      Roller coaster, good starter sales job, no opportunity to develop in to high end sales

      Pros

      Paychex created an unreal environment to grow as an entry level sales rep. Through the 90's and early 2000's it seemed like the greatest company to work for.

      Cons

      As soon as the founder stepped down as the CEO, he began to struggle with leaving his company that he built. He refused to allow the current leadership to change with the times. Simple things like going paperless, or accepting technology driven systems were all so foreign and he inhibited progression from happening. Many great top level executives came and went because they didn't agree with his part time leadership.

      This place is a "Boys Club"

      Pros

      Healthcare package is ok, ot great. EAP Program is helpful. No major layoffs Small match, but still a match on 401k.

      Cons

      Total Boys club. Top sales rep is oly at the top b/c of being fed deals and working with the best partners. Management does not care at all about people outside of work, all they care about are sales numbers. So many conference calls it is beyond crazy and a total waste of time. No long term training from the corp office. The Corp HR is only in place to protect the boys club not the employee. Turn over would make other companies laugh. Managers are literally the worst I have seen in 20 yrs of sales. To sum it up it is a " what have you done for me lately" job and this it!
