Pros

When you are successful, there is no micro-managing. I have been with the company for 12 years. Most reviews on here with negative insight are from people who haven’t been at the company for a year. They are always looking, asking, and listening to us when we tell them what we need.

Cons

Base salaries are not the best as I make the same as new employees in the role. However, the comp plan is one of the best in the industry and benefits are better than most competitors as well. Tiers of conference are not attainable at current goals. Incentive trips and contests shouldn’t be based on % to quota. Example - 3 people hit fast start trip who did less in sales than I needed to even be eligible for the trip.

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 is a plus. Collaboration from peers is more plus than minus. Documentation of business technology was great for the most part.

Cons

Worse holiday observance company I ever worked for. Pay is low for what is asked. Work/life balance was good until 2025. Mid-level leadership and above is not ideal. I had little guidance when I started so, especially from manager so had to figure things out with help of peers.
