Pros

The best reasons to work at Paychex are the opportunity for advancement and the job stability. Paychex has never had lay offs, and unless you are an idiot, you cannot get fired. It's a great company that does very well, you know they won't be closing their doors anytime soon. People sometimes take Paychex for granted, and then things like this happen to the economy to make you appreciate your current employer. I have been there 10 years now, I went from making $24K to $100K+. I know many people that started as a receptionist or a temp and is now a branch manager or zone manager. Great place to start out of college.

Cons

Some of the downsides are the way promotions are handled. It's all politics, as I'm sure every office is. They need to pay their operations people more though.

Pros

Paychex is a very stable place to work and they have a great product sold and supported by people who really care about what they are doing. Salary could always be higher, but one needs to consider the local job market and general economy as well; given this salaries seem fair.

Cons

Vacation time policy is poor and quite inflexible. There is no consideration for flex/comp time unless excessive hours worked. Flexible work arrangements difficult except for those "grandfathered" in. Anyone working less that 50 hours/wk considered a slacker by those that do. Lots of rules are followed for the sole reason that "it's policy". Many are satisfied with the "status quo" and are not interested in improvement.
