Pros

Technology, people, work life balance

Cons

Paychex has lost its awareness of what is happening at a field level and is more concerned about appearances. There are a lot of surveys on service and employee engagement that seem to be manipulated to portray the story corporate wants to project. Paychex seems to have grown into a large organization that is concerned about getting first to the 3 billion mark and now onto more. Corporate officers are receiving large bonuses and don't seem to be concerned as they once were about the reality of things that need to be improved at an employee and client level. There are still a lot of great things about this organization but it is moving away from the some of the cornerstones of customer service and treating employees like family it started with.

Not the Paychex I’ve known

Pros

Benefits are amazing, no complaints here

Cons

I don’t even know where to start. Disorganized management, no solid ground. Changes being tossed at you with no explaination. 5 managers in 2 years, all with different ideas that you need to adapt to. Spent more time putting out client fires with the account specialists than getting to sell. Worked 50+ hours a week, no work life balance. Micro-managed. Low base salary but ample commission structure.

Pros

Good 401k and benefits

Cons

No work life balance. Constant over turn. Horrible manager who didn’t know answers to basic 401k questions. Everyone that worked there worked less than a year
