Pros

Not many nowadays. Previously a flexible environment that allowed you to run your own business in the ways that work best for you.

Cons

Counterproductive micromanagement is out of control. Small market minded senior leadership has no idea what they’re doing and they are ounce again driving the best reps away. Expect to heavy turnover over the next year, because the field is very unhappy. Pay is far below competition, Just terminated 401k match, and everything is a cheap bandaid solution, with no real investment into sales team and overall product line.

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.
