      Great company, Great products/services, but pay needs to be adjusted

      Pros

      Great benefits, professional company culture, excellent sales training (Top 125 in U.S.), Work vs. life balance pretty good, great company to start sales career and move on in 1-3 years, Great reputation in the industry

      Cons

      Base pay for territory sales rep $38K (I started in 2011 with Paychex, made this base 9 years ago with another Fortune 500 company), Commissions can vary greatly depending upon performance, Very demanding job and huge learning curve, You have to bust your butt to make $75K (Conference level), reality is about $50-$65K (and this won't come easy the 1st year)

      Pros

      Great starting place for a career. I was hired through a temp agency and worked hard and got hired full-time. The clout of working at Paychex is pretty big in Rochester, NY (makes you feel good when you tell people you work there) Benefits are decent, but they are a lot lower than they were a decase or two ago.

      Cons

      The pay is very very low for entry personell along with supervisors. Not until you get to middle management and above do you get a decent pay. The stock options are worth nothing. The only thing you get with the low-pay is the fact that when you tell peole you work at Paychex it sounds good. Too bad they don't realize you make only 30K

      Pros

      Paychex has a bright future when the economy rebounds. My co-workers were great and Paychex offered good benefits.

      Cons

      Too much change for the sake of change - managers (especially those new to Paychex) should listen before they make changes.
