Type this on a sticky keyboard at my desk right now, however, essentially – the product keeps core workforce management functions from turning into total chaos. Pros I liked that i could find all the employee information including clock in/out and benefits in one convenient location on my phone. It made it very easy to simply log-in to request time off or look at my schedule without calling or asking HR for assistance. I am extremely grateful it didn’t crash on me while i was entering my hours today. Cons Sometimes the app seems slow and takes way too many clicks to access the timesheet screen. Also, making me verify authentication each and every time i launch the app is extremely annoying when all i want to do is quickly punch-out. Review Source Jonah S. Director of Sales Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Arcoro is better than most HR programs as long as you are willing to be patient" October 5, 2026 5.0 It prevents you from using paper forms and multiple spreadsheets for every single small HR tasks. It has onboarding, benefits and payroll in one location so everything communicates with each other. When someone new is hired, it doesn't require spending hours manually entering data into the systems. The employees are able to manage their own basic info updates on their phone. All the sensitive HR docs are stored in one secure location so they aren't lost. Pros I will admit I like that everything HR related is in one place. It has worked well most of the time. As an example, I don't have to log out and then back into five different platforms to view PTO or see a pay stub. All the information is inputted and then automatically synced up silently in the background. The Self Service Portal is pretty good too; Employees can simply enter their own direct deposit info rather than bugging me about it. Gladly, it didn't crash when we brought on board those ten new guys last week. Cons If you have an issue with tax reporting, they'll take weeks to resolve it and sometimes you get fined due to them dragging their heels. Occasionally little things will simply fail for no reason (like adding random extra vacation hours to someone). It is slow and clunky when trying to perform something custom (for example; it won't allow you to create custom deductions without making you complete a million steps). Review Source Human Resources Director Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Phenomenal Customer Service - Lacking Functionality" March 23, 2026 2.0 Customer service was fantastic when I had a question. Learning sessions were much needed and so incredibly helpful. My score is as high as it is due only to the service I received when interacting with the company itself. Pros It had all of the modules I needed as an HR Professional. ATS, Payroll, Performance, Employee Management - total full-service system with potential. Cons The modules all feel like they were acquired not native to the original system. So much information had to be entered in multiple different areas because the modules did not link to each other. It is the least back-end user-friendly software I have come across. Incredibly complex to set up - especially events such as open enrollment. It also did not connect with any of our benefit vendors or even our payroll system - requiring hours of manual input in what seemed like hundreds of systems and leaving room for multiple errors on every front.

I have seen two sides to the system. While it is great for hiring workers and managing payroll through the system, I have had issues with the customer service being insufficient. Pros Arcoro makes it easy to streamline processes such as onboarding, compliance, and performance tracking. It is helpful to new employees learning the obligations and safety protocols in the workforce. Cons I would say for the money users pay for this system, there should be an easier way to have issues resolved in a timely manner.

Basic functions but work well for what my company needs for time tracking purposes. " June 29, 2018 5.0 Pros Works well with many different jobs, job locations, and different cost codes. This software works well on both the admin side and the employee side. It is simple enough for employees to use on their own without much explanation. Cons The field reports section could use some work. I love the ability to write field notes, but sometimes there are errors or delayed notes. Also, if the employee doesn't "log in" to a field note correctly you cannot go back and find it once deleted from notes overall section. However, this is not a deal breaker for the product. Review Source Response from Arcoro June 29, 2018 Hi Ashley, It is good to hear that the straightforward approach of our mobile app has made it easy for your employees to use. Thank you for your review, we love to get feedback from our customers! Systems Integrator Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Fits the Construction Space" November 19, 2020 5.0 I think it will help us to smoothen out our recruiting and onboarding process. Pros I liked the organization's knowledge of the construction workspace. Construction has it's own unique challenges when it comes to managing employees. Cons We're not far enough into the project to know what we don't like. Switched from We needed something more accessible from anywhere. Reasons for choosing Arcoro Our HR Manager liked the user interface better. Review Source HR Director Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Feels like the programmers are reassigned constantly" July 15, 2022 2.0 Honestly, the system is good in theory. So many options that were abandoned at 80% for something else to built out. While I'm not a fan of difficult, it can be managed fine if the system works right. But we spent too much time building out work arounds. Entire HR meetings were dedicated to dealing with system issues vs. HR strategy. It got to the point my team started shopping systems and presenting me other options to check out. Arcoro is a pseudo enterprise system, trying to be an enterprise system, and being selected due to perceived flexibility. They would do better to