Cons

1) Since Service is cloud based, it is slow at times. 2) character limits while entering goals can be enhanced than present limits

### "Efficient payroll tool"

September 10, 2019

Pros

Workday makes entering hours very easy and efficient. It notifies employees of when hours are approved.

Cons

"Quick add" of time is useful and efficient, but the regular time entry option is a bit cumbersome and tedious

### "Gets the job done!"

November 3, 2018

4.0

Overall, workday gets the job done when it comes to having a streamlined process in recruiting.

Pros

Workday is a very practical tool for recruiting and I like that it is specific to recruiting. Unlike other programs that could have many different uses, workday recruiting uses terminology specific to recruiting and operates as such with the recruiting lifecycle.

Cons

Workday is very slow! It could be that I work with hundreds of recruiters in my company that utilize this tool, but because there are so many steps to the process, I can see how that can also cause a delayed effect as well.

### "Great Employee Resources all in one"

July 26, 2021

5.0

Overall, very appreciative of the time saved by being able to self-manage my profiles and information.

Pros

Tons and tons of features and uses. Anything you need from HR can usually be found here. Will save a lot of time in the long run for both HR and employees.

Cons

The ease of use can be the main inhibitor. Depending on how your Workday is set up, you may run into trouble in regards to getting the information you're looking for.

### "Good system, could use some tweaking to make features better"

December 23, 2020

4.0

Pros

Applicant tracking system was easy to use when hiring employees. Overall, most of the system is easy to use and get the information I am looking for.

Cons

Before I had the manager profile, I could not see my own annual compensation amount as an employee. Now I can see it in the manager profile, but it would be helpful for employees who want to see their annual salary, especially when raises go through.

### "Great and user-friendly"

January 16, 2019

5.0

Overall, have had a great experience with Workday Benefits. I like being able to use it on my phone while on the go and not having to use my laptop or desktop to access the information. Sign-on is quick and easy and everything can be accessed from the mobile version, which is great and not something all app have!

Pros

The biggest advantage of using Workday Benefits is how easy the website is to navigate. There is a mobile app that is very user friendly and then there is the desktop version as well. Both are very user-friendly, pleasant aesthetics and very straight-forward to use.

Cons

To me, this software does not have any cons.

### "Pretty decent software for employees looking to access their company HR profiles"

November 7, 2022

4.0

My last 2 workplaces have used Workday to arrange HR-related info and dashboards for employees. I've had a pretty easy time in using Workday, and while I don't use it hugely often (more like on a monthly basis), it's always a very quick "in and out" type of feel I get from it, which is very good. Easy to use.

Pros

I appreciated that Workday is fairly standard across the board. I've worked with it across multiple workplaces in totally different settings, and it's this standardization that really ensures that you're getting great quality every time. In other words, there are no bad surprises here!

Cons

The software could stand to be a little more visually attractive and user friendly, but on the whole, I thought it was above average compared to most software in those respects.

### "HCM that is user friendly and easay to use"

December 15, 2017

5.0

Easiest HCM platform to use. Allows your employees to see their information and edit it when needed.

Pros

The software is very easy to use, it keeps everything from Pay, PTO, vacation, and benefits in one. The icons are easy and anyone can figure out how to use it.

Cons

Occasionally information in Workday would not be updated or would be delayed. The platform does not engage its users.

### "Workday review"

December 27, 2022

5.0

Pros

Workday is a web based software very easy to use and organize multiple things at once. My company uses it to track employees learning, paycheck, benefits and pto. The fact that it offers and all in one software experience is a great thing. Not having to switch to multiple platforms is a big plus for sure.

Cons

I don’t have any cons so far after using this software for more than a couple of years.

### "Workday Benefits\_Review"

August 25, 2020

5.0

Workday has been an excellent tool for my company when it comes to tracking benefits, compensation, time off, etc. Compared to other similar products, it has a nice design and has been relatively easy to use.

Pros

My company uses Workday to access our benefits and employment information. It has a simple and good looking user interface, and is easy to use.

Cons

There are times when I navigate away from a page and then have a hard time returning to that page. It would be helpful to have a way to return to the page you were last on without having to locate it again. Other than that, my coworkers and I have been really happy with the tool.

### "Easy to use HCM for large remote workforce"

June 5, 2018

4.0

Pros

Everything is in an easy-to-use portal that can be customized for the organization. Great for remote workforce, as you can upload and update documents easily in a secure environment. Allows for paperless HR and payroll processing.

Cons

There aren't many cons. I wasn't present for the installation, so I am not sure how that goes or what the costs were.

### "Workday"

February 19, 2019

5.0

Pros

The thing I liked most about workday is that is was very easy to use.

Cons

At the time I was using it, I don't think I was able to just copy the time card from the week before. Maybe it's changed or was a feature our management didn't allow...

### "Fabulous product "

January 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

What a I love most about this product is their minimalist design. It looks clean and the user experience is so smooth. It is super fast. The mobile experience is also superb. Responsive web design makes it easy to view anywhere.

Cons

I can't say I have any. I think it is a little expensive for small and medium companies. Perhaps they could think about it.

### "Great hub for tracking hours / pay / payslips / etc. "

January 3, 2020

5.0

Overall I'm happy with this as a tool to track and submit my hours and to have access to my pay info / tax info.

Pros

I use this to submit hours to a company where I consult and bill hourly as a "part-time employee." It's easy to track/submit my hours. I like that I can easily reference all my payslips and tax info.

Cons

Plugging in hours can be a bit of a pain when they are in lots of little chunks vs. a full day. I think they could probably improve on this to make it easier to plug in (i.e. vs. entering start and end times, maybe you could see a full day and highlight the hours you want to submit for?).

### "Easy for the end user"

November 28, 2018

4.0

I like that I can log on anytime/anywhere to see how many days off I have. I don't have to rely on a phone call to HR. Having this information easily accessible helps me plan my days away from the office.

Pros

Workday Benefits is straightforward. Our office uses many workday products so benefits is just part of an entire package. It is easy for someone not super familiar with the HR side to figure out current and future benefits.

Cons

If you are not familiar with Workday, the little "appletts" take some getting used to.

### "Great HR platform! "

July 2, 2019

5.0

Pros

I love how easy and intuitive workday is to enter hours and submit time off. Never been easier!

Cons

I do wish we had the ‘quick add’ feature reinstalled when entering hours for hourly employees.
