Overall Satisfaction with BambooHR®

I use Bamboo as a holding place for all things HR as well as time tracking of employees. We previously used multiple programs and this combines it into an easy, friendly program to manage Human Resources.

It also allows me to go paperless for most things and if it does require a hard copy I can save and post to the employees file.

Pros

  • Personal information for employees at a quick glance
  • A place to keep all documents together for the employee
  • The time tracking is nice to have included in this package
  • A good place to keep notes on employees

Cons

  • Time off balances - it would be nice to see something at a glance when you pull up an employees time off. You have to select the different categories to see what they have used rather than an overall glance of what they have used versus what they have left.
  • Time entry reports - it would be nice to see what type of PTO the person used rather than the generic PTO. Show the actual type of PTO they used on this report so that you don't have to pull multiple reports.
  • Onboarding can be a little fuzzy sometimes getting that all to work properly.
  • I am not sure that it has been a major time saver for us. We are small and don't have many employees. It is nice to have the information all in one place.
  • We are actually paying more to have this program but we have combined a few programs so that everything is all together. It saves time going from one program to another to look up information.
I give it a high rating. There would be some things I would like to have be a little better, time off for instance. A splash page that shows where each employee is at with their time off. I would also like to understand the recruiting part better as I cannot figure out how to get applicants we hire off the list.
Support has been good when I have used it. They emailed an answer back and for the most part answered my questions.
None. We used our own self made folders and spreadsheets prior to Bamboo.
