About GoCo
GoCo is an online human resources, benefits and payroll management system designed to help SMBs streamline their critical business operations. As well as providing solutions to simplify HR, benefits, compliance and payroll processes, GoCo also offers users personal support and advice from local benefits and payroll experts.
GoCo aims to simplify HR management by providing users with the tools to automate hiring, customize onboarding and generate reports. All employee and contractor information is easily accessible, organized and stored securely and conveniently in one place. This HR data is synced with payroll and benefit carriers, automatically updating any changes to all systems. To further increase HR efficiency, GoCo incorporates an employee self-servicing functionality. Team members can request personal, sick or vacation time-off as well as change payment or benefits information. GoCo integrates with Slack, enabling teams to communicate instantly and receive notifications about birthdays, holidays and colleagues on leave. With GoCo, users can generate customized reports in order to better understand changing headcount, team compensation and benefit costs.
Further to HR capabilities, GoCo assists users with benefits and payroll processes. GoCo supports all major insurance carriers, includes expert benefit support and allows users to compare benefit plans and enroll online. Users can implement their existing benefits as well as receive support in discovering new and better plans. GoCo simplifies payroll by connecting with all leading payroll providers, syncing newly hired employees, automatically removing terminated employees and automating the process of calculating benefit deductions. GoCo also offers a compliance management solution for tax, employment, benefits and PTO by digitally storing, organizing and verifying the compliance of tax forms and employment agreements. Most importantly, GoCo stores all data securely using bank-level encryption, security audits and professional security staff.

We currently meet with our GoCo representative once a month to 'check-in', and have done so since we switched to GoCo years ago. This says ALOT! They want feedback on the good, the bad, and the challenging, and they ALWAYS act on it. If I have a question that I send to our representative, I have no doubt that I will get a response within an hour. I've said this before, and I'll say it again, it's so nice to work with company that aligns with our core values. They are definitely a great team that Gives Customers What They Want and Builds Something Special every step of the way!
Pros
I use GoCo mainly when I need to update our Team Members' profile to make them eligible for benefits within our Company. GoCo makes offering our Team Members benefits and enrolling them into our plans so much easier! During open enrollment, not only am I sending our eligible Team Members emails to remind them to enroll in our benefits, but GoCo is also sending them multiple emails so they don't miss their opportunity to take advantage of their potential benefits. It's so refreshing to get rid of all the paperwork and complete everything electronically flawlessly.
Cons
Our company structure is set up a little differently than most. We have multiple companies under one umbrella company. This makes it a tad bit challenging for GoCo to be able to structure the profile setup, necessary documents, and permissions, but they have turned this into an opportunity to make updates and create additional features.

Disappointing. Should have stuck with Zenefits.

I'm optimistic that Goco will continue adding improvements and additional staff until their product is as strong as Zenefits. I'd just hold off signing up until that happens.
Pros
Goco promised a lot - everything Zenefits offered (since it was founded by former staff of theirs) - plus MORE! Unfortunately, in my opinion they haven't delivered. The pros are that this is basically a free software if you don't add any bells and whistles, and it is WAYbetter than managing an HR system on paper or with spreadsheets. The onboarding process is great on the new employee side. The staff have welcomed my feedback when I give it, which I appreciate.
Cons
As soon as we switched to Goco, we entered a nightmare. We were charged for things the sales rep said we wouldn't be (the company executives sent a very nice apology about that misunderstanding), the functionality did not live up to its promises and has lots of annoying little UI issues, and it is like pulling teeth to get a response from my account rep (I received a separate apology directly from the exec about that). From my perspective, Goco is suffering new-startup syndrome where they overloaded their staff and make promises they can't possibly deliver. I do believe that my Customer Service rep and all the staff are genuinely trying their best and that the company has simply bitten off more than they can chew.

As an HR department of one for a small company, GoCo has enabled us to find a tech solution that works for us and is affordable. It has helped greatly with transparent performance management, completion of necessary documents in a timely manner and has relieved a lot of the stress associated with open enrollment every year. The customer service is also wonderful. I have always received a prompt reply to my questions and my suggestions are taken seriously.
Pros
The software was easy to set up, it saves me a lot of time during open enrollment and helps to onboard employees in an organized and timely fashion.
Cons
I don't think the time clock feature beats other options on the market, however it is pretty new and they will likely expand and improve the feature as they have with other areas of functionality.
Response from GoCo

GoCo is simply the best HR related SaaS available

My overall experience has been nothing but exceptional. I really have no complaints whatsoever!
Pros
Everything. The implementation was a piece of cake with little to no work on our end. The open enrollment saved myself and my HR manager over a month of traveling to administer benefits across 4 states. The customer service is by far the best feature, as they're responsive even after hours and always willing to help!
Cons
The platform can be slow at times. Overall it's generally a non-issue but I have noticed that especially after hours that the whole website tends to get about 20% slower
