Pros

Good benefits, training, and opportunities to learn about other roles within the company if yours isn't the right fit.

Cons

Your leadership really makes or breaks you. Some people have decades-long incredibly fulfilling careers at Paychex and others get burnt out quickly, and it all comes down to the leaders involved. Some geographical areas look like a totally different company from others because of this.

Pros

I did not experience any pros during my time here

Cons

My time here was horrible. Terrible culture. No such thing as work-life balance. Every other day they're adding on to you to-do list. In this role, you are basically 5 people in 1.
