      Pros

      Opportunities for advancement within the company is there; there are plenty of open internal positions at most time of the year. The benefits package is quite generous.

      Cons

      Paychex takes the corporate atmosphere to another level, it is very strict in its rules and there is minimal bending of rules. Job advancement can be difficult at times due to very present office politics. The focus is often on inter-personal relationships as supposed to job expertise and merit in general. Employee recognition consistently relies on kindergarten and school-level activities: free food, candy, toys...

      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.
