Pros

Flexibility in your schedule. This does promote work/life balance as long as you have the professionalism to handle managing 95% of your own time.

Cons

While promoting from within is a great idea, Paychex tends to promote because of longevity vs. experience. Too many managers have no tangible experience outside of Paychex and therefore bring nothing to the table.

Pros

Great benefits and amazing stability top the list. It takes time to climb the ladder, but you know you have a job/career to go to each day. That is indeed priceless. That and they are flexible enough to allow us to work 4 10 hour shifts that result in 3 day weekends.

Cons

I had to take a hefty pay cut to take this position. This combined with a 2 year commitment before I can move up to a new position within IT are the biggest downfalls. At the end of the day I know I have a job to go to every day, and a career to advance. In my opinion the good well out weighs the bad.
