Pros

Benefits would be the only one thing that was good.

Cons

Poor management, lack of training, inequality between employees, some got favoritism over others. Not a team environment you are on your own to figure things out, specially being a new employee. Office environment very cold, people all around me and no idea who they were, lack of friendliness between employees. I never felt welcomed since day one. Manager sold me the world to get me hired and afterwards all changed and was told, “ I never said that”!

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.
