Pros

They are ethical and good overall as a company, great benefits, yearly bonuses

Cons

Huge work-life balance issues. They need to hire more people within payroll, specialists are being required to handle way more than they should be and for a lot less pay than other payroll competitors. Handling 300-400 clients payroll while being required to fix LARGE issues that pop up is unreasonable especially while newbies are meant to have time to train to get to senior status which also raises their pay but many are having to sacrifice this to spend time on projects/issues because stats are becoming everything. This could be an amazing company but they don’t want to pay for it.

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.
