      Pros

      Great benefits, lots of PTO

      Cons

      Pay is so low that even managers need a second job to make ends meet. Incredibly low pay. with no raises ever, regardless of performance. No motivation to work due to low pay. Incredibly low commission structure. No residuals. One time 11% commission paid for a sale, nothing more. Base pay stays at $31,999 and you are NEVER given a raise. This means employees actually lose 3% of their base salary every year due to inflation. I DO NOT RECOMMEND WORKING FOR PAYCHEX. GO TO THEIR COMPETITORS IF YOU WANT TO BE PAID!!!!

      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.
