      Beware of highly political environment and unqualified management

      Analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Typically great benefits but stopped 401K match and froze all merit based raises - they say for 1 year, but very likely indefinitely.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, the work environment is very political, projects have been on hold for years even though they claim to be "quick to act." IT is dragging company to a halt, incompetent managers that have been promoted due to tenure not performance, salary is rather low for the area and job responsibilities, failure to deliver on personal training and development which they sell so hard to you during your interview and first couple of weeks

      Rewards for tenure not competence

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Stability of the company and the market we serve is a huge value proposition The large client base inwhich to sell our products and services to Our Health and Benefits are good - even in light of the recent economic reductions

      Cons

      There is a huge double standard at Paychex - corporate. Tenure always out weights competency or results.. There are good people who have worked at Paychex for 20 years and thats all they know - but in this new ecomony and business climate, new ideas, skills and approaches are required and the tenured people tend to be be part of the problem and not the solution. Management seam to be isolated and not in tune with the issues and gets advice from these tenured people that are not always accurate.
