Pros

Great Management Great Operations Healthy work/life balance Benfits are great for a Large Company

Cons

Expectations to build referral business with a variety of networks (Banks, CPA's, current clients, new clients, etc...) can be very overwhelming. Base pay... low for this area... When sales are good, life is good. Slow months when your working your tail off make it difficult to live off of low take home pay. Turnover is high.... mostly due to more money offered.

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

Literally just being able to work fully remote, but not much else

Cons

Pay is ridiculously low for the expected effort and tasks needed to handle client sales and after sales nurturement. About 1/3 of sales team ever hits the monthly quota. You get 13% commissions of deal size which typical deal size is anywhere from $700-$1500, 13% of that is less than $200 gross for huge amount of work load per deal for the client to just end up canceling and commissions gets clawed back.
