Pros

Low Requirements to start at $16/hr in Indy. Opportunity to move horizontally and into lower management. Available benefits.

Cons

Will be constant stress and pressure from the first moment out of training. This is followed by increasing personal client counts each week while people quit around you. Management changes almost monthly at some points with supervisors and managers leaving/changing positions. Expectations are always set higher than what one employee is capable of. No positive change has happened in the 2 years I have worked at the company.

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.
