"I’ve been with Paychex for over 4 years and while they are a great company to work for, I have done all I can do in my position. They are not hiring new managers or allowing people to move up because they are comfortable with the people they have so I am looking for something else where I can move up in a new company and show them what I can do."
"Many things I would change but also many positives to it too."
