Pros
Paychex goes above and beyond to keep in touch with their employees and foster a culture that is inclusive, diverse, and committed to personal growth and development. I come to work and I'm surrounded by some of the most amazing, talented people I've ever met. I can't say enough about how much I love it here. I'm #PaychexProud
Cons
I haven't come across any yet. There are rough days, or weeks, like anywhere else. But the people here are great about buckling down and getting it done, and then celebrating the success!

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Paychex full-time for more than 10 years
Pros
Great company to work for. The benefits are fabulous and the opportunity to advance is great. Contrary to what a few disgruntled ex employees have to say there is no favoritism from management, you simply have to be willing to work for your commission as is the situation with any sales job. The Baton Rouge sales office will set you up for success provided you are willing to learn, work hard and absorb the training you are provided. With that being said Paychex is a choice you won't regret.
Cons
There are absolutely zero cons

Pros
This company is so great. I had to leave a second review with a 5 star. It changed my life financially and emotionally for the better. They have programs to help their employees through tough times. You can make very good money if you put in the time. Also, during this COVID-19 they're actually doing alot for their employees. I told my manager I was exhausted because I work very hard...he gave me time off and was happy to do it. I can go on and on, but Paychex is the greatest company with fantastic technology. I don't care if a company offered my 7 times what I'm making now. I'm not leaving.
Cons
-Sometimes customer service isn't the best for clients. But you have to come in and make sure your clients are taking care of, its annoying but you get referrals from it.

Pros
Paychex is one of the best companies to sell for a reason.. 1. Unlimited PTO 2. Great Culture 3. Great managers that want to make you better for the future
Cons
None. Anybody reading this should know that the negative reviews are from people who didn't do well in their position. Moral of the story is if you put the time in you can make a lot of money, but it your choice to control the destiny that awaits in front of you
