      Pros

      There are truly good people at Paychex.

      Cons

      The company's initiative is to provide culture shaping to the whole company was my down fall. They force this on you and you have no choice. These culture shaping exercises are very uncomfortable. Turn to the person next to you and tell them how you appreciate them, I don't know you, how do you appreciate a person you don't know? Most of my peers felt uncomfortable. Does Paychex not see how uncomfortable it makes people? If you did not participate a meeting was scheduled to discuss why you were not "here and now". Definitely not the Paychex Values.

      Thank you very much for your review. Our company culture is very important to us and we appreciate your insight into the culture shaping initiative. We definitely don't want to put any of our employees in uncomfortable situations. Sorry to hear that we were not the right company for you. Good luck in your career.

      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.

      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.
