Pros

Hard to think of one positive about this place besides they help with the bills.

Cons

Oh where to begin... I'd first like to start by saying I wish someone warned me or I read into the reviews about this company because my experience here has been nothing but horrible. I was very excited to start because my soon to be manager kept selling me on how great of a job this would be, only to find out that that was far from the case. You train for two months but while you train, you're expected to be closing deals and be outside in the field while also attending training seminars that make up for most of your day. Management is terrible. You are nothing but just another number to them. As soon as your numbers are low, you’re treated in a way that is worthy of going to HR about. Teams and managers are very cliquey; I felt my manager was always talking behind my back (because he badmouthed about others to me). Their Salesforce is extremely out-of-date and they won't hire someone to come in and clean it up (which would make our job a lot easier). Although I was hired on for the Payroll team, I was expected to sell their other services such as 401k and HR. They say it’s unlimited PTO, but that is a scam at this company because you take one day off and your manager shames you for it and is reluctant to approve. I now understand why the turnover rate is so high here. It's a terrible company to work for with terrible people managing it. I would advise anyone to stay far away from this company. I would never recommend Paychex to anyone no matter how in need of a job they are.

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.
