Pros

Support from team and direct supervisor, good health insurance and remote work.

Cons

Extremely high client book. Overtime freeze. Unrealistic/arbitrary goals and pressure to be the quarterback for clients products/services. Using PTO negatively impacts yearend review results should you slightly miss a KPI. Constantly changing processes and expectations. Lack of value shown from the top for the critical positive impact we make on our clients.

Pros

Paychex is a great company to work for. I’ve held multiple roles over 20+ years. There are always ups and downs, but for every position, manager, decision I disagree with, there are ten others that are outstanding.

Cons

It’s a large company with many opportunities to grow, but smaller companies may offer higher compensation.

Pros

Remote work is a plus. Collaboration from peers is more plus than minus. Documentation of business technology was great for the most part.

Cons

Worse holiday observance company I ever worked for. Pay is low for what is asked. Work/life balance was good until 2025. Mid-level leadership and above is not ideal. I had little guidance when I started so, especially from manager so had to figure things out with help of peers.
