Head of Comp & Ben Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Strong payroll engine, take a little time to learn the platform when coming from legacy systems." October 11, 2017 5.0 Pros Reporting and analysis features, Easy to process complex one time payments. Much faster processing time vs. ADP. Cons Platform is sometimes too complicated, we had issues with our W2 configuration mainly due to complexity of the platform. Review Source DM Daniel M. IT Specialist Utilities Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Review" March 11, 2020 4.0 Old company did use it for benefits and other things like that which was very beneficial for what I needed. Pros It was great to view benefits and time sheet info. Cons Sometimes hard to get around and find what I was looking for. Review Source AM Ashley M. Sales Support Broadcast Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "WORKDAY FEEDBACK" April 6, 2021 5.0 Pros The interface is very easy to navigate. You can easily submit hours, see what jobs your company has posted, and I like the reminders and prompts if you need to do any updates to your hours or vacations. I appreciate links to other worksites it's a great platform. Cons It can be hard to enter hours via mobile and the calendar can be very sensitive when selecting dates for vacation hours. Review Source RB Rebecca B. Admin Support Fund-Raising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Work in progress" November 13, 2018 4.0 The system is ok, this is the first year. It is nice we can still see some old information if we need to. I am sure there will be improvements made. Pros I like that this is a new software for us. I like that is houses all of our information in one place. There is so much that goes into performance management anymore. Cons Sometimes it is hard to figure out what is needed for a step to be completed. I also sometimes am confused if I finished a step correctly, is it sitting with my manager, etc.. Seems like a performance management system is very time consuming and cumbersome. Review Source KC Kiara C. Advisor Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easiest as it comes!" July 7, 2022 5.0 Pros You get to keep all your information in one spot and apply to different jobs without having to keep inverting the same thing on each application. You get to do all onboarding on it as well without the hassle of starting over. Cons I love it all, no complaints on my end here. Review Source SL Suman L. Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best web tool for tracking you goals payroll stuff" January 24, 2021 5.0 Pros Easily can be login using my corporate email, Easy to track my goals as well as corporate goals, easy to send managers feeds backs. Cons I do not see any issues till the moment with workday payroll Review Source LH Lauren H. reporter Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "works well, but not the most easy to navigate" July 8, 2021 4.0 I mainly use this system to request time off, and submit my timecards each week, and that function has never given me an issue. Pros I've used this program for a few years now and while it has never given me a problem, I still find that I'm not entirely familiar with how to navigate it sometimes. Cons the message and alerts system could use improvement. The inbox is one place that I personally find to be confusing. Review Source GT Gregor T. Senior Operations Executive Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It's ok overall, but some things are not clear" June 11, 2022 3.0 Managing personal development, onboarding, kudos, payslips, holiday and sickness requests and suchlike. It's good for most things, but I find the issue with accessing payslips really frustrating! Pros The inbox feature is great in alerting me when I have actions to undertake, I like being able to add and receive Kudos through it and it's easy to request holiday and to see how much holiday I have remaining Cons The thing which annoys me is that I don't seem to be able to access my payslips easily through this at all. It requires a separate login through my e-pay, which I have only been able to manage through my phone. It really shouldn't require a separate login (different to my Workday one) to view my payslips - surely this could be integrated. I'd also like to be able to delete items entered into my personal development section - this doesn't seem to be possible? Overall the platform is a bit cumbersome and tricky to use. Review Source EY ERIC Y. IT MANAGER Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love Workday!" March 14, 2017 5.0 Pros Built in integrations, free IDE for advanced integrations, collaborative user community, twice yearly updates! Cons Absolutely NONE that I have found in 8 years of using this software! I have used it as a customer and a consultant. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Electrical Engineer Medical Devices Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easier to Use" March 25, 2019 4.0 Benefits go a long way in determining job satisfaction, and so making that process easier is a win win for everyone. Pros This software is easier to use that the software my company previously used to manage benefits. I like how easily you can go between screens and compare different costs Cons It's probably just the nature of benefit elections, but this soft felt complicated Review Source MM Malcolm M. Facilities Manager Facilities Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excelent system" December 12, 2021 5.0 My experience is great with this platform i have got multiple times a week and it is second to none. Pros I like this software as it is great being able to access payroll and holidays etc so quickly and easily. Cons Truthfully i don't think there is anything that i do not like about this platform. Review Source gB grant B. Director and Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Workday for better control - Non-HR roles" September 25, 2022 4.0 Pros the system helped manage the compliance around employees and made my job as sales director a lot more structured with HR functions that are not my expertise Cons i was not unhappy with the platform, it helped me follow steps needed Review Source SB Steve B. VP Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday review" October 4, 2019 5.0 This is a very time consuming product to use, the store managers spent a large amount of time scheduling rolls for employees. It was also difficult to roll out and teach Pros The support we received from the team was good, the software itself was always ready to go and rarely let us down. Cons This is a very time consuming product to use, the store managers spent a large amount of time scheduling rolls for employees. It was also difficult to roll out and teach Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Regional Solutions Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Less-painful-than-average HCM software" October 2, 2018 4.0 Pros I love that I can look up my vacation bank at any future date before requesting time off, and it also takes into account any existing approved vacation requests in the interim. It makes it quite easy to securely plan your vacations. Time entry is