Pros

Work from home, some coworkers, PTO package

Cons

Can't actually use the generous PTO. Leadership has lost its touch and the ball is rolling down hill fast. Insurance premiums up with ultimate lose of coverage. There is no accountability, if you try to bring it up you paint a target on your back. If your a poor performer this is the place for you they will coddle and protect you, if your a high performer prepare for stress and having to put the "team" on your back since you'll be getting all the work of the low performers moved to you.

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

People and the overall environment is a positive one. If you do your part, definite long term career potential. It’s not easy- but stable, growing. Worth serious consideration for early career looking for sales experience with a great training program. Also good for mid-career consideration if base salary isn’t the primary reason you are in sales.

Cons

Very fast pace that doesn’t suit everyone. If you are looking for easy or just a job to “hang out”, this probably isn’t the right spot for you.
