      Pros

      Nice people. Good health benefits.

      Cons

      You will be lied to in your interview about the OTE. Leaders will tell you you’re supposed to make $150-$200k in your first year. The reality is only about 10 reps out of 400 make that. You will make slightly more than your base salary. Territories have been burned by previous reps. Many times you will find that one of those 10 reps that are actually being successful already sold an account in your territory into oblivion. You never stood a chance. Every deal is discounted and you need 3-4 levels of management approval just for 1 contract. Don’t do it. You will regret coming here for the rest of your life.

      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.
