Pros
I like the ability to log in and do what I need to do when it pertains to employee payroll activities. I also love the features that are offered to the employees by allowing them to check and edit information when they need to.
Cons
It is a little pricey compared to some. I don't have many negative comments about the service, but it can be difficult to reach customer service after hours.

Overall it was a good experience and I used it when I was a new business owner. Since then I've found other solutions to be much cheaper and still offer the same benefits as paychex. If you like having someone help you and plenty of support, paychex is a great place. However, if you are on a tight budget and need something that will be just as good to get the job done, I suggest something less expensive.
Pros
The setup was super easy and simple. My rep was informative and helpful as well. The software works great and makes payroll easy once you learn how to properly use it.
Cons
The software takes a little longer to learn to use than others I've used. The price was a big factor because I am a small business.

Overall Paychex is a great software to have for recording time and the direct deposit feature, user friendly and easy to navigate.
Pros
My favorite thing about Paychex is the user-friendly home screen. It is easy to navigate both in-app and on the web browser. Finding and recording your time in and out is easy and finding paychecks and any HR-related information.
Cons
It has its moments where it doesn't function properly or the time in and out doesn't record or work. The site has been down at times and the 2 step verification process is finicky at times.
