### "Kronos Workforce Ready Does the Job!"

July 15, 2019

4.0

Pros

Gives us the ability to track time and labor without worrying about accuracy and reporting issues. Helps us track labor as we have employees that change departments frequently and we can see that and allocate finances appropriately.

Cons

Sometimes a bit cumbersome to make corrections in the system.

### "Kronos"

April 1, 2019

2.0

It’s alright but I feel like the scheduling should be simpler than it is.

Pros

I like how I can scan my badge to clock in.

Cons

I don’t like how complicated the clock in/clock out process is. It’s so difficult to switch shifts with people and figure out the schedule. Customer service isn’t great because no one working there can figure out the problems.

### "Attendance Tracking vs Just a Timeclock"

April 9, 2019

5.0

Kronos is the only software that we looked at that allowed us to have automated attendance points. Each customer we work with has a different attendance policy but Kronos Workforce Ready is flexible enough to accommodate each policy that we've needed.

Pros

We are able to manage our employee's attendance using Kronos Workforce Ready. We can track if they are absent or tardy on a daily basis in real time. As a staffing agency this gives us the opportunity to counsel our employees before their attendance becomes an issue.

Cons

I am unable to configure the product myself. This is partly because I don't have the time to learn how to configure it and partly because it is very confusing and intimidating.

### "Having payroll, HR, and ACA in one software program is very convenient."

February 28, 2017

4.0

Kronos has a very good customer support staff. Kronosworks is a wonderful event that we enjoy attending each year.

Pros

The communication between the different instances of HR, Payroll, and ACA allow for more efficient processing and tracking.

Cons

Right now, my only input for improvement would be the HSA calculation adjustments when someone switches from a family plan to a single plan. We currently have to keep them on the family plan and watch the deductions ourselves, otherwise it will take the deduction post-tax.

### "Many features and extremely user friendly"

February 6, 2019

5.0

Pros

I think Kronos WFR is extremely user friendly. You're able to use the menu or use the search bar to find the area you need to get to. Also, updating configuration is straight forward, you have options and they make it easy to make a choice and make changes. The on screen reporting is easy to use, easy to share and easy to download as well.

Cons

I wish there was a smoother process to transfer employees between different EIN's. It makes sense that you have to term the EE under the old EIN and rehire in the new EIN but as a whole the EE shows on reports twice and makes it look like the termed and then came back. It's just not cohesive.

### "Overall a positive experience"

October 9, 2018

4.0

Pros

I like the ability to pull almost any data we need on my own. There has been only a couple of instances where we have had to ask Kronos to write a custom report for us and I'm sure with some further training we might be able to do those on our own in the future. The other great experience is the people - just about everyone we've worked with is amazing, from the implementation teams to the technical support staff.

Cons

The customization during implementation was very involved, which I guess can be a pro or a con. There have also been several instances where the system was down for almost a full day. This is completely unacceptable.

### "Everything you need to manage your HR and Payroll needs"

September 25, 2018

4.0

Overall, very positive. There is a very powerful resource, but has a steep learning curve.

Pros

It's extremely customizable and has everything you need to manage your company, from HR document management, Payroll, and Time and Attendance. The customer support is great, if there is ever an issue, the Kronos staff is extremely easy to work with in finding a resolution.

Cons

There is quite a bit to learn. I've been using the software for over 3 years and I still don't know half of the ins and outs of the program.

### "Great Service, Great Product!"

February 22, 2018

5.0

Pros

I would highly recommend this product. There are a lot of HR systems to choose from but this is one of the easiest I have used. Everyone I have interacted with at Kronos has been very helpful and very friendly! I love the consolidation of information in this program. Everything that you need to know about an employee is in one spot. This was quite the change for our company - we used to have information in various places. Now, by logging into Kronos, I can easily find everything I need. I also enjoy the easy-to-use and easy-to-understand HELP feature.

### "Kronos as an Employess"

July 22, 2019

5.0

I like it overall no complaints on the computer other than a couple fixes that would make it run 100% efficient such as making it a bit faster and making the interface a bit more pleasing and simple, as far for the app, it’s not good but it does the basic tasks that I need to do in a rather slow process but good for a quick use

Pros

I really like how Kronos works as regards of marking your location, easy to edit time, and the vast options it has

Cons

I really really do not like how the app for the phone is setup. It is pretty buggy and has not been updated interface wise for a while to my knowledge, which is bad since I use the app a lot more than the actual computer version

September 18, 2017

5.0

The payroll process still goes much smoother and faster with kronos.

