Pros

Retention bonuses, tuition reimbursement, healthcare

Cons

Paychex only pays minimum wage in Denver and refused to increase salaries so a large amount of us have recently walked off the job. Payroll specialists are required to manage up to 300 accounts and the management is almost non-existent. My supervisor wasn't even based out of Denver so I never actually met the person I was reporting to in person. It is a very divisive, unwelcoming and impersonal office culture, so as someone else said: get in and get out.

Pros

People and the overall environment is a positive one. If you do your part, definite long term career potential. It’s not easy- but stable, growing. Worth serious consideration for early career looking for sales experience with a great training program. Also good for mid-career consideration if base salary isn’t the primary reason you are in sales.

Cons

Very fast pace that doesn’t suit everyone. If you are looking for easy or just a job to “hang out”, this probably isn’t the right spot for you.

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.
