Pros

A trip to Rochester for two weeks and the knowledge you gain for future jobs. Great benefits, PTO, holiday, and vacation are good if you are able to use it.

Cons

Horrible management on all levels. Glorified data entry specialists with some tax knowledge. Constantly discriminated against by management. Horrible morale within the company, mainly due to management positions. And when they say you can grow, they dangle a new open position in front of you then quickly say it's not available, due to cuts.

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.
