Pros

Organizing multi-faceted processes, like new hire onboarding, are now simple tasks for me with this tool. It helps me easily track and execute tasks.

Cons

Some of the add-on features did not meet my expectations. For instance, the performance management add-on had a rigid interface that only allowed feedback to be sent to the employee's manager, which was limiting.

A few features could be more user-friendly for inputting our data. Since we manage a church, we have some unique payroll requirements that are manageable but not as easy as they could be.

Pros

I always pay close attention to my customers' needs and I love how the software helps me in that matter as it comes with fantastic features. It helps me find support documents for nearly everything I need to know. The electronic signatures for HR documents are very handy. The recruitment module works well and the onboarding process is much smoother without the need to print and handwrite each form.

Cons

I found limitations in integrating custom fields and tables into onboard filters such as onboarding, training, presentations and benefits. BambooHR seems to require integration with other accounting services.
