Pros

Great benefits package. They encourage healthy living and give discounts and cash back for accomplishing healthy living goals throughout the calendar year. The training is instense and consistent, but it gives us the opportunity to be prepared. They try and accomodate everyday life situations...PTO if needed, paid community service time, alternate working hours, transfers to other branches, etc.

Cons

Senior management has been with the company FOREVER, so the opportunities for advancement into management positions are very far and few in between. When they do come up, it's a blood bath to get them. Even though we are encouraged to apply for other positions within the company, it seems like the selection process has a "most popular" feel to them at times.

Pros

Paychex has a vast amount of opportunities for growth and promotion. The salaries can start a little low, but there is a six month review where the employee can get a raise and then every year in August we have performance reviews and you can receive raises. The benefits are great! They emphasize a healthy workplace by offering to reimburse 75 dollars a year for an excersize related item and they also reimburse for school if it is related. I highly recommend Paychex as it cares about employees and clients.

Cons

No real cons, as with any large organization it is a fairly high hierarchy but with opportunites becoming available all the time.
