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.
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.
