Paychex reviews

Pay is GROSSLY below average for the industry, and they don't pay more for tenured employees. Pay at Paychex is GROSSLY below the pay for equivalent roles at Paycor. Operations is completely disconnected from sales, so they make changes that can drastically impact your income with absolutely no thought for you or your family. They allow managers to hire for roles with one set of expectations (territory, comp structure, training schedule, ramp period), and then change those expectations after you start. You have a quota from BEFORE day one in some divisions. If you join a mid-month training class be sure to ask and get in writing when your quota will start!

If you are looking for an employer that will pay you what your market value is then this is not the place. Kind of similar to working at some other big companies where you are squeezed with amount of work but minus the pay. Almost every team has India offshore employees and you will be expected to handle and juggle multiple aspects outside of just your team. You typically have 1 or even more delivery teams on top of your standard team and at a pretty low salary in today’s market. Dont expect raises or bonuses and most of the positional promotions are hard to come by because there is a lot of ppl that are entrenched within the company positions for quiet a long time. The HR is absolutely useless and can hardly be relied upon in case you decide to get them to intervene. Also the culture has changed completely in 2025 where they are more focused on micromanaging using metrics to track everything you do in detail even to the point where they track your camera time on meetings.
