Pros

Paychex created an unreal environment to grow as an entry level sales rep. Through the 90's and early 2000's it seemed like the greatest company to work for.

Cons

As soon as the founder stepped down as the CEO, he began to struggle with leaving his company that he built. He refused to allow the current leadership to change with the times. Simple things like going paperless, or accepting technology driven systems were all so foreign and he inhibited progression from happening. Many great top level executives came and went because they didn't agree with his part time leadership.

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.

Pros

Remote work and Flexible Time Off

Cons

Low pay. Minimal to no career growth. Constant leadership turnover. Conflicting priorities from the top with little strategic direction. Endless “do more with less” mentality and burnout. Mandatory culture and positivity “training” instead of fixing the problems creating poor culture. The company has become reactive, chaotic, and disconnected from the employees who keep it running. Current CEO drove down stock price and eradicated worker morale. Terrible leadership.
