Pros

Work-Life Balance is nice. Managers value your right to have time for your personal life. Unless you seek such jobs, work ends at 5/6pm and you don't need to worry about work until the next morning. No work to do from home or anything like that. Opportunities are abundant. With the size of the organization, there are opportunities to go where you desire. Even if you take a job you aren't thrilled with to get in with the company, most jobs ask for a 12-18 month commitment and then you can post for promotions and other opportunities. During your commitment, you are encouraged to explore and get familiar with other roles in the organization and are encouraged to also work on your own personal development. Steady employment. Despite economic troubles in our country the past many years, Paychex has still grown.

Cons

Pay is at market for entry level positions. Earning above market does not come until you have performed well or received promotions into other roles.

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.
