Pros

*great place to learn the ropes of HCM *Good training *Decent technology

Cons

*Biggest thing is over the past 3 years they have moved away from focusing on their employees and people first. The culture is no longer a collaborative and positive setting. *Career growth is limited (discouraged internally from moving to different depts) *Base and commission are on lower end for industry *Disconnect between upper management and field level *For management there are pretty large discrepancies in quota assignment *No visioion for SMB division - might be different in other areas

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

Remote work and Flexible Time Off

Cons

Low pay. Minimal to no career growth. Constant leadership turnover. Conflicting priorities from the top with little strategic direction. Endless “do more with less” mentality and burnout. Mandatory culture and positivity “training” instead of fixing the problems creating poor culture. The company has become reactive, chaotic, and disconnected from the employees who keep it running. Current CEO drove down stock price and eradicated worker morale. Terrible leadership.
