There’s a reason more than half of reviews are negative. - HR Account Executive Paychex Employee Review

Pros

Good benefits. Option for full remote. Nice co workers.

Cons

Leadership lies to you in your interview about the OTE of the job. Expect to make slightly more than your base salary. Successful reps are getting tee’d up deals and doing a completely different job than everyone else. If you’re really lucky you’ll be one of those reps. If not, you will be looking for another job as soon as possible. Don’t take my word for it. Just see the slew of negative experiences about this company and the business outlook from other sales reps and other departments. More than half of people rate it poorly for a reason. I have seen entire teams turnover, including leadership.

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.
