Pros

Paychex has an excellent leadership team. The corporate culture is very unique because we service small businesses, but we also have the stability of a large company. The products are on the cutting edge of technology giving clients the ability to process payroll wherever they need to. Paychex is a great place for an entry level person to start and build a long term career.

Cons

There is plenty of competition in the payroll industry, but Paychex stacks up well when it comes to our products and especially our service. The economy has also given us a few challenges, but we are positioned very well considering the strong referral base of new business.

Pros

-benefits -small base salary -learn industry -professional and supportive environment

Cons

Leaders are the best arm chair QBs I've ever seen. Their office is inconveniently located by the airport and you will be expected to go to rah rah meetings once a week. Their biggest downfall is the uncanny ability to have reps spend hours on end engaging in pointless "non revenue" generating activities. They treat their sales training like a classroom. Hours of mundane educational seminars. For anyone who understands sales you need to be spending hrs "selling" not "talking about selling".
