Beware

Pros

Good compensation when you are successful

Cons

Employees are like cult members. High stress and pressure to meet activity metrics. Many people fired in first 6 months of job. All feedback is negative and they don't tolerate reps that don't immediately succeed. Terrible work/life balance. Reps are "encouraged" to work weekends and company holidays.

Pros

Paychex has all progressive initiatives for inclusion with hiring practices, managements styles and clear policies and procedures. I have been working here for 10 years and would not leave my position. Great benefits, ample time off, and employee engagement. There is a lot of room for growth.

Cons

You are busy every day but not sure that is a con. Time flies when you are working.
