      Pros

      The benefits are fairly good

      Cons

      1) Below Average Pay, 2) Poor Work Life Balance (Operations overworked with too many clients and Sales with unattainable sales goals in saturated territories, 3) Politicized/Cronyism at the 4th floor that impacts the rank and file, 4) Hypocrisy at the highest level with a multi-million corporate culture shaping initiative serving as a band aid to low pay, over work, and unattainable sales goals as an income cap. By the way, when they say uncapped earnings, please understand that they may not cap it on paper, but when your bonus and commission is tied to astronomical sales quotas you are realistically capped. Nice try Paychex Finance!

      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.
