      Pros

      Culture is great, company cares about its employees and definitely big on internal promotions and development. Coworkers were great and most of leadership was cool. Good benefits.

      Cons

      Workload is unreasonable. If you are good at your job you end up doing the work of everyone around you too. Favoritism is real. The stats you are expected to adhere to are crazy and most of them are not even based on things that are directly in your control. Good work goes under appreciated, management tends to push off things they feel they are above doing to their best employees. It’s a great job if you have a VERY high tolerance for stress.

      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.
