It was stressful more often than some jobs, but I had the best people to work with, and to me that was worth it. - Anonymous employee Paychex Employee Review

Pros

The people, the people, the people! I can't say enough about how wonderful management is, how willing and ready people are to support you as a team member, and how great a lot of the clients are to work with. The benefits are fantastic.

Cons

The pay wasn't as much as I would have liked for the level of work and stress involved. Growth potential was a little lacking.

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.
