Pros

Paychex is family oriented and has a very flexible work schedule. They also have a very good benefits package, but they revoked the 401k match in 2010.

Cons

The client support at Paychex leaves a lot to be desired. As a sales rep I got to the point where I couldn't in good conscience sell certain systems or services because I knew they wouldn't work and the client would call me to complain. I was tired of fielding customer complaints. I felt bad for them and it was really hard to get back end support to resolve issues. The other major problem I has was the paperwork. It was not only hours of work for the rep once a deal was signed, but they make it very hard for the customer to get through the set-up process and go live. I had a number of new clients sign the contract but never go live on the service because the process was too laborious.

Pros

Nothing is good about working here.

Cons

Nobody is ever held accountable. Pay is awful. Benefits were all moved out of state, so all providers in the area are all out of network. Jobs are being moved to India. The list goes on. Sales is the absolute favorite department in the entire company. Nothing sales can do is ever wrong, even when they give false information to clients and then the support team has to deal with the fallback. Don't get me started on Payroll.... the entire department has gone to the wind. I honestly don't know how this company ever did good with payroll services. The #1 complaint i got from every single client I interacted with was they could never get ahold of their Payroll Specialist. The company's response to this was to start making other departments learn payroll duties. This year they moved insurance benefits to a plan out of Arkansas, which made every provider I was already seeing become out of network. I had my first major medical scare of my adulthood and ended up paying a few grand out of pocket because U of R was out of network. Promotions are non existent. They make you apply and interview for any role you want to move into. There is nothing good about working here, and i would advise anyone to stay away from them.
