Pros

Average benefits, rah rah culture when you start, fades extremely quickly. Lots of tenure with senior management, sales is a turnover machine

Cons

Horrific management, terrible treatment of existing clients, no communication between silos, cult like behavior with senior management. No real income potential, I was completely lied to about year one OTE. Base salary is poverty level and that’s all you will make unless you come from within the industry. Micromanagement is the worst I’ve ever seen. Consistently asked to use scare tactics on existing clients to try and frighten them into an ancillary service they don’t need. Their sales force turns over every 6 months, they don’t value people at all. DON’T get duped and leave a legit career for this company!!!

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.
