Overall Satisfaction with Paycor
We use Paycor for payroll, timetracking, as well as onboarding and recruiting of candidates. These modules allow us to streamline critical processes at the organization and build a process that will survive transitions in the team. By digitizing the process and layering a simple to use UX, both new and experienced employees can successfully complete the work with moderate levels of training.
Pros
- Great user UX
- Simple to use from a user perspective once a system is setup
- Robust approvals and control systems
Cons
- The backend implementation is extremely complex and requires too much trial and error
- The implementation team is stretched thin and when onboarding new customers, they fall behind
- Their hours of operations need to be longer to cover an earlier start and later start. Also, in my experience, their support representatives are not well trained nor do they understand the product well.
- reduced candidate day outstanding and we can recruit faster
- Reduced time spent on payroll activities
- HR having more free time per day
The sales team was much better in terms of handling our needs, the products were overall better, and they have an extremely competitive price. We thought that Paycor was the best fit even though they were not the cheapest due to our needs and how they addressed them. It was a tossup between Paylocity and Paycor.
