Pros

- Good insurance/retirement benefits - High amounts of time off granted as time goes on within the company - Remote work options

Cons

- Low pay compared to the rest of the industry - Overworked, client lists for most HRG's are well over "average" client count - Pressure from management to maintain metrics, yet limit the amount of overtime that can be taken. - Given high work loads, it's difficult to take time off without falling behind

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.
