Pros

There is a lot of opportunities to learn at Paychex, but you must be motivated to do so. The training is great. There is generally a good amount of support from co workers, and you can ask questions to anyone who works there and find your answer.

Cons

The workload is tough. Basically if you do a good job, you are rewarded with more clients. There is a lot of management saying they understand, but little of doing anything to help with the issues.

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.
