Pros

In certain roles your job is secure because you’ll be spending your days fixing internal errors or mistakes.

Cons

I have worked here a very long time now and the changes that have taken place since we became Paychex 2.0 have tanked the company beyond belief and company stock prices confirm that. Roles that offered work from home options pre covid had those days taken away with the return to office mandate. EAMs are given raise after raise to try to keep people in those roles, but they know less than ever. Expect pay to be below market if you’re not in an EAM role. They are paid more than leads on other teams, even with 1/10 of the tenure of those leads. Csuit used to know employee names. These paychex guys have made it clear that they couldn’t care less.

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Cons

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
