      Paychex reviews

      Not as much of a meritocracy as some might want, and inflexible policies can be frustrating. - Anonymous employee Paychex Employee Review

      Pros

      Paychex is a very stable place to work and they have a great product sold and supported by people who really care about what they are doing. Salary could always be higher, but one needs to consider the local job market and general economy as well; given this salaries seem fair.

      Cons

      Vacation time policy is poor and quite inflexible. There is no consideration for flex/comp time unless excessive hours worked. Flexible work arrangements difficult except for those "grandfathered" in. Anyone working less that 50 hours/wk considered a slacker by those that do. Lots of rules are followed for the sole reason that "it's policy". Many are satisfied with the "status quo" and are not interested in improvement.

      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.
