      Pros

      Great people to work side by side.

      Cons

      Mgmt is deplorable. It is Logan's Run there. Getting rid of older ee's in favor of young graduates. Total hypocrisy based on "Paychex Values" and reality. Total pressure cooker. WOULD NOT RECCOMEND

      Pros

      Constant training and building of knowledge base. Team atmosphere - we all help each other out with the growing amount of work that is nearly impossible to complete in a timely manner.

      Cons

      Current restructuring of company - overworked, understaffed and underpaid compared to industry average. The "specialized one on one service" we once provided our clients is diminishing and clients are becoming frustrated with lack of quick response time we once prided ourselves on.

      Pros

      Great benefits, great co-workers, mostly good client base. 401K match is above standard. Several bump up benefit options that are well worth the premium.

      Cons

      Reorganized our division three times in the last year. You cannot leave for vacation and know who you will be reporting to when you return. Discord among the group has resulted in constant absence with less tenured employees leaving others to pick up the slack.
