Pros

Unlimited PTO, can work remotely, kind of flexible schedule, good pay if you hit your numbers

Cons

Micromanaging to the t. People are treated like numbers, and if you don't hit your monthly targets, you are treated badly. My manager was the worst and gave everyone on the team anxiety. The team was also not very diverse with only 2 Black Sales Reps out of 30 and maybe 2 Asian Sales Reps. You could have a good work life balance with this role if the managers had boundaries. The manager would call and text at 8 PM-10 PM, and more likely than not, work would bleed over to when you got home. If your sanity is a priority, and you actually want a work life balance, stay away.

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.
