Pros

Overall they have a great benefit structure and their compensation structure is decent as well. Their brand is strong in the marketplace and their overall Paychex strategy is in line with what the market is asking for.

Cons

As Paychex acquires new businesses, they do not have a great strategy on how to fold those products, people and strategy into theirs. During my 2 years at Paychex, I personally had 2 Direct Managers, 3 Zone Managers, and 3 strategies all due to the fact that the go to market was ever changing, along with the expectations. Having the ever changing expectations made it extremely difficult to meet goals but also made the work environment challenging.

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.
