Pros

Flexible work schedule decent pay and benefits

Cons

Refuses to move on from the Golisano days. All about making others look bad while making yourself look good. No collaboration. Worships upper management. Never challenges status quo.

H+B Sales Rep - Good Benefits, Decent People, Worse Job

Pros

Benefits mainly paid for, free coffee, nice office building, big desk, a lot of workers from Rochester so you should know some friends there. Management wants you to be successful if they like you. Some good and friendly people.

Cons

Customers are growing unhappy with their Payroll at Paychex making H+B calling on existing clients a much harder sell. Work groups and teams can be in cliques so make sure you either kiss butt or get along with your team, salary is low for industry, Nobody there really likes calling clients on phones every day so there can be negative cube farm repetitive vibe, Commission is also pretty low. Most people here know they can do better and Paychex is stepping stone. Would not recommend for anyone beyond 2 years post college. Definitely not any position here besides Manager worth being too excited about. Plenty of gossip and complaints between workers.
