Pros

The company has a great name brand, and the products work (most of the time). They are really easy on you if you do not hit your number for a few months in a row, so the job security is pretty good. If you do hit your number consistently, you get autonomy to pretty much do what you want to do.

Cons

The organization can be very "clicky"...at least at the local level. If you do not buddy up with the leaders at the regional level, than you are overlooked, or not given preferential treatment. Top sales reps are allowed to do whatever they want, and treat others very poorly, and nothing ever happens to them. From what I know, there have been several managers that have come and gone over the years because of this. Managers are typically former successful sales reps, but that doesn't mean they know how to manage. The regional manager only comes to town every once in a while, and even then, only hangs out with the reps that are a part of the "click", which is only just a couple of them.

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.
