Pros

Unlimited PTO, Flexible WFH, a lot of freedom to find what works for you as a sales person

Cons

Working with CPAs and getting business from them can be really difficult. They want you to be able to solve problems and have basic knowledge on taxation and how businesses operate at a tax level but Paychex does not train you in that at all. They train you in how to sell. Your success is very dependent on the level of training your manager puts in and how good they are at solving those complex problems because if you can't solve a problem for a CPA they will not refer you. Comp plan was much better in previous years but has since been completely slashed. They also laid off a lot of good people who were in the organization for many years so they could outsource their jobs to India. Not very true to what their values were as a "People first" company.

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

Remote work and Flexible Time Off

Cons

Low pay. Minimal to no career growth. Constant leadership turnover. Conflicting priorities from the top with little strategic direction. Endless “do more with less” mentality and burnout. Mandatory culture and positivity “training” instead of fixing the problems creating poor culture. The company has become reactive, chaotic, and disconnected from the employees who keep it running. Current CEO drove down stock price and eradicated worker morale. Terrible leadership.
