Pros

Great teammates, decent training, good health insurance and 401k match

Cons

Great for your first sales job. As an experienced sales professional I feel very micro managed and spoken to like a child. Most managers do not help you grow at all. I've seen plenty of reps do horrible role plays or give wrong answers only to be told "great job". They are really not helping their team be successful. My dials, appointments set, appointments ran, and referrals are all tracked each day. We have weekly trainings that rarely bring any value. Extremely high turnover. On my team I've seen 6+ reps leave over the last year and I'm aware of 3 reps that are looking for a new role. If you are doing well, you are praised but if you miss one month, you are threatened with a PIP.

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.
