Pros

Direct contact for clients, 1:1 relationship with customers. Transferrable skills to other payroll positions at other employers. Great training, and continuous.

Cons

Point of contact for clients, so when something goes wrong- you're the release. On the frontline for Paychex.

Pros

There are truly good people at Paychex.

Cons

The company's initiative is to provide culture shaping to the whole company was my down fall. They force this on you and you have no choice. These culture shaping exercises are very uncomfortable. Turn to the person next to you and tell them how you appreciate them, I don't know you, how do you appreciate a person you don't know? Most of my peers felt uncomfortable. Does Paychex not see how uncomfortable it makes people? If you did not participate a meeting was scheduled to discuss why you were not "here and now". Definitely not the Paychex Values.

We definitely don't want to put any of our employees in uncomfortable situations. Sorry to hear that we were not the right company for you. Good luck in your career.
