Aligned Multi-Company Payroll

Pros

we have about 1,400 employees spread across a few different companies so payroll could be a nightmare. But since we connected it to our ERP payroll module it saves us so much time. The best part is that my employees can just log into their own portal to grab their pay history or year-end tax forms whenever they need them. It saves my admin team from having to stop what they are doing to dig up those documents for everyone.

Cons

Getting everything set up for my specific company took a while. I also ran into trouble because I had to dig up a bunch of old historical info that I just didn't have sitting around.

User-friendly with reliable support

Pros

Well it is very user friendly. I also love that support is always there when I need it and the option for remote support is a lifesaver.

Cons

sometimes I just can't figure out how to pull a specific report which is frustrating. And honestly every now and then I'll submit a support ticket and it takes forever to get a real answer.

outstanding customer care

Pros

what I like most about this tool? Honestly it's their customer service. It's impressive. Every time I talk to them, the reps are super professional and patient. They don't make you feel dumb for asking questions.

Cons

Okay so my least favorite thing? The price. Its like it goes up every single year. For a small business like mine it's getting really hard to afford.
