“Paychex Flex not a company for me”
Pros
When calling the phone is immediately picked up, however getting a US Representative is impossible.
Cons
Getting the help you needed is like requesting a US Representative. Very polite, courteous, however its like throwing a stone at a brick house you know it will not end well.

“Trustworthy & simple but lacks efficiency”
Pros
It makes managing payroll so easy. The mobile app is simple to use once you set it up. managing pay stubs, W-2s and PTO is simple and it has self-service tools for employees and automatic payroll tax compliance.
Cons
some of the downsides are that some features cost extra, the reports can be tricky to figure out and customer support isn't always consistent. Overall it works well but it can feel outdated at times.

“a fantastic tool to use”
Pros
It's simple to get started and there are so many options for our employees. It's a great place to store all of our employee forms, too.
Cons
Like with any system, there are flaws but honestly I haven't really had any issues so I can't say what I dislike the most.
