Pros

Great training and a very respected within the outside sales industries. After a year or so recruiters from medical device and pharma sales will be all over you.

Cons

Benefits are poor which is ironic considering Paychex brokers 401(k)s but doesn't offer a match. Because the profitability of the company is directly tied interest rates overall revenue profit has fallen 79% form 2008 to 2009 (available in company annual reports). This has led to extreme micro management. While the techniques used by management can be effected many tenured reps (5+ years) are looking for other options. There is also a real lack of consistency from top management down. The executive cabinet has become a revolving door which sends mixed messages to the sales force.

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.

Pros

Remote work is a plus. Collaboration from peers is more plus than minus. Documentation of business technology was great for the most part.

Cons

Worse holiday observance company I ever worked for. Pay is low for what is asked. Work/life balance was good until 2025. Mid-level leadership and above is not ideal. I had little guidance when I started so, especially from manager so had to figure things out with help of peers.
