### "Time card is great"

November 28, 2018

4.0

Pros

I use this fo my time card and it is great. It is really easy to enter your time card and submit it for approval. It is nice to be able to see my pay checks on my phone with app.

Cons

I don't like when I view my whole paystub on the app it gives me a notification online that I viewed the paystub on the app. I think it is dumb that they don't realize that it is me both times checking it.

### "The most intuitive and organized work expense method that I have used."

April 6, 2018

5.0

Workday is an intuitive and reliable software. I use it most for my expenses and it helps me report and keep financial expenses organized so I can get reimbursed in a timely and efficient manner. I know my management team loves it definitely makes the payroll department's lives much easier!

Pros

I've worked at a couple of large tech companies, and expensing things was always a hassle. At my newest job, I have to travel to some of our different locations for training, and I use workday for my expenses. I can easily upload my expenses, and have it approved by a manager, and get compensated very quickly. I love that Workday is available as an app on my phone as well, this makes it really convenient for me to always stay up to date, and log my expenses wherever I go. Expenses are only one of the features of workday I use, and this is a software that is very expansive . They also have 24 hour support, so they're really good at getting back to you if you need help.

Cons

I wish I had the ability to customize the layout of the interface. There are certain features I use more than others and I wish I could choose to remove things I don't use.

### "Use this everyday!"

February 22, 2019

5.0

Pros

We use Workday in many different ways. We can track our PTO and request days off in this program, we also can view Org Charts and put faces to names. I can see who works for who and under what department on a chart that they provide which is an amazing tool. We also use Workday for promotions and to send documents through. It is great.

Cons

Nothing that comes to mind at this time.

### "Wrokday - know your organazation better and track your performance"

May 28, 2021

4.0

Workday is a great platform to manage your annual goals and performance also review your compansation and salary.

Pros

You are able to see your colleagues details in term of their role in the company as well as track your furure compansation and get feedback on your performance.

Cons

It is not so easy to see and get updates whenever a change occurs, but the most thing I didn't like is the fact that it is on the cloud and from security and privacy level it's very risky.

### "Workday"

December 4, 2019

5.0

Workday has helped me get a new job so for that I like it.

Pros

I liked the ease of going through and putting your resume and everything else being auto filed for the rest of the application.

Cons

I wish if you were applying to another company that uses workday, that the username and password would be transferable.

### "Payroll solution, users can make multiple payroll calculations at any time,i am happy to using this."

November 17, 2017

4.0

Pros

Workday Payroll is one of the best payroll software achievable in the market right now. for human resource experts it will let them manage the payroll and finances more conveniently.Workday being a cloud software obviously avails its customers with a mobile version application which helps you work on the go

Cons

the software can be updated more frequent with new upcoming latest features and even a free trial ought to be made accessible for new clients. did not find anything bad in the application however the company may work to enhance its features and may add more features along with the payroll.Because of it's slowness It becomes frustrating very fast and no support is really offered by the supplier to users.

### "Last EMS You'll Ever Need"

May 26, 2019

5.0

Pros

We use Workday for just about anything Employee related (Benefits, compensation, etc) and it's never let us down. It's very easy to navigate and it's nice to use when you need to extract data.

Cons

I do feel that the overall appearance is a little outdated compared to modern software interfaces

### "Intuitive and Easy to Use"

July 19, 2021

5.0

I love the ability to see what team someone is on and quickly identify their coworkers and manager.

Pros

Everything is all in one place and easy to search. I can find my payroll, my teammates, benefits and quarterly reviews all on one page. Very easy to navigate.

Cons

The buttons and pages seem a little dated. It does not affect functionality at all, but the user interface could use a facelift.

### "Easy to use and navigate"

November 16, 2022

5.0

Pros

Dashboard layout is simple and useful. All the important links are laid out and very easy to navigate. When things are approved, notification is sent to the business messaging software and via email.

Cons

Nothing to complain so far. This is the easiest software I’ve used for employee pto management and performance tracking.

### "I use workday to keep track of office hours, and PTO"

March 7, 2018

4.0

Pros

It's very easy to use, responsive and simple. :It does all i need it to do, and without errors and coding issues. Really great, simple, labor tracker.

Cons

It has a slightly unpolished look to it, but that's not why I use it. They could definitely work on making it look a little cleaner.

### "Make sure it is set up correctly "

November 1, 2019

4.0

I really like Workday. I learn something new every day and it’s a great system when everyone knows how to use it. Definitely pay for workday training.

Pros

Very easy to use and many security features. It’s a really good system if it is implemented correctly.

Cons

Biggest con is that the process needs to be reviewed over and over before it can be implemented. Very hard to make changes once it is set up.

### "Love the Software, Want the Old Design Back"

October 8, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like having all of my pay, benefits, leave time, etc. info in one central place. Workday makes it easy to find exactly what I'm looking for very quickly.

Cons

They recently refreshed the interface and it's not as intuitive as the old one. I also think the old one just looked better overall. In the new design, it's not as easy to find what I'm looking for because everything is nested under a few overall categories that don't necessarily make sense for each item under it.

### "It Has the Features You Need But Not the Usability Employees Want"

February 11, 2021

4.0

From what I’ve observed, Workday is a robust tool and is often considered the industry standard because it is effective at what it does, even though its usability could be improved.

Pros

One of the best things about Workday is the ability to customize it to your company’s needs. For example, allowing administrators to upload a company background image is a nice touch. It’s also robust, allowing you to generate spreadsheets from data and tables (such as payslips). It also has some nice illustrations with micro-interactions.

Cons

Workday has poor usability and user experience. Features are not as intuitive or easy-to-use as other human resource software, such as Namely.

### "Highly Recommend "

December 12, 2018

5.0

Workday benefits has made the benefit election process much more seamless, and there is much less back and forth between employees and the Benefits/HR team because there is a lot of self-service available to the employees.

Pros

From an Benefit perspective, this is the best tool I have used. I can easily see the benefits I have opted in for, and see when I can change them and what my options to change them to are. I am not "benefit savvy" in any way and this really lays out the options for me seamlessly.

Cons

So far, I have no real cons. A nice added benefit would be if our elected benefits had a link that brought us to our providers sight, but that is also not a huge deal.

### "Wonderful Software for All of One's HR Needs"

January 14, 2023

4.0

Pros

I like how seamlessly Workday can serve as a one stop for all HR topics so that I do not have to look through and work with several different softwares for my HR related activities. I also like how Workday can also be used as a professional networking site to look up and connect with potential co-workers.

Cons

As only a user of Workday, I have not used it enough to find anything that I do not like. I do think the software has rooms for improvement but I also think that it works well the way it currently is. Depending on the number of features available on Workday based on your company's preference, it could be a little confusing to navigate through the different features as a first-time user.
