      From Ops to Sales

      National sales support
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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

      If you are not part of the click, you will be left behind

      Core sales representative

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.
