Pros

reasonably fair for work/life balance

Cons

They hire unprofessional and inexperienced kids right out of college and excuse poor and inappropriate behavior because they are young. They push people out of their positions if they are not at goal by telling them that if they sign a resignation letter and then they will help you get into a new position in the company. WHEN YOU LEAVE A JOB YOU CAN NOT GET UNEMPLOYEMENT. But they never help anyone find a new position. Credit is given to people who cheat. And nothing is done about the high school like environment and disrespect towards other employees. If your position is not a good fit for you, you have to stay in that position for a year before you can promote to another. Which is not a promotion. Its getting a new job. And politics get in the way of getting into new positions.

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

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.
