Pros

Paychex is a great company to work for a number of reasons. 1. Company perks. When you win, you feel like you are on top of the world. From last Friday of the month off to team happy hours and events, Paychex knows how to treat their top performers. 2. Work/Life Balance. I have to say I've had many jobs in my life and this by far exceeds any company I've ever worked for. You literally choose your own schedule with the exception of a mandatory Monday morning meeting. Monday afternoons through Friday you get to choose when you see your clients, when you visit your partners. You don't have to sacrifice time and work a ton of hours to do the job. 3. Money. I'll say it again. When you win, you are winning. The compensation structure at Paychex is gold. They nailed it on the head with bonuses and percentages because it doesn't take much to easily hit over $100k annually. 4. Training. You are so well trained on all of the products and services it's ridiculous. I came in not knowing a thing about accounting, payroll, taxes, nothing. I am now able to speak intelligently about it to my peers and it feels so good to know what the hell you're talking about. 5. Management. I can't say enough good things about my managers. Because they were in the same job I was in at some point, they get it. They don't micromanage you and over step boundaries. They truly feel like your friend and genuinely want you to succeed in the job.

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.
