Pros

Absolutely none at all whatsoever

Cons

Favoritism. Racist, sexist leaders. You are coached to be dishonest. Cheaters are rewarded. Upper management won’t handle any issues at all if it’s not about sales. Even when complaining about one of the three managers I’ve had in a year to HR about a racist comment made, nothing was done. It’s a terrible company to work for. I come from a background of leadership so I know what simple fairness and consistency looks like. The environment is so toxic I wouldn’t wish this place on my worst enemy.

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

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.
