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

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.
