Pros

Work-Life Balance is nice. Managers value your right to have time for your personal life. Unless you seek such jobs, work ends at 5/6pm and you don't need to worry about work until the next morning. No work to do from home or anything like that. Opportunities are abundant. With the size of the organization, there are opportunities to go where you desire. Even if you take a job you aren't thrilled with to get in with the company, most jobs ask for a 12-18 month commitment and then you can post for promotions and other opportunities. During your commitment, you are encouraged to explore and get familiar with other roles in the organization and are encouraged to also work on your own personal development. Steady employment. Despite economic troubles in our country the past many years, Paychex has still grown.

Cons

Pay is at market for entry level positions. Earning above market does not come until you have performed well or received promotions into other roles.

Pros

People and the overall environment is a positive one. If you do your part, definite long term career potential. It’s not easy- but stable, growing. Worth serious consideration for early career looking for sales experience with a great training program. Also good for mid-career consideration if base salary isn’t the primary reason you are in sales.

Cons

Very fast pace that doesn’t suit everyone. If you are looking for easy or just a job to “hang out”, this probably isn’t the right spot for you.

Pros

Nothing is good about working here.

Cons

Nobody is ever held accountable. Pay is awful. Benefits were all moved out of state, so all providers in the area are all out of network. Jobs are being moved to India. The list goes on. Sales is the absolute favorite department in the entire company. Nothing sales can do is ever wrong, even when they give false information to clients and then the support team has to deal with the fallback. Don't get me started on Payroll.... the entire department has gone to the wind. I honestly don't know how this company ever did good with payroll services. The #1 complaint i got from every single client I interacted with was they could never get ahold of their Payroll Specialist. The company's response to this was to start making other departments learn payroll duties. This year they moved insurance benefits to a plan out of Arkansas, which made every provider I was already seeing become out of network. I had my first major medical scare of my adulthood and ended up paying a few grand out of pocket because U of R was out of network. Promotions are non existent. They make you apply and interview for any role you want to move into. There is nothing good about working here, and i would advise anyone to stay away from them.
