Pros

Job-security. I've seen it go both ways. In some cases, you REALLY have to screw up to be let go. I always felt respected by my manager and co-workers. Work/life balance is very good.

Cons

Coworker Competence. There is none, really. There are the select few that i enjoy working with who work just as hard as me.. but in reality there is too much to do and no one is getting paid enough to do it, so basically no one wants to do anything!

Pros

Paychex hires great people who are great to work with. Medical is still 100%, not a 90/10 or 80/20 plan. Good training programs for most positions. Decent amount of vacation/sick/float days usable in year one.

Cons

No cost of living adjustments. Very low merit raises. Revolving door due to the fact that people can't afford to work at Paychex and live in the Seattle area. Always short staffed and over loaded. People are promoted, but end up doing both their old and new positions work because new people can't be kept on long enough to take the workload from the old position. Those that don't leave because of money leave because of stress and no appreciation.
