Pros

Paychex is an excellent company to have the chance to work for. They spend a lot of time and put much thought into training the employees and giving more than enough resources to be successful if you want to be. Great benefits, always evaluating and restructuring to fit the times. Many avenues to go down for career paths so that you can really spend your whole career here if you want to.

Cons

Sometimes the management are not field relevant and it makes coaching opportunities not as effective. The advice given by non-field relevant leaders doesn't further the reps development. Sometimes these promotions to management are more political than skill based and certain people can wait years to get promoted while others get promoted rapidly for unclear reasons. Also the sales conference trip is set up in a terrible way where spouses are not included. This is somewhat a breeding ground for bad behavior and tension on marriages where the sales rep works so hard all year to achieve such a great thing and then they go alone on the trip to a beautiful place.

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

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.
