Pretty good HR software for employee data and hiring

Comments: Used as a solution to a non existent HR management. Migrated employee information from paper.

Pros:

Easy and simple to use. Great way of organizing employee data. Great hiring and onboarding features.

Cons:

Not a very flexible software. You have to do things the way it is set up and there can be times where the software makes you do tasks a particular way that isn't the best

Alternatives Considered: Breezy and Rippling

Reasons for Switching to BambooHR: Best value. They had the best pricing and we just needed a simple solution.

Good product

Comments: Like the product for starting companies, but as your processes and strategy become more detailed, I am not sure if Bamboohr can manage properly as a stand-alone platform. Like the HRIS, the rest of the features are not robust

Pros:

Love the simplicity of the HRIS system to allow for tracking personnel

Cons:

The payroll system and time management are not as robust as it needs to be. Unlike optional features such as performance or applicant tracking that are not critical to risk management, the payroll and time management must be up to par to ensure customers are compliant with state regulations, able to identify and correct discrepancies quickly, and able to customize reporting to identify labor cost trends. Unfortunately, the payroll and time tracking doesn't relate.1 Example: We cannot track if meals are being taken or the system does not alert us when someone does not take their required lunch breaks. Depending on state, there are penalties associated with this2 Example: If an employee is scheduled to be terminated on a specific day, they are automatically taken out of the system before ensuring they were paid their last check. States have many different regulations around when a former employee must be paid their final check. We would have to alter the person's last day and final pay date in order to process their last check, which can cause incorrect records if we forget to switch the dates back to correct separation date. If we schedule termination ahead of time, we have no way of tracking who is up for termination soon or no notice that the person was removed from payroll ensuring timely payment. 3 Example: Timetracking is more than just about having the ability to clock in and out with approval. There is very limited reporting that can be pulled to track labor cost

Easy to use, Great Employee Engagement

Pros:

Easy to use for my employees. Smart phone compatibility is perfect. PTO requests are quick and manager approval helps.

Cons:

Login is a pain with the dual authentication when your in a hurry. Reports are good but can take some time to figure out.

Best purchase EVER

Comments: Best HR platform I have used so far. The training and resources available are excellent and most anybody can utilize it with little to no training.

Pros:

It is very streamlined, and you can customize it to be very personal based on your needs.

Cons:

Adjusting time sheets can be difficult if they forgot to clock out.

Alternatives Considered: Gusto and Workday Payroll and Workforce Management

Reasons for Switching to BambooHR: Cost and feature and the customer support and the salespeople weren't pushy.
