Pros

Great benefits, good training, work from home for certain sectors

Cons

I worked for the company for 10+ years and watched the quality of treatment of the employees go downhill. While pay did not change much, expectations for productivity and knowledge continued to increase. The stress level in branches is particularly high and does not seem likely to change. Management seems out of touch with front line employees.

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.
