      Pros

      Paychex is a very steady company that’s one of the large players in the payroll and HCM space. There’s great job security working for a company like Paychex. Fellow employees are all very easy to work with, there are very few large egos at the company. The training programs here are really impressive. Great work life balance for me as a remote employee.

      Cons

      It’s somewhat unclear what the development track is for certain positions. Compensation is decent, but lack of cash bonuses is a bummer.

      Pros

      Nice people. Good health benefits.

      Cons

      You will be lied to in your interview about the OTE. Leaders will tell you you’re supposed to make $150-$200k in your first year. The reality is only about 10 reps out of 400 make that. You will make slightly more than your base salary. Territories have been burned by previous reps. Many times you will find that one of those 10 reps that are actually being successful already sold an account in your territory into oblivion. You never stood a chance. Every deal is discounted and you need 3-4 levels of management approval just for 1 contract. Don’t do it. You will regret coming here for the rest of your life.
