Why This Blog???

Eye On Paychex is NOT attempting in any way to damage the business of Paychex. In fact, most customers I speak with have many good things to say about the company and its services.

The purpose of this blog is to shine a spotlight on "Employee Experience" of working for Paychex. 

You see, Paychex makes a LOT of noise about how they are ranked by Forbes magazine as one of the Top 100 Best Companies to Work For. But the truth is not quite so rosy. 

I am convinced that many good people have accepted or are seeking employment with Paychex becasue they are certain that this is a "Great Place to Work". This is blatently untrue and is unfair to the current and future employees of the company.

So, through this blog, we will explore what it is REALLY like to work at Paychex. We will look at the good (the training is excellent) and the bad (absurd policies). 

All readers are encouraged to participate by posting, or, if you prefer, email your comments to me at eyeonpaychex@gmail.comand I will post them for you. 

ALL POSTINGS WILL BE ANONYMOUS!!!

Paychex Article in the Democrat & Chronicle

Paychex CEO Jon Judge was recently interviewed in the D&C. You can read the article HERE.

Perhaps more interesting than the article itself are some of the comments posted on the D&C Message Board. Here are few for your consideration (my comments in red):

From what I've heard, you actually work for paychex. You aslo made some not so flattering comments about Mr. Golisano a couple of days ago....people at paychex have been made aware of those commnets,... Well, kids, this is typical. Post your honest opinion, and risk retaliation.

paychex just last year lost a class action lawsuit brought by ex employees and had to pay for overtime. Retro for several years. Ethical? Yeah right! This is news to me! If Mr. Squirrel or anyone else has any details on this, please send it along to me!!!

if you don't like what you are making at paychex why don't you leave? No one is forcing you to stay there. there are thousands of people who want to work at paychex. I don't work at paychex. Where... Yes, yes. The typical "Love it or Leave it" position. Where would this country be if we all took that attitude? How about "Expose the truth and work to improve the situation"? Isn't that a better position to support???

paychex has been screwing its workforce for ages. The D & C has been giving this company free leverage for years. The HR Dept is incompetently run, and they pay call center people below McDonalds ...

"Expose the truth and work to improve the situation"? Doesn't mean just posting whatever pisses you off. It means becoming educated, working your way up from the inside, communicating, and providing solid ideas to change it. You raise some good points/concerns/opinions, but do you think that posting here like this is really going to "improve the situation?"