just abandon a few modules, and just focus on 3 or 4 key elements and make those super robust and intuitive, then slowly add back features and make sure they work well before getting caught up in the shiny new trendy things. There are a ton of features, but very few of them are easy to use. We've since switched. I kinda feel like the engineers have previously worked on ERPs that were specific to manufacturing, as some of the nuances required similar steps for product loading, building and sales. However, HR people are not ERP Managers, and generally do not come with that type of mindset or skill set since our nature is largely policy, people, management, and engagement. Pros The sales team is actually a pretty awesome group of people, as are the people who handle training. Cons Honestly, for a company with about 150 employees, we had to have a full time administrator handle the HCM. This is not normal for a midsized company. We were never able to really set a program and forget about it, it was constant baby sitting. There would be reports that would run, when it finally loaded it would be empty. We'd call to find out what is up and they'd say "oh, that report hasn't been built out yet." That report would be smack in the middle of runnable reports, and Arcoro had no intention of hiding or making note of which reports are "coming soon." System loading between the three systems (the LMS and Performance pieces weren't even listed in this review as an option to talk about) was not smooth. We were told it would take one day to load, turns out it could take 3 days. So, when trouble shooting issues, it wasn't just finding what was wrong, it could take three days to ensure it didn't load, but the software wouldn't tell us where the critical error was. Report running wasn't easy, making reports was almost impossible. Every part of the system felt like we had to crack a safe by listening to the dial for the right thing to push before we chose the next option. Reasons for choosing Arcoro Not sure as it was selected just before I arrived as a consultant, but after dealing with sales people and seeing the demos of other parts of the module, they make it look easy. But it's not... there's always a catch. At first I liked it, but there was too much system degradation that happened quickly. Too many little nuances to keep track of to make reports run right. Example: If I wanted to send out a survey, I had three pre-steps to run to make it happen. Then, if I wanted to send it out again 6 months later, I had to do the same pre-steps, or it would be sent to termed employees. These are not user friendly scenarios, and make daily duties that should be 10 minutes into one hour scenarios, and worse were so difficult that HR was often making mistakes that were hard to avoid, and we looked incompetent to our staff. Review Source Executive Assistant Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Using BirdDogHR as our primary ATS resource has saved us time and money!" January 17, 2018 5.0 Pros It's easy to navigate throughout the site and it's well organized. The tools are very useful and user friendly. Cons We've had a problem with applicants that apply through Indeed Mobile; their resumes and attachments are not always coming through. If it wasn't a known fact, then some applicants would be overlooked because they "didn't" attach their resume. However, I contact each applicant that has experience for the position they're applying for and ask them to email it to me. Then, once I get their email, I upload it for them. Doing this takes too much time; I've reported it to our account managers and they tell me its a Indeed thing. Review Source Response from Arcoro January 19, 2018 Thanks for your comments. As you mentioned this is an "Indeed thing" so unfortunately we don't have control over it but we will continue to work with Indeed to get a resolution. Human Resource and Recruitment Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "I have had a very positive experience, and always have all question and concerns handled quickly." January 10, 2018 5.0 This software greatly improved the efficiency of our Recruitment and Onboarding processes, allowed a more universal experience among our multiple divisions. Improved organization, follow through and communication between candidates and hiring managers. Pros Ease of use, ability to format and customize for my specific needs, outstanding customer support and constant updates based on customer feedback. Cons I don't have any true complaints. A few processes feel a bit cumbersome and could be made more streamlined. I would like to see an app rolled out in the near future, as it is not always the easiest to do tasks within the system from a mobile device. Review Source Carolina D. Supervisor Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Effective organization to potential and contracted employees." March 26, 2018 5.0 With this system I have automated every step of the life cycle of employees with the ease of which is an integrated, cloud-based system. Pros What I like about BirdDogHR is offering me a variety of features and services to streamline the tracking of applicants and monitoring performance, and foster collaboration and participation of employees. Cons The downside of this software is that it does not include the module where you can plan an employee compensation. Review Source HR Liasion Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Life changer!" April 26, 2018 5.0 We used to get hundreds of time cards a week and now I audit and track my guys through this software, I can not recommend it enough! Pros The instant access to the guys time and location. and the maps on the sitehub are a life saver! no more printing 50 maps every morning! Cons Report sorting. there are only predefined sorting options I would like to be able to sort by any field I want. I get around it by downloading them into excel however it would be nice not to have to do that. Review Source Recruiter Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "BirdDog's sales, training and customer service are top-notch; " January 17, 2018 5.0 Pros