"I spent seventeen years at Paychex and received excellent training in payroll. As the company grew the ability of the individual to make a difference decreased dramatically and their goal for the payroll specialists was sameness. The use of call scripts and unnecessary forms as well as a poor software conversion led me to leave. They are a great company with excellent benefits but have lost the personal touch they had when I started."
