Pros

A fortune 500 company, it was very satisying going to work everyday knowing I had job security, never having to worry about layoffs, etc. Very professional environment, and I was very proud to tell others you work for a rock solid company.

Cons

Unbalanced work loads at times, the harder you worked, the more you get. Pay was frustrating when tied into your work load. Lower level management is very corporate driven, employees seem to fall between the cracks and lack recognition and I never had a feeling of fulfillment. Job "promotions" turn out to be lateral moves, and pay never seems to catch up with you unless you're with the company for a long time.

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.
