      Pros

      Good ol’ boys network. Total change in culture.

      Cons

      I always wonder what to write here that hasn’t already been said. There are haves and have nots at this company. CEO makes 88x what a rep makes, assuming they can still make $100k/year. That means he makes 7x your annual salary every month. 180% of your salary every week. In fact, it takes a full 3 days of work for him to make your annual salary.

      Pros

      Well known brand, so some people get inbound leads REALLY great colleagues

      Cons

      Pay is GROSSLY below average for the industry, and they don't pay more for tenured employees. Pay at Paychex is GROSSLY below the pay for equivalent roles at Paycor. Operations is completely disconnected from sales, so they make changes that can drastically impact your income with absolutely no thought for you or your family. They allow managers to hire for roles with one set of expectations (territory, comp structure, training schedule, ramp period), and then change those expectations after you start. You have a quota from BEFORE day one in some divisions. If you join a mid-month training class be sure to ask and get in writing when your quota will start!
