      Ok

      Senior payroll specialist

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits.Seems like my job is secure which is important right now. Good training program.

      Cons

      Low pay compared to other payroll companies. No PTO time allowded around the holidays(in their defense, they do tell you this during the interview process but still..hopefully you don't have family that lives far away). To much expected for the money.

      For performers ONLY

      Senior sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Super environment for sales performers, well respected in the industry. Accountants, financial advisors and insurance agents all refer Paychex to their clients. High reward levels including trips and a six figure income. Ultimate job security if you are hitting your number, and the numbers are really reasonable.

      Cons

      Stressful for non-performers. If you can't look in the mirror, this isn't the place for you. This is a hunting environment, not a place where you can develop a territory, and take re-orders or residuals after a few years. Every sale is a new client.

      A breeding ground for misery

      software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      For the most part, there is decent job security. The benefits are OK, except when it comes to time off, they are very stingy. The pay was OK for me, but is still below industry standard.

      Cons

      The way they motivate their employees is by yelling at them, and watching them like hawks. The job is extremely demoralizing, and you will never feel good about anything you do. When I first started, they were comparing my abilities to people who had been there 1 year saying I was not doing a good job. When I was there for a year, they compared me to people who were there 5 years, same thing, telling me I wasn't doing a good job. Every review was absolutely negative, without a single positive ANYTHING. Overall, extremely negative atmosphere, I was nitpicked for coming in 5 minutes late, and taking a 15 minute break every so often when I was on SALARY. Awful work environment, it's like everyone there is miserable and wants you to be too.
