Pros

High quality training compared to industry standard Good medical benefits Average 401k

Cons

This place is very cliquey, and several individuals have been promoted because they are in the clique and not because of their qualifications. Pay is significantly below industry standard, high performing individuals with 5-7 years experience on average make under $22/hour. Executive leadership over the past few years has proven they don't listen to their employees which has resulted in a mass exodus of quality talent.

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.
