Pros

They somehow manage to hire really awesome people who inevitably hate their jobs just as much as you will! Makes for funny conversation and trauma bonding.

Cons

Worst pay of any competitor in the industry with people in India loading our clients US TAX INFORMATION. We don’t even utilize our own payroll platform internally, so that should be your clue that it’s not very good. As a payroll company, my final straw with Paychex was that they missed an ENTIRE commission cycle with no apology or accountability - a trend you’ll surely become familiar with any inconvenience at Paychex. So many directors and higher have left the company and gone to competitors; do yourself a favor and follow suit before starting.

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

Remote work and Flexible Time Off

Cons

Low pay. Minimal to no career growth. Constant leadership turnover. Conflicting priorities from the top with little strategic direction. Endless “do more with less” mentality and burnout. Mandatory culture and positivity “training” instead of fixing the problems creating poor culture. The company has become reactive, chaotic, and disconnected from the employees who keep it running. Current CEO drove down stock price and eradicated worker morale. Terrible leadership.
