Pros

You get to meet some really great people who are hard workers, adept at their role, and desire to be successful.

Cons

You are told through training you are becoming part of the Paychex family where people bleed Paychex blue. That is true, for about 3% of the people I encountered and most work in a constant state of fear and strife. Departments are vetted against each other where management is somewhat aware, but when confronted were more concerned with staring at a spreadsheet trying to find a decimal. When I worked there, I was the most tenured on my team after a little over a year, and that was not because everyone was promoted.

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.
