Pros

The company has changed a lot in recent years. They still have a reputation as being very stiff and stuffy - strict dress code, clean desk policies, etc. It has loosened a lot. In IT, the dress code allows jeans - not quite the 3 piece suit of yesteryear.

Cons

The culture is very process heavy, and there can be roadblocks to productivity. The positive side is they know it, and are trying to address it.

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.
