Pros

Fair pay, generous benefits, generous time off package. I've seen a lot of upward mobility in the short time I've been here. The company definitely takes the time to hire the RIGHT people for the jobs they are filling, not just any warm body off the streets. They also invest in their employees with lots of food days, snack cart, and jeans days.

Cons

Training was very high level and vague. Additional training is very learn-as-you-go, fly-by-the-seat-of-your pants. Cross-company communication isn't consistent when it comes to major changes like Healthcare Reform.

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.
