Pros

The compensation is great with commissions, the base is okay. The more you sell, the higher your commission multiplier, and that means more money on ever sale. The CEO is great and has created a fantastic atmosphere. Some months they offer extra bonus incentives for hitting your quota. No micro-management. You get out what you put in. Have to be a self-starter Benefits are the best I have ever had at any company. Family and health always come first

Cons

Base salaries are much higher at other Payroll companies. Management plays favorites. If you are not performing they don't offer coaching, they just expect you to sink or swim, however every office and management team is different. Sometimes get the "what have you done for me lately vibe" Not a lot of options for career-pathing if you don't work at corporate.

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.
