Pros

Stability defines Paychex in Rochester. It's a solid place that never lays people off and most have to work at getting fired. There are always annual raises (albeit small) and benefits are VERY good to good.

Cons

Compensation for a position is a joke - and that fact is acknowledged. People are way underpaid for the "privileged" of working at a stable company. It is really a fundamental of the universal risk/reward model. In IT specifically - there is very little real understanding of the technology - and things are slow to change.

Pros

Decent benefits and somewhat stable work environment.

Cons

Pay well below industry standard. Incompentent managers. Useless training. Outdated software. I had to hear stories from my immediate supervisor about how she crapped her pants and urinated in a cooler in her car in the company parking lot rather than come back inside.

Pros

We have lots of fun. Dress up days, homemade boat races, pot lucks, etc. The employees there are a really nice bunch of people to work for. They really are. Denver has beautiful weather. It is a great place to work. The team really works hard together to reach our goals. They offer the sales reps a chance to go to Conference, Circle and Ice each year. The location is located in Hawaii and the Bahamas. They are off to the Bahamas this year.

Cons

It's far away from everything, near the airport. No chance for overtime. No where to go up, unless I want to be in sales. I think the support team should be aloud to go to Conference as well. The DSM goes if the team is over quota but the FSS does not.
