Pros

Compensation, People, Product and Product Development, and Senior Leadership. Pay in sales is directly tied to performance. Paychex tends to hires smart people that fit into the corporate culture. Paychex products are competitive and the company continuously reinvests in product development.

Cons

I've worked for other large organizations and I know from experience there is always something that could be different or better. I also know that people always want what they can't have regardless of whether its good for them or not. With that I don't think there are any downside to working at Paychex. It really is a fantastic company with a very bright future in a thriving industry.

Pros

Nothing is good about working here.

Cons

Nobody is ever held accountable. Pay is awful. Benefits were all moved out of state, so all providers in the area are all out of network. Jobs are being moved to India. The list goes on. Sales is the absolute favorite department in the entire company. Nothing sales can do is ever wrong, even when they give false information to clients and then the support team has to deal with the fallback. Don't get me started on Payroll.... the entire department has gone to the wind. I honestly don't know how this company ever did good with payroll services. The #1 complaint i got from every single client I interacted with was they could never get ahold of their Payroll Specialist. The company's response to this was to start making other departments learn payroll duties. This year they moved insurance benefits to a plan out of Arkansas, which made every provider I was already seeing become out of network. I had my first major medical scare of my adulthood and ended up paying a few grand out of pocket because U of R was out of network. Promotions are non existent. They make you apply and interview for any role you want to move into. There is nothing good about working here, and i would advise anyone to stay away from them.
