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 Overall it works well but it can feel outdated at times.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.

easy to use but could be cheaper for small biz

Pros

The ease of use is awesome. anyone can figure it out on their own. Plus, I love the features available in the app.

Cons

Cost feels high for a small business, especially for what you get. I'd love to see a more affordable plan for businesses with less than 15 people.
