      Pros

      Paychex hires great people who are great to work with. Medical is still 100%, not a 90/10 or 80/20 plan. Good training programs for most positions. Decent amount of vacation/sick/float days usable in year one.

      Cons

      No cost of living adjustments. Very low merit raises. Revolving door due to the fact that people can't afford to work at Paychex and live in the Seattle area. Always short staffed and over loaded. People are promoted, but end up doing both their old and new positions work because new people can't be kept on long enough to take the workload from the old position. Those that don't leave because of money leave because of stress and no appreciation.

      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.
