Pros

Good company overall. The benefits are pretty solid from what I've seen. Great emphasis on work/life balance. Flexible hours. Good people for the most part who are intelligent and know what they're doing.

Cons

Depending on where you are in the company, it can turn into "the boys club" pretty easily. Management can definitely have favorites and show some favoritism in some cases. It's not blatantly bad, but when you watch people get away with things that others get in trouble for or get spoken to about, it can be frustrating. Management can be set in their ways about a lot of things, so there's little room for fresh ideas, unless your ideas are their ideas.

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.
