      Pros

      They take you right out of undergrad and give you rigorous sales training. Sets you up for future success.

      Cons

      Rochester winters are brutal. Better hope your training isn't between November and March.

      Pros

      Paychex offers a very competitive, excellent benefit package complete with a decent 401K match. Brand/name recognition makes it easier to get in the door with prospective clients. It's what happens after you win a client that's concerning.

      Cons

      Paychex has always been behind the curve when it comes to technology, trying to keep up with its competitors rather than coming to market first. I speak from my experience as a payroll/HR sales representative, selling technology solutions to larger businesses. Larger businesses rely heavily on their payroll processor to provide sound advice, accurate reporting, & technology they can count on to perform consistently.

      Pros

      Ability to grow and job security in an area with limited IT opportunities. Many people that i had worked with had been with Paychex for 10+ years and enjoyed being employed there. Good to work with people who didn't mind going to work.

      Cons

      Got the feeling that your growth within the company followed a strict ladder. First job i interviewed for out of college they required to sign a two year contract with that position. Ended up landing a better position 2 years later that took the person I was replacing 4 years to reach by working up the ladder.