Pros

No longer have to fill out and turn in paper time sheets. Its very easy to use for all level employees.

Cons

At the end of every week it takes about 6 hours to punch in and key all missed punches from employees

### "Moved us into the 21st century."

November 13, 2017

4.0

Kronos Community has been very helpful and the response I get when I open a case is very good.

Pros

Removing our IT Dept for updates and reporting; getting updates automatically. The ability to create reports and export them easily is also a plus.

Cons

Accruals - very cumbersome and not user friendly from an admin perspective. It is difficult to make changes to employee accruals.

### "Feels like I'm back in the '90s"

November 24, 2018

2.0

Pros

I use the Kronos time and attendance system at work, and I'm really digging deep here to find something I like about this... The software works and does its job (i.e., keeps track of work/vacation days through my timecard, functions as an online application for applying for vacation days).

Cons

The look-and-feel of the user interface is straight out of the '90s (e.g., information/ data overload on the webpage, tiny buttons, windows that cannot be resized for easy readability). The information is not updated real-time. If I check my vacation balance right after applying for some vacation and getting an automated approval alert, my balance still shows up as unchanged and the days for which I applied vacation still show up as I'm working.

August 23, 2019

5.0

Pros

The ease of use and accessibility as a user to be able to log-in from any location to view your employee profile with the company. Did not have anything like this in the past.

Cons

Report building was timely but the reports that were able to be created help a lot and were amazing.

I like that the buttons and features are quick to access and use.

### "Difficult to Use and Often Frustrating"

September 29, 2020

3.0

It's not horrible, but I would likely not choose it again.

Pros

Kronos was an effective way to receive my schedule and view upcoming shifts. I also liked that you could view past hours worked.

Cons

Kronos is hard to use. It's difficult to find time off/vacation/availability features, and it makes requesting schedule changes very difficult and frustrating. I wish it was easier to use it to switch shifts with other employees. Its format is not intuitive.

Been with Kronos for 3 years and every day I am happy with our selection.

Pros

I consider this software a great all in one. They are continuously improving the features and rolling out new ones.

Nothing that you wouldn't deal with anywhere else. They are always willing to listen to your concerns.

### "Kronos"

June 7, 2019

Pros

It has a huge range of features and can generate exhaustive reports. It also integrates well with other software.

Cons

It's UI is clunky and difficult to navigate. The program definitely needs a facelift.

### "Kronos for clock in"

March 9, 2020

4.0

Kronos kept an accurate report on time cards & not only kept myself personally accountable, but other staff as well.

Pros

Kronos was used at a previous job for clocking in/out. Kronos uses your fingerprint to clock you in or out, as well as a number code, for better security. It provided a quick & easy way to come & go from my job.

Cons

Occasionally, kronos would freeze or slow down tremendously, making it difficult & somewhat time consuming to clock in or out.

### "Overall positive but lacking in the performance review function."

August 29, 2017

4.0

Pros

the fact that it's paperless and i can access it anywhere with a decent wifi connection. Also, it combines many portions of HR that before we'd had to maintain in separate spreadsheets.

Cons

still can't use the performance review function - notes from all three reviewers are visible and that doesn't work for our company. Need something to limit the employee documents or filter them on the employee's profile

### "Good Software...Could Use Some Updates"

April 13, 2018

4.0

Overall, the software is a helpful tool. Our organization is in the process of expanding our Kronos capabilities so I am excited and curious to see how our updates come to life.

Pros

To begin, the software is aesthetically pleasing, which is always a plus. It is easy on the eyes and most information is easily accessible.

Cons

There are quite a few areas where information does not “flow” through from our other software partners. Also, there are some processes that seem to require a large number of button clicks.

### "End User point of view"

August 17, 2018

5.0

As a client I had to make my team commit time to this implementation. We followed the implementation plan provided by KRONOS.

Pros

This application is extremely user friendly. We worked with the KRONOS implementation team very closely to provide an easy experience for our users. It took some time testing but it is worth making the time.

Cons

If the client does not follow or commit time for this type of implementations ... the result will not be successful.
