Pros

Paychex is family oriented and has a very flexible work schedule. They also have a very good benefits package, but they revoked the 401k match in 2010.

Cons

The client support at Paychex leaves a lot to be desired. As a sales rep I got to the point where I couldn't in good conscience sell certain systems or services because I knew they wouldn't work and the client would call me to complain. I was tired of fielding customer complaints. I felt bad for them and it was really hard to get back end support to resolve issues. The other major problem I has was the paperwork. It was not only hours of work for the rep once a deal was signed, but they make it very hard for the customer to get through the set-up process and go live. I had a number of new clients sign the contract but never go live on the service because the process was too laborious.

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.
