### "Best idea for a company to let us reward us."

June 22, 2018

5.0

Comradery.

Pros

I love that we reward our own. When a co-worker does something awesome, it's an easy way to get a shout out to the rest of the company so they feel recognized.

Cons

It's not always a give and take. Sometimes when you aren't recognized by the same people you recognize it can be frustrating.

Thank you for your feedback, Mike! We're so glad to hear that Bonusly is helping encourage recognition among your coworkers! I understand it can be frustrating to feel like you're not as recognized as others. I would be happy to discuss this further, and discuss ways we can improve company recognition for everyone! Would you mind contacting us at success@bonus.ly? Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!

### "Amazing platform, promotes collaborative work"

May 15, 2019

5.0

I think this is an easy way to promote collaboration among users. I easily donate money to your teammates in retribution for any help, favor, birthdays, anniversaries, achievements, etc. Totally recommended!

Pros

I love that this app integrates with Slack, and that you are reminded of any bonus received, anniversaries, birthdays, etc. I enjoy including in your posts gifs, hashtags, emoticons and other fun icons.

Cons

I actually don't have anything bad to say about it.

### "Bonusly helped our newspaper survive during a pandemic"

July 25, 2020

5.0

My overall experience with Bonusly has been great. Morale greatly improved among our staff because Bonusly gave us a way to virtually recognize each others work. Bonusly helped our newspaper keep running during a pandemic.

Pros

Bonusly increases productivity in staffers and we're able to give rewards for hard work. During the pandemic we had a problem with staffers missing deadlines, that problem was solved when we integrated Bonusly. While working from home, Bonusly has turned our virtual work environment into a positive, productive space.

Cons

I truly love every aspect of Bonusly and all the features it offers at a reasonable cost.

### "Bonusly is the best!"

June 4, 2019

5.0

Everything with Bonusly has been great! Onboarding was easy, maintenance is easy, customer support is awesome, price point is great, etc. Everything has been wonderful, truly.

Pros

Ease of use, GIF ability, the dashboard feature that displays your gifs gigantically behind your bonus, wide array of things to cash your points into (including PayPal - basically cash!), customer support team is super quick and friendly!

Cons

I can't think of anything right now honestly!

### "Amazing tool to show recognition"

July 10, 2018

5.0

Pros

This allows people to give quick and fast kudos and reviews that mean something to a lot of employees. Seeing a higher up in the company give points to someone for doing more makes it more appealing and understanding that the little things are being looked at.

Cons

I would say the the thing I enjoy the least is using a # to tag people. It's a great method for tracking and useful for the statistics.

4.0

Pros

I like that this software is clear, engaging and easy to use. The support team are really helpful and easy to get hold of. They also respond to any queries really quickly.

Cons

I think that to improve Bonusly there could be more insights into the analytics and more options for achievements.

September 28, 2018

Love Bonusly I think every company big or small should use this it raises employee moral

Pros

It is always nice to see that your boss/co-workers appreciate what you do

January 18, 2019

It's awesome! Our bosses implemented Bonusly awhile back and it's become a staple at our company.

Pros

### "Awesome Product!!"

May 14, 2018

5.0

Staff self-reward. Each person has the opportunity to reward others. It is not entirely up to management to recognize good work. Also, people reward each other for things management often doesn't even see or know about.

Pros

I love that staff can reward each other and that we can add our own rewards to the list of items available. Staff loves it.

Cons

I'm not sure there is much I don't like about the software. If forced to pick one, it is the reminders that I receive asking if "person" did something this week. I receive three at a time.

I like that it is so easy to acknowledge and praise coworkers for the work they do in a way that actually delivers something beyond the affirmation. The dollar/reward connection make it both more fun to give awards and receive them.

Pros

### "Great Product to Incentivize Contributions of All Sizes"

March 10, 2020

5.0

Pros

Easy to use, great rewards, great way to incentivize small contributions from your teammates.

Cons

Wish there was better group handling (i.e. comparing yourself against teammates) since there are notifications about being best of teams but you can't see how you stack up. Also wish the points would rollover from month to month but unsure if that is a company setting or not.
