Pros

Taking time off is easy and we're given a decent amount. Depending on your needs the medical benefits can be decent. Non-management staff is a great team to work and be friends with.

Cons

This position asks too much for what is paid. I've transferred from different locations and there is a vast difference between management styles. Upper management is too busy worrying about the "numbers" to actually understand what is driving them. You're promised tons of advancement opportunities, but I'm still waiting for it to happen. Complete lack of communication between departments - there is a 100% disconnect between services offered. One hand doesn't even know how the other hand works. I did my own cost analysis of the area and found that we're grossly underpaid even though we're told by senior management this has been checked.

Pros

Paychex is a great company to work for. I’ve held multiple roles over 20+ years. There are always ups and downs, but for every position, manager, decision I disagree with, there are ten others that are outstanding.

Cons

It’s a large company with many opportunities to grow, but smaller companies may offer higher compensation.

Pros

Nothing is good about working here.

Cons

Nobody is ever held accountable. Pay is awful. Benefits were all moved out of state, so all providers in the area are all out of network. Jobs are being moved to India. The list goes on. Sales is the absolute favorite department in the entire company. Nothing sales can do is ever wrong, even when they give false information to clients and then the support team has to deal with the fallback. Don't get me started on Payroll.... the entire department has gone to the wind. I honestly don't know how this company ever did good with payroll services. The #1 complaint i got from every single client I interacted with was they could never get ahold of their Payroll Specialist. The company's response to this was to start making other departments learn payroll duties. This year they moved insurance benefits to a plan out of Arkansas, which made every provider I was already seeing become out of network. I had my first major medical scare of my adulthood and ended up paying a few grand out of pocket because U of R was out of network. Promotions are non existent. They make you apply and interview for any role you want to move into. There is nothing good about working here, and i would advise anyone to stay away from them.
