Pros

It’s a job that allows you break into HCM. They’re a very well known company in HCM and every employee you speak to afterwards will know someone who worked at Paychex.

Cons

You’ll be underpaid compared to your sales peers. The product is usually complex and leadership won’t be very hands on. You’re on your own
