Pros

Paychex is a great company to work for a number of reasons. 1. Company perks. When you win, you feel like you are on top of the world. From last Friday of the month off to team happy hours and events, Paychex knows how to treat their top performers. 2. Work/Life Balance. I have to say I've had many jobs in my life and this by far exceeds any company I've ever worked for. You literally choose your own schedule with the exception of a mandatory Monday morning meeting. Monday afternoons through Friday you get to choose when you see your clients, when you visit your partners. You don't have to sacrifice time and work a ton of hours to do the job. 3. Money. I'll say it again. When you win, you are winning. The compensation structure at Paychex is gold. They nailed it on the head with bonuses and percentages because it doesn't take much to easily hit over $100k annually. 4. Training. You are so well trained on all of the products and services it's ridiculous. I came in not knowing a thing about accounting, payroll, taxes, nothing. I am now able to speak intelligently about it to my peers and it feels so good to know what the hell you're talking about. 5. Management. I can't say enough good things about my managers. Because they were in the same job I was in at some point, they get it. They don't micromanage you and over step boundaries. They truly feel like your friend and genuinely want you to succeed in the job.

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.
