Pros

Work Life Balance; ability to work from home; good earnings potential; ability to succeed and hit quota in just about any economy...up or down.

Cons

You get bogged down by corporate and management with the "flavor of the week." Every week there is a product or new presentation (with all the same old information, just spun differently) that they want you to focus on rehashing to your CPAs or current clients. You have to put your own plan in place and stick to it. You are stuck telling management what they want to hear and what they want to see within the CRM tool. Using the phones is much more effective and a better use of time than driving throughout your territory each day going on in person calls.

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.
