Pros
Paychex is a place where you can get some excellent training if you are an entry-level sales professional. Other companies recruit from Paychex because of their training. Good place to stay for 2-3 years and then move on to a bigger and better opportunity. Benefits are okay.
Cons
-Ability to move up is slim to none. (It's a good ole boys company.. so those who have been there for years get promoted. Positions are slim outside of NY.) -In the HR industry, it's a rat race. Lots of high pressure selling to prospects. -Slow in developing technology. -Micro-management from the top-down. -Managers are not helpful when you need it. Its like they dont know what to do. -Little respect from the DSMs no matter what your numbers are. -They hardly ever promote the people that should be promoted (the great leaders). They promote friends. -Communication all across the company is horrible. -Turnover for both reps and management is unreal. (Even the referral partners get sick of it) -The pay is low. -No work/life balance at all! The DSMs want you to do ALL of your admin work in the evenings and weekends... and with all the unnecessary processes in place, that leaves no free time.
