      Pros

      Training, exposure to different industries

      Cons

      Pay is not aligned with job expectations; clients are not screened for longevity--pushed through for 90 days so sales can make their quota; upward mobility for field HRGs limited and based on favoritism and not merit; company as a whole not supportive of telecommuting; bonus structure not transparent

      Pros

      Paychex is a great company to work for. I’ve held multiple roles over 20+ years. There are always ups and downs, but for every position, manager, decision I disagree with, there are ten others that are outstanding.

      Cons

      It’s a large company with many opportunities to grow, but smaller companies may offer higher compensation.

      Pros

      People and the overall environment is a positive one. If you do your part, definite long term career potential. It’s not easy- but stable, growing. Worth serious consideration for early career looking for sales experience with a great training program. Also good for mid-career consideration if base salary isn’t the primary reason you are in sales.

      Cons

      Very fast pace that doesn’t suit everyone. If you are looking for easy or just a job to “hang out”, this probably isn’t the right spot for you.
