Elena P
Controller
5.0

Elena P.: Hi, my name is Elena and I'm a controller. I give Synerion five stars and if you need more information, please click below. We were using another time clock. I don't remember the name of the software, but it was pretty old. It was pretty old. Because it gives us all the necessary info for employee hours. And I can have all the reports and I can transfer it directly to my payroll software without needing to input any information manually. It was relatively easy. They have a good customer service, so we get all the help we need. If we are having troubles, we can always schedule a call or send an email. So I'm happy with their customer service. I think Synerion is suitable for larger companies because it's pretty pricey. But for a hundred employees and more, it's a very good choice of software.

Kendrick N
CEO
5.0

Kendrick: Hi, my name is Kendrick, owner of Kenny's Kitchen, LLC. I give When I Work five out of five. The products I switched from before using When I Work, it was Square. The scheduling is okay for Square, but When I work breaks it down more for me, to help me more understand. So I love it. When I Work is when I work. I chose When I Work because out of the two to three other scheduling apps I looked through, When I Work, it gave me more of what I needed. Time, wage, how much I'm looking at for wages, for the employee, for the week, the complete breakdown that I need is why I chose When I Work over the other applications. Just enter my information for my company, enter the information for my employees, they even double check and do follow up calls just to make sure everything gets correct. So I really, really had an easy time getting started with that. Anyone else using When I Work I feel like applications such as this one are for any business, but they would be more helpful for small businesses like myself. Because depending on your number of employees, that right there is what you need. And again, they have great resources. They even have helpful videos. Any and everything to help you with learning to schedule, manage employees in your company, When I Work has it for you.
