“App is great”
Pros
From the perspective of using it day to day, it feels genuinely simple for everyone and both the web and app versions are very simple.
Cons
The end-of-year taxes can get confusing sometimes especially around whether the system is tied to calendar dates or actual pay dates.

“effortless setup”
Pros
This is a really strong fit for a nonprofit. It removes a lot of the stress of scrambling to figure everything out or paying someone to handle it for you.
Cons
It's not quite as personal as handing out a check each month though our employees seem to prefer it this way.

“can be improved”
Pros
It works as an all-in-one software for payroll which is handy when you want to manage everything in one place.
Cons
The pricing model for paying per contractor didn't sit well with me and it made the costs feel a bit inconvenient compared to how I expected it to work.

“Onboarding made simple”
Pros
Using it, adding new employees to the payroll is simple. During setup, it shows a clear checklist of the steps/stages that need to be completed which keeps everything organized. Payroll can be automated and it also sends reminder prompts before each payroll run in case any tweaks are needed. Also, it provides state specific documentation requirements for each employee during onboarding so nothing gets missed.
Cons
Nothing major stood out as a real problem during my use.
