February 4, 2019 5.0 BalancedComp has allowed us to establish a solid compensation program that we know is fair for every role in our organization. The team at BalancedComp is passionate about their product which shines through as they offer expert insights and guidance. Pros The software is easy to use, intuitive, and trendy.

VP HR Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "BalancedComp is very user friendly and their staff has helped us whenever we run into issues." January 11, 2018 5.0 Pros The user has an interface that is very easy to use and aesthetically pleasing. Access to all the different data that we need to make our hiring and pay benefits are easily accessible. Additionally, the data has different ways for customize to meet our business needs. Cons It has some limitations in the BalanceResults. In the Plan Content tab, in the Core Competencies section you are unable to assign weighted average for each core competency. Review Source Response from BalancedComp January 12, 2018 HI Gabriel, Thank you for your review. It means alot. I appreciate your candor that you would like to weight the core competencies. We will continue to evaluate this. All of our best improvements come from client suggestions. BB Barbara B. SVP Human Resources Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I love BalancedComp" February 12, 2019 5.0 Our overall experience has been great. I rarely need assistance, but if I do I can reach someone immediately and they are great! Pros I love the ease of use and the information that it provides. I feel confident knowing we are competitive in our area using the BC compensation system. I love the ability to budget annually as well as the template resource to help guide me when we are changing or adding a new position. Cons There really is nothing I don't like or have problems with. Review Source Response from BalancedComp February 15, 2019 Thanks Barbara! KB Katie B. VP of Human Resources Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Balanced Comp" February 8, 2019 5.0 The service is exceptional. Pros Software is very easy to use. The fun acknowledgments add to the system too. Cons The reporting is somewhat lacking. For example - I have asked for reports that export the data by position but it is not available at this time. They are extremely receptive when the feedback is provided so I look forward to some enhancements outside of the canned reports that are available. It would also be great if there were different permissions to sign in. For example - we would like one team member to work on job descriptions, but not have the ability to see all comp info and/or change the job evaluations. I look forward to more recommendations / data on incentive and commission plans. Review Source Response from BalancedComp February 12, 2019 Hi Katie, Thank you for taking the time to write a review.Especially since you transferred over from Compease, we are happy to know you view your decision favorably. I will take your suggestions to our product team. I'd like to better understand the data by position report that would be helpful. Email me. VR Verified Reviewer President/CEO Banking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Balanced Comp " February 1, 2019 4.0 It is time consuming to set up and maintain. Pros I like the support team. I like knowing we are closing the wage gap in our industry. Cons I find it a lengthy process to complete reviews and the team rarely looks at them. It's a complicated system. Review Source Response from BalancedComp February 4, 2019 Hi there, I really appreciate your candor. I think you comments under Cons is more geared toward BalancedResults. We provide unending, free supervisory and admin training. Please let us know if we can be of any help at all. Jamie F. Vice President of Human Resources Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Extremely User Friendly" February 1, 2019 5.0 BC is a great resource. The staff is very knowledgeable and when you call for assistance, you actually get help and not transferred to a voicemail. Pros I love that the system is so easy to use and stores a lot of info. Having the job descriptions templates is extremely helpful. I love the comp ratios, matrix and budget builder. I would be lost without it! Cons Only recommendation would be to add the job descriptions to the Results side for managers to view when completing reviews. Review Source Response from BalancedComp February 4, 2019 Jamie, You are fantastic at your job and a joy to support. Thank you for your kind words. Our entire staff is very happy.

We have loved partnering with them. Pros It's so simple to use, the interface is fantastic, and the ease with which you get an instant snapshot of your company's compensation stance is wonderful. Cons Really, my only frustration is that you can get logged out for inactivity fairly quickly. Great from an information security standpoint, but a bit troublesome when you're working in a couple of different systems and have to log back in.

Senior HR Business Partner Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good company to work with" February 1, 2019 5.0 We have worked with BalancedComp for several years. They provide overall guidance for salary administration which is something that we can lean on since they are industry experts.

DN Doug N. Vice President of Operations Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "BalancedComp " February 1, 2019 4.0 The company I work for had not updated its salary ranges in many years.
