That it made my job easier working payroll for my company, it still does now that I moved to HR, but everything is just great, a great experience because they do my job secure, effective and accurate. Even if they are mistakes, we can fix them and they assist what comes later, after processing Payroll and beyond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive Payroll Solution with Simple Setup"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Paychex?

I like having one place to go for all the information that I need, especially for tax season or understanding benefit packages. It's helpful not just for me, but for other users too, to have everything done in one place. The initial setup was smooth and simple, making it easy to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paychex?

I feel like we don't utilize everything Paychex has to offer because we don't really know what we don't know. I think we could use more guidance on how to best use the platform from an overall customer success perspective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Trustworthy Capabilities, but Support and Rising Costs Fell Short"
2/5
What do you like best about Paychex?

Paychex had the capabilities to handle everything we needed. Overall, the name feels trustworthy and reputable, and our staff didn’t have any complaints when we used them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paychex?

I found customer service was my main complaint. I was not able to get the level of support I needed as a small business. Our pricing also continued to increase, and I didn't feel that the value we got out of it was any better than what I could find elsewhere, with better customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can do the payroll at my leisure after work at home or where ever I am. Great customer service too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paychex?

If I can't get ahold of my agent there is always someone in office that can also assist me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is only a few people that can help with specific problems, so you have to go though with the person who doesn't know what they are doing to get though to the person who does know what they are doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

3.5/5
What do you like best about Paychex?

I do like our rep at the moment, he is very helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paychex?

The paychex to Flock integration has turned out to be a little hard to navigate, it is not as automatic as it seems and when employees choose elections or have life events they are not logged and sent to our insurance company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All-in-One HR Platform That’s User-Friendly"
4/5
What do you like best about Paychex?

I like having everything in one place. Payroll, time clock, onboarding, safety videos, benefits, and 401 (k). It's user-friendly and offers many training videos/support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paychex?

They are very disconnected, especially from Flex to the PEO. Support is hit or miss. You can get someone great or terrible. It's time-consuming to get the help that you need. Billing is messy and not transparent. Making you feel like they are trying to hide charges. The training program needs more work. The platform can be confusing when linking it to the onboarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
