Pros

The best reasons to work at Paychex are the opportunity for advancement and the job stability. Paychex has never had lay offs, and unless you are an idiot, you cannot get fired. It's a great company that does very well, you know they won't be closing their doors anytime soon. People sometimes take Paychex for granted, and then things like this happen to the economy to make you appreciate your current employer. I have been there 10 years now, I went from making $24K to $100K+. I know many people that started as a receptionist or a temp and is now a branch manager or zone manager. Great place to start out of college.

Cons

Some of the downsides are the way promotions are handled. It's all politics, as I'm sure every office is. They need to pay their operations people more though.

Pros

Excellent training, income potential, and potential for advancement. The culture at Paychex is very healthy and if you have the drive, you can succeed. The product line is very strong and works as advirtised. Potential for high income on both sales and management side if production is there.

Cons

Too much turnover on sales rep position can make the Sales Manager job difficult. Finding "right person" for the job not as easy as it seems. Sales Manager job varies greatly based on individual sales reps--- get a group group and teach them correctly and it's the best job in the world... the wrong group or good people with bad training and its no fun at all...
