Pros

Great company to establish a sales foundation.

Cons

Management is out of touch with reality in regards to expectations and business environments. They need to hire more managers from within the company who understand the true role. Work life balance is not what it used to be. Very high pressure and stress for little pay as they continually change their comp plan which promotes HIGH turnover... ZERO reward for loyalty to the company. Unrealistic quotas and bonus structure for seniority.

Pros

Paychex is a great company to work for. I’ve held multiple roles over 20+ years. There are always ups and downs, but for every position, manager, decision I disagree with, there are ten others that are outstanding.

Cons

It’s a large company with many opportunities to grow, but smaller companies may offer higher compensation.

Pros

Literally just being able to work fully remote, but not much else

Cons

Pay is ridiculously low for the expected effort and tasks needed to handle client sales and after sales nurturement. About 1/3 of sales team ever hits the monthly quota. You get 13% commissions of deal size which typical deal size is anywhere from $700-$1500, 13% of that is less than $200 gross for huge amount of work load per deal for the client to just end up canceling and commissions gets clawed back.
