Pros

Relatively recession proof. Never had corporate layoffs. Product is still in high demand. Upward mobility is realistic.

Cons

Can't think of any. Paychex has treated me very well.

Good place to start

Pros

Seems like a good place to get started, but advancement is limited, and there is a lot of "favoritism" that goes on.

Cons

They seems to be more interested in how long you've been working at Paychex than if you know how to do your job.

Pros

Great product and name recognition. We win a lot of business on reputation of good customer service. Training and Trainers are great, although not much training after the first 6 months. If your hard worker you can do this job and get trips ( I got to go to Hawaii). If you don't have great work ethic don't even bother applying.

Cons

You have to kiss some serious a** if you want to get promoted. In the interview Paychex talks of career advancement and the ability to work in other divisions, however that is not even close to being accurate. Managers are number takers with no motivation ability. Company culture is to have a bunch if yes people in management rather than have people with new ideas. Pay is below average unless your gifted with a good territory. Territories are based on who they want to help succeed and not given to those who have already proven themself. Company defintalely caters to women. If you are a good looking female you couldn't work for a better company. For some reason management is scared to death to upset the women.
