Pros

Good benefits, training, and opportunities to learn about other roles within the company if yours isn't the right fit.

Cons

Your leadership really makes or breaks you. Some people have decades-long incredibly fulfilling careers at Paychex and others get burnt out quickly, and it all comes down to the leaders involved. Some geographical areas look like a totally different company from others because of this.
