Pros

Work from home (although new sales reps won’t be able to for much longer)

Cons

Just overall terrible. Sales reps have outrageous quotas that are just completely unattainable unless you are put into an amazing territory (or you are buddy buddy with managers). They preach this “partnership” between sales reps to send referrals but all the partners care about is themselves and will sabotage your sale to get their own. They consistently reward the most UNETHICAL people because they are bringing in sales. They have people presenting products that they aren’t even licensed in which is highly illegal. Can’t believe they let those people do what they want and harass others. I was borderline harassed by another sales rep who consistently broke the rules. All managers and upper management have favorites and consistently talk about those favorites even in department wide calls. You will not be able to sell unless you harass your clients and start to become unethical yourself. Cannot believe the CEO has let it get this bad. Truly disappointed and cannot wait to leave. I LOVED sales and was good at it, but this job and company has truly ruined any possibility of me going back into sales in the future.

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.
