Worst HRIS experience

1.0 2 months ago New

Comments: The worst experience in an HRIS implementation. I have implemented workday, Ceridian Dayforce, UKG, Paycore, and Paycom.

Pros:

None, they lie to you during the sales process.

Cons:

Not good for performance management, and they claim to be the best HRIS solution.

Comments: BambooHR has been a great product for a quickly expanding.

Pros:

Design, user-friendly, easy of use, easy to set up.

Cons:

Would like file signature to work differently. It would be great if forms were available to all employees to just fill out and then it would move through the pre-set approval process. Not require a form to be emailed by a management member to someone or themselves to fill out. Would also like training to be more robust and have more function. Especially would like to see training assignments as of a specific date entered rather than hire date. Would also like employees not to see future trainings until 30 days before the due date. Seeing annual training all year is confusing to them and they get desensitized to seeing that training and ignore it when it comes due again.

Solution for HR people data storage and multi-access level people management

5.0 2 weeks ago New

Comments: LOVE the customer service. The reps are easy to work with, willing to troubleshoot and very helpful.

Pros:

Houses all Employee HR info in one easy to locate place. It also has variable access levels to allow trainers, supervisors, managers and IT support all different access levels.

Cons:

We had to custom build a place to keep employee notes. It works well enough for us and is functional, but I am not sure why the software doesn't have that feature included. It is basically just a historical table with a few fields and a notes section. I hope that it doesn't keep getting too ala carte for every new improvement they make, sometimes it feels like companies are adding feature after feature to run up the price and make more money off of existing loyal customers.
