Pros

Besides the ultimate number on my W2, I cant say there was much else to be thankful for.

Cons

Poor management, clouded company vision, bad hiring practices, HORRIFYING base salary...and those were the highlights of the last year. Year over year, sales expectations raised without guidance; base compensation or frankly, the infrastructure to support it. The' best' Paychex reps are the C-team, the kids who just get hit by the ball to get on base. If you are a true Player, you are way too qualified for this job. If you are smart/good/talented sales person, stay far far away.

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.
