Pros

Great benefits, good culture if you are young and single, rewarding. Great place to learn sales. Lots of training. Nice people overall. Felt like part of the family. Got to meet lots of great business owners. Felt like you were helping people. After 2 years, the recruiters came calling.

Cons

Frat-boy like culture. Competitive. Must have great time management skills or you will be buried. Hard to focus. Hard to give customer service after the sale. Other departments outside of core payroll seemed to run better

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.
