Pros

Great product and name recognition. We win a lot of business on reputation of good customer service. Training and Trainers are great, although not much training after the first 6 months. If your hard worker you can do this job and get trips ( I got to go to Hawaii). If you don't have great work ethic don't even bother applying.

Cons

You have to kiss some serious a** if you want to get promoted. In the interview Paychex talks of career advancement and the ability to work in other divisions, however that is not even close to being accurate. Managers are number takers with no motivation ability. Company culture is to have a bunch if yes people in management rather than have people with new ideas. Pay is below average unless your gifted with a good territory. Territories are based on who they want to help succeed and not given to those who have already proven themself. Company defintalely caters to women. If you are a good looking female you couldn't work for a better company. For some reason management is scared to death to upset the women.

Pros

Good Benefits, good people, opportunities for those who work hard and don't complain all day. The training program is great too.

Cons

The pay could be better for sure. Sometimes management fails to look forward and plan accordingly. A less conservative dress policy for operations would be nice.
