Pros

A trip to Rochester for two weeks and the knowledge you gain for future jobs. Great benefits, PTO, holiday, and vacation are good if you are able to use it.

Cons

Horrible management on all levels. Glorified data entry specialists with some tax knowledge. Constantly discriminated against by management. Horrible morale within the company, mainly due to management positions. And when they say you can grow, they dangle a new open position in front of you then quickly say it's not available, due to cuts.

Pros

Paychex is a great company to work for. I’ve held multiple roles over 20+ years. There are always ups and downs, but for every position, manager, decision I disagree with, there are ten others that are outstanding.

Cons

It’s a large company with many opportunities to grow, but smaller companies may offer higher compensation.

Pros

Remote work and Flexible Time Off

Cons

Low pay. Minimal to no career growth. Constant leadership turnover. Conflicting priorities from the top with little strategic direction. Endless “do more with less” mentality and burnout. Mandatory culture and positivity “training” instead of fixing the problems creating poor culture. The company has become reactive, chaotic, and disconnected from the employees who keep it running. Current CEO drove down stock price and eradicated worker morale. Terrible leadership.
