### "Love GoCo"

February 5, 2021

5.0

Pros

GoCo is so easy to use. I love that it integrates with our ATS (Jazz HR) so flowing hired over is super easy. Our employees have a lot of documents to sign upon hire and having it all done electronically makes life so easy. It takes less than 5 minutes to set up a new hire - would recommend!

Cons

We’ve been experiencing an issue for the past few months with part time employees being changed to full time after onboarding by the system. It has taken awhile and there has yet to be a solution. Other than that, no complaints!

### "Employee Perspective"

October 27, 2023

3.0

In my experience GoCo is best used on a computer. Updating your tax or direct deposit information couldn't be easier. I believe it is a product worth using.

Pros

GoCo has a user friendly layout that is simple to navigate and use.

Cons

Load time on the app can be extremely long .

### "User Friendly"

February 3, 2021

5.0

During Covid, GoCo really made it easy to send needed documents to staff quickly.

Pros

I like that GoCo doesn't require too much explanation to new staff because it's so user friendly.

Cons

I would like to be able to pull more specific reports, such as only February birthdays or anniversaries. As opposed to pulling all birthdays & anniversaries.

### "Simple and easy to use"

February 5, 2021

5.0

Online benefits onboarding is huge benefit for HR and the employee!

Pros

Onboarding is so simple and save a ton of administrative time by streamlining the onboarding process. Very employee friendly.

Cons

Historical reporting has been lacking. But that feature has recently been implemented and on it's way. Would like to have some data inputs on compensation that is visible just to administration and not employee.

### "Health Benifits Management"

October 12, 2020

4.0

At present we are using goco for managing health insurance purpose only. They have onboarding and moany other tools to use if we can. Overall its good.

Pros

Our organisation use goco especially for managing health insurance to our employees. Its very useful in that matter. Excellent customer support.

Cons

If any information like start date for an employee needs to change we need to check with customer support of goco to edit the data. We can't update the information directly. Since customer support responds quickly we didn't face any issue though.

### "Great Product"

February 8, 2021

4.0

Pros

GoCo has been a great addition to our HR department. It does a nice job of holding employee information, payroll, benefits, employee handbook and notes can be entered, as well. Customer Service is very helpful. I also receive emails when an employee has made a change to their account, from address to bank information.

Cons

Sometimes, GoCo gives me emails for changes to be made and are not correct. I then need to double check if the information is legit or not.

October 12, 2023

5.0

Pros

Goco has made my life so much easier! It streamlined my onboarding and time off process.

Cons

There's not a lot I don't like. I had a bumpy intro with payroll but I was in the beta program. I feel like they take feedback well and are constantly making adjustments!

### "Very Simple Hour Tracking"

February 4, 2021

5.0

Pros

I'm an intern and am paid hourly. GoCo is incredibly easy to use. I clock in every day. It's simple to take a break and then come back. At the end of the day I'm able to see my total hours worked, as well as a break down of my breaks. It's also simple to edit hours. I edit my hours and leave a comment for my supervisor to approve. I've not had to email about my timesheet ONCE since using GoCo.

Cons

I really don't have any complaints about GoCo. It has everything I need in one place.

February 3, 2021

5.0

Great ease of use. Enjoyable user experience. Never any weird errors.

Pros

Onboarding is super easy. I was all set before I walked in on my first day.

Cons

Nothing offhand. I hear that there are edge cases for our HR setup at the company that GoCo has trouble handling, but they aren't major.

October 10, 2023

5.0

There are some issues that create a ripple effect for my client which is very unfortunate. I do like the platform and the service is nice to speak to someone, but the issues just keep popping up.

Pros

I think it is very user friendly and the look itself is up to date and appealing

Cons

There seem to be, with my client and i, a lot of back and forth on correcting items after implementation.The same issues seem to arise and we are unsure where the disconnect is.

### "A good service overall"

February 4, 2021

5.0

It's been good overall, but I wish they would fix a few things with execupay.

Pros

This is a pretty good product, super user friendly and you don't need too much support usually. The team was good about setting it up with relatively few hiccups.

Cons

The payroll they sync with (execupay) does things relatively last minute which is pretty frustrating. We received and had to mail the 1099's on the same day, they didn't send it to the IRS on our behalf, etc... They also do not understand how to set up individual HSA's which is super weird.

Benefitmall payroll was the absolute worst payroll out there.

### "Making life easier! "

February 11, 2021

4.0

GoCo makes life easier as an employee to track down personal data, leaves, teams related information. It's a go to place and a great employee portal.

Pros

Most easy and simple to use. Able to get all your notifications on one page which reduces your efforts for searching. Gives great overview of teams and profiles. Simple and good UI. You can get everything at one place.

Cons

It creates a task for you for acknowledging the approvals/rejections.
