Pros

They have great opportunities for training if you want to learn. Also, they encourage suggestions for process improvements. Their benefits are some of the best I have seen. The tuition reimbursement is helpful if you decide to use it.

Cons

They care more about how long you've been with the company than your performance or what you have to offer. I find it difficult to attempt to interview for different departments. The starting pay is below average for the industry (which is probably why their benefits are better).

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.
