Pros

The company has excellent job security and a strong training program for sales representatives in addition to many different divisions filled with various opportunities. The product lines are excellent and the customer service is beginning to show signs of significant improvement after a couple of years of difficulty.

Cons

At one time not too long ago, Paychex placed a significant value on the role of sales leadership. Unfortunately, in recent years, there has been a significant drop in that perception to the point where very few sales representatives have any interest in pursuing a career in leadership. Worse yet, most of us already in that role have absolutely no interest in the director position above us. The only expectation of us at this time is to sell as much as we can in this month...there is little to any conversation about what opportunities exist in the future. Our unrealistic pursuit of sales growth has devoured some really good people and very strong sales leaders in this company, and many more aren't far behind.

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.
