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!!!

Fail the Test and You are FIRED!!!

When you accept a job at Paychex, here is a little tidbit they don't share with you.  

At the end of your training class, you are given a comprehensive test.  If you fail the test, you are fired!  That's right!  Your job offer is contingent on your passing the test!  If you don't, well, bye bye!!! 

Can you retake the test?  No!
Can you retake the training and try again?  No!  


This might be OK with you if you are fresh out of college and looking for your first "real job".  But imagine the poor schmuck who is seduced by the Paychex song and dance, quits a good job to work for Paychex, and then fails the test!  

Just one more example of the horrible policies that defines Paychex.
