Pros

*great place to learn the ropes of HCM *Good training *Decent technology

Cons

*Biggest thing is over the past 3 years they have moved away from focusing on their employees and people first. The culture is no longer a collaborative and positive setting. *Career growth is limited (discouraged internally from moving to different depts) *Base and commission are on lower end for industry *Disconnect between upper management and field level *For management there are pretty large discrepancies in quota assignment *No visioion for SMB division - might be different in other areas

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.
