Pros

It is a big company, so there are a lot of departments you can apply to and change roles. I like my team and manager

Cons

I used to love working here, but things have drastically changed with new leadership. We are so focused on revenue that every thing else seems to be slipping. Things change constantly, the work load continues to grow, and they keep laying off staff off to outsource work to India and/ or use AI. They don’t seem to listen to employee feedback, and nothing seems to change no matter how many surveys we fill out. They used to allow remote work, but now most people are either hybrid or onsite. The company just seems outdated and it feels like we throw strategies against the wall to see what sticks. We constantly have clients leaving due to price or other service concerns, so if you’re in a service role, you face the brunt of those conversations.

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

Remote work and Flexible Time Off

Cons

Low pay. Minimal to no career growth. Constant leadership turnover. Conflicting priorities from the top with little strategic direction. Endless “do more with less” mentality and burnout. Mandatory culture and positivity “training” instead of fixing the problems creating poor culture. The company has become reactive, chaotic, and disconnected from the employees who keep it running. Current CEO drove down stock price and eradicated worker morale. Terrible leadership.
