Pros

I started off at National Sales Support (NSS) and it gave me the opportunity to learn the culture of the company as well as the basics of what Paychex has to offer its customers. They are looking for a commitment of 12 months at NSS and there after getting promoted to what fits you best. Benefits are a great plus as well.

Cons

Financial compensation is mediocre for an enter level position (NSS) and it turns into what feels like a game of endurance at times. The supervisors and co-workers can make or break your 12 months.

Pros

The people you work with. Work environment, flexibility, strong and supportive management, incentive programs, excellent PTO system, most of all the camaraderie here is amazing, sales encourages constant promotion and helps you get to management fast, major sales jobs recruit from paychex reps if you ever decide to leave the company. Everyone knows someone - the networking possibilities are endless. Full benefits day of hire - great health plans with no deductible, Cafeteria plan, matching 401k, 2 weeks paid vacation that you can borrow against if you haven't accrued it yet.

Cons

If you work ops your advancement is limited at best, ops advancement requires years of experience within paychex for jobs which can easily be learned by an inexperienced individual, behind the ball with systems and technology inside the company and for the clients, we are the most expensive solution so price will always be a strong objection to overcome when you sell
