Pros

Average benefits, rah rah culture when you start, fades extremely quickly. Lots of tenure with senior management, sales is a turnover machine

Cons

Horrific management, terrible treatment of existing clients, no communication between silos, cult like behavior with senior management. No real income potential, I was completely lied to about year one OTE. Base salary is poverty level and that’s all you will make unless you come from within the industry. Micromanagement is the worst I’ve ever seen. Consistently asked to use scare tactics on existing clients to try and frighten them into an ancillary service they don’t need. Their sales force turns over every 6 months, they don’t value people at all. DON’T get duped and leave a legit career for this company!!!

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

Literally just being able to work fully remote, but not much else

Cons

Pay is ridiculously low for the expected effort and tasks needed to handle client sales and after sales nurturement. About 1/3 of sales team ever hits the monthly quota. You get 13% commissions of deal size which typical deal size is anywhere from $700-$1500, 13% of that is less than $200 gross for huge amount of work load per deal for the client to just end up canceling and commissions gets clawed back.
