Overall Satisfaction with Heartland Payroll+

I used Heartland Payroll+ for both payroll processing and credit card processing. I terminated my CC processing with them due to their costs, customer service, and what I felt were constant new reps. In my experience, it was hard to remember who was handling my account. With payroll, I only stay with them because of the hassle of starting with a new company, but I really wish I had the time because their customer service, in my opinion, is one of the most horrendous in the industry. They implemented a new sign-on procedure and I followed the directions exactly. It Locked me out, and in my experience, no one was available to help me. There was no live chat, no phone number to call, nothing. I'm an MCSE and can navigate this migration, but to not have tech support available immediately during a transition I feel is absolutely ridiculous. This bar is a hobby and I use ADP in my other job and like them so much better. My time is valuable but Heartland Payroll+ doesn't seem to care [to me]. [I] wouldn't complain but this is not [my] first time having issues. They don't file the 941's in [what I feel is] a timely matter which then falls on me to investigate and again I have to search my emails because they changed my rep again. [I feel like it] must be a terrible company to work for. Communication in today's business world is the most important key and in this, it's like talking to a brick wall.
  • Cheap payroll processing but [in my opinion] you get what you pay for
  • [In my experience] great ability to frustrate their customers
  • Geat for the economy because [I feel] they hire so many different people and [in my experience] they don't hang around [so] you don't know who your rep is
  • Communication
  • Employee retention
  • Proper tax filings and timely
  • Customer respect
  • Payroll
  • Ease of use if it was possible
  • [In my experience] not one bit. Just frustrates me for 13 years.
