Pros
Paychex has a great position in the market with enough flexibility in our technology to have the upper hand in negotiations about 90 % of the time. Well rounded corporate training and ongoing training online. New products to sell and a constantly evolving platform in which upper management is not afraid of taking a risk on implementing. You have a lot of freedom to succeed and create new referral channels if you're committed and creative enough. Compensation definitely rewards those who can find a way to succeed highly. Circle achievement starts at about 120k a year which is very attainable. If you're disciplined, you can definitely manage a great work life balance.
Cons
Some recent bad hires recently in both management and sales staff. It's a sales organization and small business sales department has an inclination to hire new college grads that have very little experience in both sales and life. These are mostly the reps that will complain about everything and are first to blame others. The harsh reality is that if you're not succeeding here it hardly ever has to do with your "coworkers". I have seen many times more often then not that those employees kicking and screaming on the way out go on to have just as bad experience or another sub par performance at their next jobs. So I guess my main gripe would be the lack of quality hires recently. It's really easy getting trapped in negativity when a few reps are determined to justify their poor experiences by exaggerating their seemingly unfortunate circumstances.
