Pros

Hard work is rewarded. Most positions I've held elsewhere could not keep up with my drive to improve. Paychex recognizes effort, which drives me to do more, both for myself and the company. Pay is good, benefits are great, and the culture of the office is incredible.

Cons

If your goal is to clock in, clock out, and collect your check, Paychex is not for you. The benefits of the position don't negate the fact that the work itself is incredibly challenging. Paychex invests incredibly well in stress management resources (i.e. work/life balance), but that doesn't mean the work is stress-free. It's the nature of the beast, but if you're prepared for it, I can't think of a better company to work with.

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

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.