The software has made marketing our agency much more effective from a recruiting perspective. The experience of the recruiter, hiring managers and most importantly, the candidates, has been extremely satisfactory. Cons I'd like to see more flexibility and robustness in the reporting functionality of the software. The out-of-the box reports aren't that useful for my needs and I'd like to be able to customize reports without having to download to Excel and manipulate data in that way. Review Source Response from Arcoro January 19, 2018 Thanks for your comments. We have forwarded them to the product management team to review as they are looking at the roadmap. Assistant Project Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Excellent time keeping tool." June 27, 2018 5.0 Payroll is simplified. Pros Very easy set up, features are very convenient and precise. Employees enjoy the convenience and payroll becomes a breeze. Cons Not many bad things about this product, perhaps GPS accuracy can be tweak a bit but I thin k that may have deal with devices being used on as well. Review Source Response from Arcoro June 27, 2018 Hey Jorge! Thanks for the review. We love to hear that our services make payroll a much easier process for people. Glad to hear its become a breeze! Senior Project Director Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "So far, the software has been very effective with very few, if any, issues. " June 20, 2018 4.0 Pros Time is seamlessly imported into our payroll/accounting software which makes payroll a click of a button. Cons Some of the time editing can be tedious. For example, if an entire crew has a time issue, you have to fix each individual separately. Review Source Response from Arcoro June 20, 2018 Hello Steve, We are glad to hear that you are enjoying the ease and simplicity of our software and how much easier it has made your payroll process. Thanks for the review! HR Director Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Arcoro - Moving from paper to electronic has never been easier." September 12, 2022 5.0 The relationship with Arcoro has been outstanding. Everyone from sales through Customer Service has been FANTASTIC. They have always been courteous and prompt whenever we have questions. I am one happy user! Pros To have a system that offers all the features and benefits for the price is one of the strengths of Arcoro. The software is extremely intuitive and easy for anyone to use. We have paid for the system with the paper we are not using alone. Cons Is it possible to be in love with a product and not have one thing to complain about? Try Arcoro for yourself and you will see why I do not see or have complaints about this package. Reasons for choosing Arcoro ADP is the big boy in the industry and it has to be done their way or you don't need it. Alliance HCM was not interested in partnering with us if we we not going to give them payroll. Bamboo HR did not offer all the things we needed and UKG was VERY Expensive but could certainly give us everything we needed. Review Source Katherine K. Business administrator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Okay product but horrible customer service. " November 28, 2022 1.0 The customer service and support just makes this company downright terrible. If you could get help in a timely manner it would be decent. However, we have had the same issues occur time and time again and it still takes weeks to get a resolution. Pros The applicant tracking software is the only good portion of the software. Cons Absolutely the worst HR software company out there. We have been utilizing arcoro for a little over two years now. In that time frame we have had countless issues with the software and it takes well over a month to get most issues resolved. The customer support it terrible and when you try to take the concerns to their supervisors, you just get met with more frustrations. We have a designated account rep who cannot help with anything and is out of the office most of the time. I would not recommend this software especially for the cost as well. Many other great options out there. Review Source HR Generalist Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Keep Looking for a Better Solution" November 20, 2017 2.0 Look at other options. There are so many out there, many that are more integrated with an HRMS and that have responsive customer service. Consider your candidate experience as well and you'll find a better solution. Pros \*It's geared to my industry (Construction). \*It's also used by several others in my industry which can help people in our industry find postings for open jobs. \*They also manage some of the free boards that are specific to the construction industry. \*The system does make it easy for multiple people to be informed when an application is completed. Cons \*The user experience leaves a great deal to be desired. Both for applicants and recruiters. When I used this system, I often wondered how many people abandoned the application mid-way through the process. (I was hired using this system and I was certainly not impressed by the ATS.) \*The system is not very intuitive. \*The system tries to rate candidates for you but we found the criteria used to be very poor. The 5-star applicants were often very poor candidates and the low scoring candidates were often a better fit. \*Emails informing you of new applications are sent only once per day rather than as they happen. \*When there were concerns, customer service rarely had solutions. They are not terribly responsive (except in the last few days before your contract is up for renewal). Review Source Response from Arcoro November 8, 2017 As a former customer we will take your feedback and perceptions under careful consideration. These concerns are very easily addressed and resolved by open communication with customer care and configuration changes to the system. We feel we endeavored to help you and meet your needs. We appreciated our multi-year business relationship with Story Construction. Accounts Receivables Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "75% of the time I really