Pros

The people you work with are always helpful, even within other departments, there are many resources and knowledge related links and articles. They also have groups and teams that you can join to find other who are interested in the same things.

Cons

Overworked, under paid and treated poorly. They expect you to be able to handle the work of 10 without extra incentives. They dont give raises solely based on merit, across the board the maximum raise you can get is 3%. So if you went above and beyond the previous year you will only get a maximum of 3% raise, which could be the same as someone who did the bare minimum. And they string you up with the promise of a bonus, if the fiscal year went well and you did well you will get a bonus after your annual review. And the way they make it seem like its going to be the cherry on top, but it is not even close. They have you set goals to try to move up the corporate ladder but between the work load, it is almost unattainable. You have to be a robot to make achieve them.

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.
