    Pros

    The scheduling usage is great. I like how it automatically fills in everyone shifts off the schedule.

    Cons

    Haven't found anything yet. Need to figure out how to get other stores involved using this app. Not many people know about the app.

    Branch helps me not be so stressed about paychecks!

    Overall very helpful for people who are living paycheck to paycheck and need access to their money sooner than they would get paid normally. Really love that they also send you a debit card so you can use them just like you would a bank. Super easy and makes my life a little less stressful.

    Pros

    I really love the fact that I can get my paycheck a few days earlier than normal if needed. There are some weeks where my bills just fall on the wrong days and getting my paycheck sooner helps me be able to pay them. Also having no overdraft fees is a pretty neat feature as well. My old bank would charge me $30 even if I overdrafted by just $1. Not being charged if I overdraft by a little bit is a lifesaver.

    Cons

    There is no login required every time I open it. Not the worst feature but having to remember to log out every time I use it so no one else can just open it up is a little bit of a hassle. All my other financial apps automatically log me out.

    It allows us to track employee's schedules per project they are working on and thus we can make changes to employee's schedule as needed.

    Pros

    The software is easy to understand once you learn how to use it. It allows our company to track performance and productivity of each employee, as well as, the time spent on each project.

    Cons

    The software does not allow us to perform certain functions which are specialized to certain projects we handle. Sometimes we get an error when working with certain functions.
