Pros

Work-Life Balance is nice. Managers value your right to have time for your personal life. Unless you seek such jobs, work ends at 5/6pm and you don't need to worry about work until the next morning. No work to do from home or anything like that. Opportunities are abundant. With the size of the organization, there are opportunities to go where you desire. Even if you take a job you aren't thrilled with to get in with the company, most jobs ask for a 12-18 month commitment and then you can post for promotions and other opportunities. During your commitment, you are encouraged to explore and get familiar with other roles in the organization and are encouraged to also work on your own personal development. Steady employment. Despite economic troubles in our country the past many years, Paychex has still grown.

Cons

Pay is at market for entry level positions. Earning above market does not come until you have performed well or received promotions into other roles.

Pros

The people you work with. Work environment, flexibility, strong and supportive management, incentive programs, excellent PTO system, most of all the camaraderie here is amazing, sales encourages constant promotion and helps you get to management fast, major sales jobs recruit from paychex reps if you ever decide to leave the company. Everyone knows someone - the networking possibilities are endless. Full benefits day of hire - great health plans with no deductible, Cafeteria plan, matching 401k, 2 weeks paid vacation that you can borrow against if you haven't accrued it yet.

Cons

If you work ops your advancement is limited at best, ops advancement requires years of experience within paychex for jobs which can easily be learned by an inexperienced individual, behind the ball with systems and technology inside the company and for the clients, we are the most expensive solution so price will always be a strong objection to overcome when you sell
