conflicting priorities from the top with little strategic direction. Endless “do more with less” mentality and burnout. Mandatory culture and positivity “training” instead of fixing the problems creating poor culture. The company has become reactive, chaotic, and disconnected from the employees who keep it running. Current CEO drove down stock price and eradicated worker morale. Terrible leadership.
