Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

Male dominated company run by "old school" managers who don't know the definition of forward thinking and treat their employees like crap. Their technology is outdated, compensation is low compared to the rest of the industry and the entire organization is so sheltered they refuse to acknowledge their own weaknesses. How can a payroll company not offer their employees the ability to make direct deposit changes online? Faxing in a form? You have got to be kidding me. Annual "Reward trips" are in San Antonio or the same resort in the Bahamas year after year. You don't get to take a spouse, have to share a room with someone, and actually have to attend meetings while you're there. Isn't the point of these trips to celebrate and acknowledge super star performances and reward people? Spend the money to make these lavish and quit trying to save on taxes by making people work while they are there. Take a page out of ADP's book - I work there now and although I have not been to a Club yet myself, I have seen videos, pictures and heard stories and can't wait to experience it for myself.

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.
