Pros

This is an old school sales environment that focuses very heavily upon self generated prospecting. You are responsible for your book of business with very little oversight. It takes a good 6 months to get ramped up depending on activity level so be ready to live off of your salary for 6 mos. Great people to learn from and lots of opportunity to bring in additional revenue through partner relationships. A great company to build your sales acumen.

Cons

Low base salary in a market that is already saturated with competitors. Feels like selling a commodity rather than taking a consultative role with businesses.

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

Remote work is a plus. Collaboration from peers is more plus than minus. Documentation of business technology was great for the most part.

Cons

Worse holiday observance company I ever worked for. Pay is low for what is asked. Work/life balance was good until 2025. Mid-level leadership and above is not ideal. I had little guidance when I started so, especially from manager so had to figure things out with help of peers.
