Pros

I have been in Core Sales at Paychex for 10 years. I continue to work here due to the great products and services we offer and my ability to make a great living. Paychex also encourages a positive work/life balance which is great for a working mom. You are encouraged to develop a network of referral sources and now most of my business comes from that group of people.

Cons

It can take almost a year to get a full grasp of the products and services and the balance of prospecting, selling and calling on referral sources. Therefore, sometimes you may not see the benefits of the income until that time period. It is a very transactional sale with quite a bit of paperwork. Learning the balance can be difficult for some people.

Pros

If given a good territory, you have the potential to make prety good money, good benefits and 401k match ... when things are going good they are going good!

Cons

usually start off as TRR which is discussed in interview, almost like a glorified telemarketer, low salary, its sales so its all about numbers! if you do great one month and decent another, your relationship with management can fluctuate...also being able to move to management is tough!
