But if you're anything more than that, you'll probably begin to find the work lackluster and boring, as your role is generally so compartmentalized that any attempt to handle more scope and context is seen as a threat to your co-workers, and as a distraction by your managers.
You'll probably begin to feel like you are being held back and your skills are being squandered, as you're generally trusted with the same level of responsibility as a grade-schooler, which is evident by the rules and restrictions around the use of your local machine, the processes, procedures, and required approvals for requesting additional resources, and the counter-productive culture at Paychex that inhibits smart individuals from utilizing their best judgement when making decisions.
Furthermore, the constant revolving door of talented software developers will likely discourage you from wanting to stay for very long anyway. As soon as you're able to get to know your talented colleagues in the different parts of the organization, they'll likely move onto other bigger and better things (along with more appropriate compensation). Every once and a while, you'll come into contact with a few incredibly bright folks that have stayed behind.
The title of this review sort of embodies the irony that underpins most of the development culture at Paychex: you will be entrusted with access to the systems that pays millions of Americans every day and process billions of dollars in transactions, but because they can't trust some high school dropout making minimum wage with responsible internet usage, you can't be trusted either.
If you're the type of developer that is hungry for knowledge, responsibility, and rewarding work, Paychex is not the place for you.