enjoy exaktime. The other 25% of the time I have problems with it." June 18, 2018 3.0 Pros I really like being able to track hours and records, and run customized reports. I also like that we don't have to bring the clocks in to collect the hours. Cons The thing I like least about the software is the updates. Every time it updates, another problem is created. I am not a person who gets frustrated easily, but after years of bad experiences with customer support I tend to get frustrated easily when I have to talk to them. We usually run into problems while doing payroll, and then we have to wait for them to call us back. After they call back I have to spend a couple hours on the phone trying to troubleshoot the problem, at the most inconvenient time. We purchased the software in 2011, and so we know how it works and what reports are available because we have been using the same functions and reports for years. If something breaks and I call in to support I am frequently told that has never been an option and if it was than it was a flaw in the program, or that we have been doing things wrong and we shouldn't be doing our payroll the way we are doing it. Review Source Response from Arcoro June 21, 2018 Hello Jessica, Thank you for giving us your valuable feedback. I am going to be passing it along to our product support teams so that they can work on making improvements based off of your feedback. Not entered Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Review by a user and not a company" May 3, 2019 3.0 Pros It does help keep track of time and automate time date collection Cons It is clunky and slow. When you start to enter time it sits through a "receiving" process that can take several minutes while you wait for it to be ready for you. When task switching it sometimes does the same. There should be an option to turn off time for a task other than exiting out completely or using the meal break - sometimes you need to stop timekeeping for a period. I end up using the meal break several times a day for this which ends up showing excessive breaks but it is better than exiting out completely each time. At the end of the day as a user the app slows me down and can be quite aggravating. Review Source Response from Arcoro May 3, 2019 Hello Geof, We appreciate your honest feedback and are glad that it has helped keep better track of your employees time. If you'd like some assistance in perhaps making some systems changes to how you reflect meal breaks within the system to possibly speed up your process, please give us a call at 888-788-8463 so that we can have one of our techs assist you. We tried pulling up your account information using your name but could not find you as an active customer in our system and we would like to assist you with this. Thank you again for your feedback. Carpenter foreman Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Exactly right " May 10, 2024 5.0 Pros Ease of use, and deployment for all ages and language barriers to get feel and routine of use Cons Photos at sign in/out seemed to be little invasive for guys. Also photos weren’t flattering Review Source President Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "terrible policies on refunds" May 16, 2022 1.0 Cons we used it for years. paid for a brand new yearly plan of over $3,000 only to find a month later that our hornets do not work any longer because they are out dated 2-3g. Exaktime should have made us aware of this before they renewed our policy. Told us only thing we could do is buy new hardware. Refused to refund our $.. WOULD NEVER TREAT A CUSTOMER LIKE THIS.. Review Source Director of Operations Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Arcoro - BirdDog HR" March 16, 2021 1.0 We have had a horrible time with Arcoro from the beginning. We were sold a service that was not available for us and forced to purchase more features. Onboarding went well but since then Customer service has been horrible. You have to email at least 2 times to get a response and they rarely have the answers you are looking for. I have used multiple ATS and HRIS systems and have never experienced a product or support team like this. Pros Price point, but now wish we spent a little more to have a working platform and support. Cons Customer Support and the product itself. The product features rarely work and are not user friendly in the slightest. Review Source Response from Arcoro March 18, 2021 We are sorry that your experience hasn't been what you expected it to be. Arcoro has a strong focus on customer success and satisfaction. Your account manager will reach out to discuss options. Office Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "The updates have been better, and faster. This makes payroll a lot easier and keeps employees honest" June 28, 2018 5.0 Pros I like that you are able to leave comments on the actual timecards, it saves a lot of time from the field notes. I also like that you can see where the employees are clocking in and out from. I wish it would automatically ask them .. "Why are you clocking in here outside of the geotracker" so that they have to answer or say it was a mistake and they meant to clock out earlier. I also like all the different security settings. Cons The part that I least like about it is that when I am adjusting the time records, it can be very slow. Also, there are way too many report options and it is hard to figure out the right one you want and it takes too long. Review Source Response from Arcoro June 29, 2018 Hello Shana, Thank you for your review. We are constantly working to make updates to our services so that we can better serve our customers so we are glad to hear that you have been enjoying some of our latest updates.

Its an excellent tool to track time 2. Its quick as it saves lots of time 3.As it provides real time data hence there is no possibility of errors and hence its accurate and reliable 4.Its secured, accurate and easy to use features results in no issues with payments. Cons 1.The use of app draws around 14% of the battery per day 2.To use it one needs to wait until job numbers are set up from office.