easier than our previous platform, as well Cons When copying time blocks from previous time periods, the interface is a bit clunky, and it doesn't copy fields and notes by default when doing so. If you accidentally import time from a previous week without checking that box, it's impossible to delete those bad time blocks without going into each one and selecting a bunch of required fields. It's a real pain the butt when you click wrong. Review Source Kathleen M. Writer Publishing Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Easy employee software" September 18, 2019 5.0 As a prospective employee to a huge corporation I found this software personalized and facilitated to meet expectations for communicating specific and timely information between employer and myself. Pros I applied for a position at a box retailer and this was the software used for communications including orientation and interview scheduling, collecting basic employee info, work hour scheduling etc. it was very easy to navigate the layout and prompts. Communication was fast, almost instant. Login info wasn’t needed if you followed the link through your connected email address. Very convenient. Cons I did not have any negative experiences or criticisms of this interface. Everything worked easily and I found it to be helpful. Review Source JK Jeremy K. Solutions Consultant Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Product, Better Support" March 6, 2020 4.0 I have had an overall positive experience with Payroll and have had very few issues with their software - highly recommend! Pros The software makes it incredibly easy to manage and track all your paystubs, we even used Workday for expense reports. The UI is very intuitive and the mobile app makes it incredibly simple to have access to your information on the go. Cons There was one week where our pay stubs were not showing up on the software which caused some panic; however, their customer support team was amazing and helped us fix the problem within the day. Review Source CG Ciara G. Consultant Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Next Generation of HR" May 8, 2021 5.0 I love Workday because all of our files are now electronic and we don't have to worry about having a paper trail. Pros Workday allows you to see and manage all of your HR files and data and makes this information transparent for self and manager. Cons It was a new software so it took a while for everyone in the department to become accustom to using the new platform. Review Source YP Yashashree P. Product Management Analyst Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Leaves and benefits tracking" June 2, 2022 5.0 Pros I use Workday to track my leaves and all my benefits like insurance and 401k Cons No negatives to this amazing website, it makes onboarding easy Review Source DS David S. Sales Order Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Workday is a useful Payroll and Human Resources tool" October 25, 2019 5.0 I like working with it. The interface is clean and uncluttered, I can quickly enter time, request a day off and look at my pay stubs. Transitioning from Paycom was really pain free except we did not get charged for health benefits the first pay period and got ALL of it charged the subsequent pay period. Pros I like the simplicity with which employees can track their time worked, ask for time off, and see their pay stubs. Cons I wish it would let you stay logged in. I have to log in many times a day Switched from [Paycom](https://www.capterra.com/p/130949/Paycom/) We were bought by another company that uses Workday. Review Source AM Adriane M. Mobile Expert Consumer Electronics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An employees point of view." May 24, 2019 5.0 My experience as an employee with this software is very positive! I would recommend other businesses to use it as well as management teams. It encourages collaborative brainstorming and fosters a foundation for productivity and goal setting. It helps on both ways. Pros This software is really great for feedback from my management and mentors. They can input all of their conversations with me about goals and performance expectations. It’s clean, easy to use, and also easy to request feedback or give feedback. Cons I have no real issue with the software other than a recommendation for the comments section to be larger for viewing. When I read comments from my manager the box is too thin and rectangular so it only shows about four words until dropping down to the next sentence. Review Source German D. Creative Content Manager Media Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very intuitive and easy to understand" March 5, 2019 5.0 This is a must-have tool in your business tool belt. The transparency, and breadth of the software is incredible. I don't know what I'd do without this, and though it took a little time for me to implement, I couldn't be happier that I did it. Pros I believe Workday is the industry standard for compensation software. It's flexible, easy to understand, and allows me to have transparent access to what I need. I can also see performance throughout the year, direct my attention to where it is needed, and make sure that I am on track with expenses. Since using the Workday Compensation ecosystem, there have been no more surprises on my end, and serious time has been saved. Cons Like any software, there is a bit of a learning curve, with this platform just be ready to spend some time getting it setup. This is so robust and what you can do in the software is quite expansive, so it takes a little bit of time to get the lay of the land, but once you do, you are more empowered and your admins and managers are more empowered because of this. Review Source JJ Jordan J. Recruiter Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ehhh" June 7, 2017 3.0 Pros The only pro I have for Workday is that it looks cute and has fun colors. I also really liked support staff who came to our office for the implementation. Cons Too new with the recruiting functions so it doesn't have much to offer. If you make a mistake you have to redo all of your job postings. The should model Salesforce if they want people to like their product. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Economics PhD Student Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "workday is a secure intuitive way to access records" April 16, 2019 5.0 Pros A company I used to work for used workday and it was great. It was a very simple way to access pay stubs, insurance info, and anything else without having to deal with a complex HR network while still being very secure. Highly recommend! Cons Nothing. I liked everything about this software! Review Source AZ Adriana Z. Business Peformance Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Hard to navigate at times" July 18, 2017 4.0 Pros This software provides extensive detail for HR purposes. It is easy to use for simple tasks and the customer service can usually assist when there are gaps. It is highly customization to meet your company's needs for compensation. Cons Certain tasks are hard to navigate and there are times when the buttons time out and you can not navigate any farther on the page.
