Chief of staff Financial Services ### "Great sales, poor onboarding" 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 May 15, 2025 Great salespeople - terrible service once you sign on. \[sensitive content hidden\] was super knowledgeable and helpful throughout the sales process and they claim to be integrated with Rippling, which is why we went with them. Once we signed, we got assigned \[sensitive content hidden\] to onboard us. She was very unprofessional from the beginning. It's now been 3 payroll periods and our 401k is still not working. After the 2nd failed pay period we got on a call and they took all the blame, admitting to their mistakes and outlining how they would fix them. Now after the 3rd failed attempt they're just blaming it on Rippling and our payroll team despite us repeatedly asking them if there’s anything else we needed to do on our end and them assuring us everything was in order. I would expect their onboarding team (\[sensitive content hidden\] to work with customers to make sure things work, rather than shifting the blame to others. Should've gone with Betterment Pros \[sensitive content hidden\] from sales was great: super helpful, knew her stuff, and made the whole Rippling integration sound smooth. Cons Onboarding went downhill fast. \[sensitive content hidden\] was unprofessional and not helpful from day one. Great sales pitch but pretty bad follow-through. Felt like we were left hanging once we signed. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

President Financial Services ### "Very labor intensive to manage, customer service is frustrating." 2.0 Overall Rating 2.0 2.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 March 29, 2023 Pros Easy technology onboarding when it can correctly identify an eligible employee. Cons Customer service can take weeks to resolve an issue. First response from customer service typically does not digest your concern or provides guidance that is either misdirected on not useful. The platform sometimes will produce errors that the administrator or employee will catch, which will sometimes take weeks to resolve. The administration they expect employers to do is significantly more than other providers and they expect you to have an in-depth understanding of how a 401k plan works, both the regulations and through payroll.

We barely needed assistance in learning to use the platform. Cons This is probably due to my own misunderstanding, but I didn't realize that I had to change my contribution amount directly with our payroll company. I changed it with Vestwell, thinking they would transfer the information. A pop-up or indicator explaining that this doesn't make the change with the payroll company would be helpful. Reasons for choosing Vestwell This was a group decision made after looking at the software integrations with our payroll platform.
