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.

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

A guaranteed paycheck is the only positive attribute I can post for Paychex.

Cons

Paychex used to be a Decent company to work for. Over the last 2 years it has been a disaster since so many company changes have taken place. Most client services are now “ outsourced” to other countries. However employees are warned of “ trigger” words to not use so that the clients do not have this information. The clients are constantly upset due to so many mistakes our Global partners make , then we are responsible for correcting all the errors. Management is aware of this. The clients are not happy at all. Yet nothing changes. Would not advise anyone or refer other to work for this company.
