Pros

PTO is great, that’s it.

Cons

Started working here about a year and a half ago, I was told this was hybrid, no micromanagement, for salaried employees we have unlimited PTO/sick time, and the culture/values are top tier. Unfortunately after about 1-2 months of being employed here, I found out everything above, that was also mentioned on my interview, was the total opposite and the nightmare just continued. Micromanagement began, I was limited on PTO (black out time started in dec to Feb - no pto allowed). I received zero training on my LOB, and or the duties for my job as a supervisor. I was then told I’m not going to receive training “we” don’t have that here to just do side by sides. They lied to just hire someone externally and get them in quickly. There is a-lot of cliques among supervisors and managers and If you aren’t in them you’re out! In short, I don’t recommend working here.

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.
