Pros

Provides a good corporate experience for college graduates. Quite easy to secure employment. Opportunities to transfer departments.

Cons

Low hourly pay, feels like working an after school highschool job with a corporate dress code, little respect for non-management. Regardless of employee age, you are treated like a child. BS degree required but jobs can be done by anyone with average intelligence, and so there is an odd discrepancy between work duties and required qualification. Felt like an electronic assembly line.

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

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.
