It's more user friendly than ADP.

What do you like best? I love we have our own HR Resource Professional to turn to when we have questions. We got a great one and she has been great in meeting all our needs/wants. I love the fact I always get to talk to someone quickly when I call Paychex and don't have to wait for hours. What do you dislike? I don't really like their 401K service, because we haven't had great results in having it explained to us and the people assigned to us weren't great. Recommendations to ...

Paychex Flex is super easy to use!

What do you like best? Paychex Flex is all inclusive, easy for me and my employees to access information. Processing payroll is a snap, making changes, pulling reports, could not be simpler. I love how convenient it is, the layout of the windows and the expanded help menus. What do you dislike? The only real criticism I have is that sometimes, the system can be slow to save checks when I am making changes while processing payroll. For instance, when I am ready to move the next ...
