      Pros

      Getting hired at Paychex is extremely competitive, for a good reason. Paychex values employees and encourages their advancement within the company. Great pay, benefits, and awesome management.

      Cons

      Certain positions are pretty overwhelming. You must be extremely efficient and have a tough hide when it comes to dealing with clients.

      Hard work does not pay

      Pros

      Experienced staff that works toward team goals with a mentoring spirit.

      Cons

      Too many clients per specialist. Managers only care about their own successes and bonuses. Promotes only popular staff. Favoritism is rampant. Working people at 125% nonstop will always burn out your staff. Stop asking for solutions to problems you have no intention to correct.

      Good company to work for, but not great

      Pros

      Good company overall. The benefits are pretty solid from what I've seen. Great emphasis on work/life balance. Flexible hours. Good people for the most part who are intelligent and know what they're doing.

      Cons

      Depending on where you are in the company, it can turn into "the boys club" pretty easily. Management can definitely have favorites and show some favoritism in some cases. It's not blatantly bad, but when you watch people get away with things that others get in trouble for or get spoken to about, it can be frustrating. Management can be set in their ways about a lot of things, so there's little room for fresh ideas, unless your ideas are their ideas.
