I've had good ones and bad ones. Just depends on the customer service rep you get when an error arises.

Pros

I enjoyed how paycor worked, looked and ran last year. Once the updates started it changed the entire feel of paycor and it is not as user friendly as it was prior.

Cons

The new look with the changes such as time cards hate it. Tiemcards should be easily accessible in each e ployees profile and with the change its not.
The errors that should have been an automatic fix not a manual one.

Response from Paycor

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your positive experience with Paycor in the past and apologize for any difficulties you have encountered with the recent updates. We understand your concerns regarding the changes to the time cards and accessibility within employee profiles. We will take your feedback into consideration as we continue to improve the user-friendliness of our platform. We also apologize for any inconsistencies in customer service and will work to ensure a consistently positive experience for all users.

It’s been positive and enjoyable. When we’ve had concerns or challenges, they’ve been quick to respond and address them. They worked with us to pilot a snowflake connection for our system data to flow to our PowerBI system.

Pros

Ease of use to program and manage. The structure of the system is predictable and simple to navigate

Cons

Inconsistencies in our implementation. We have multiple IDs in various states. We discovered differences in settings which should have been the same across the IDs.

Advance notice of changes before they are released will also be helpful. Several times we’ve been surprised to find changes without knowing it was happening.
