Pros

401k and Benefit package , Possible career advancement but management has to like you.

Cons

Worked to death no down time. Tied to an adherence schedule, Expected to be superman on occasion, I often forgot my cape. Clients calling in are impatient because the buck has been passed several times. 2nd and 3rd level support teams are not client facing so the client has to suffer if there is a system issue. No one will ever respond back to them because they do not have time and you cannot use a not ready state on the phone. CRM tools used are convoluted and extremely time consuming. I struggled to find an efficient process that brought customer satisfaction. Left because I had no control of process. Its sad because the company has potential , its evident management is not savoy enough to understand the big picture. I would only recommend this company to someone right out of school looking for corporate experience. Be aware of brainwashing culture process. Basically what they want you to do is except all the BS in the workplace and maintain a positive attitude. Thats one thing if your being compensated for it but your not.

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.
