      I really enjoy working here.

      Pros

      We have lots of fun. Dress up days, homemade boat races, pot lucks, etc. The employees there are a really nice bunch of people to work for. They really are. Denver has beautiful weather. It is a great place to work. The team really works hard together to reach our goals. They offer the sales reps a chance to go to Conference, Circle and Ice each year. The location is located in Hawaii and the Bahamas. They are off to the Bahamas this year.

      Cons

      It's far away from everything, near the airport. No chance for overtime. No where to go up, unless I want to be in sales. I think the support team should be aloud to go to Conference as well. The DSM goes if the team is over quota but the FSS does not.

      Great Training and Benefits but Boring Products

      Pros

      Paychex is exceptionally dedicated to training and offers great benefits. They flew me out to Rochester and put me up in a suite for 3 weeks for training when I first started. Then they sent me back three months later for a week of follow-up training. As an added benefit, it really built camaraderie and a sense of belonging. That is so important in building teamwork and making people want to go the extra mile as opposed to screw the company the first chance they get.

      Cons

      It's payroll and benefits. Boring. I guess I prefer having products that are more interesting or innovative. For those that do not perform well, you will probably leave before you are let go because you can't make a good living without hitting your sales goals. Also, they often promote the best sales people into sales management without recognizing that the skills that make someone a good salesperson are often not translated into being a good manager.

      Paychex: The Good, The Bad, and the Not so Ugly

      Pros

      Paychex was a very fun environment to work in, and very team orientated. They have employee appreciation days, and send you out to New York for training with people from around the country. You'll make great friends you'll keep even after you leave Paychex. You get quarterly bonus' (PIP) based off of your branches performance and your salary. You can, with hard work earn a $2.00 raise in the first year as you go through your course work. The harder you work in your first year, the more you'll make.

      Cons

      They have set start times and dress codes. You'll get written up if you deviate from these. There is also very little chance for advancement unless you are willing to move out of the state, as there is only one branch office in Minnesota (two counting the satellite sales office in Maple Grove). The raises are also pretty meager after the first year.
