## HR Plus Reviews
  ### 1. Pretty decent software but Customer Service is rough

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nicole J. | Customer Success Representative, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

I love how you had all of your HR tools and document storage in one place. Payroll was smooth on the front end and the backend.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

We've had a tough time with Customer Service. They were very hard to get a hold of. No phone numbers on their website and email responses would take over a few days. It was as if they were making it hard to contact them on purpose.

**Recommendations to others considering HR Plus:**

If you have an issue, give yourself some time to get it corrected or fixed. Also, once you find a number, keep it! It's really hard to get ahold of customer support.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Having payroll being a part of the tool has been an huge help. We've also loved the reminders of anniversaries, birthdays, and special moments of our team. It's also been great to see different webinars to help level up our processes.

  ### 2. Great User Friendly Product!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Practice | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 04, 2022

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

How simple it is to use and how our onboarding process is so streamline utilizing Zenefits. Also our new hires really do well and don't have any issues onboarding which is great.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

The customer service platform is very difficult to utilize. It is not easy to get a hold of a live agent and so that can delay your support, but once you do get an agent it is great.

**Recommendations to others considering HR Plus:**

To make it easier for administrators to access a live customer service agent.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We don't have any current issues with Zenefits and they have resolved any issues we had like I had a question on how to set up the calendar holidays and an issue with our time off policy not allowing the proper calculations and it was resolved.

  ### 3. Easy, affordable, and practical

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dan M. | HR Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 28, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

I love how we no longer need to have a separate app for employees to clock in/out and another separate program to process payroll of those timesheets. We have it all in one with Zenefits.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

The support response times could be better.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Saving money and simplifying systems used.

  ### 4. Terrible Support, Lackluster Product

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

The interface for employees was easy to use.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Literally everything else. From the administrator's perspective, the software was not user-friendly. Most egregious, the integration we had set up with ADP for our payroll import was constantly breaking. Zenefits took an excessively long time to fix it and even actively caused problems with our payroll on occasion, once deactivating all our deductions, causing us to have to put out their fire on the day we ran our payroll. Most egregiously, customer support is abysmal. Even though we are no longer customers, I am currently on hold for a chat with a support agent as I need a few reports as we build out our new benefits accounts. I have been waiting for over an hour for an agent to answer the chat. Tickets submitted through their system also take multiple days for responses, and even longer to be addressed.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We needed an HRIS. I was not at the company when we started with Zenefits. For the most part, Zenefits was easy to use for our employees, but not as easy for administrators.

  ### 5. Good one stop shop for all HR related needs!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dahni B. | HR Manager / Talent Acquisition, Internet, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 05, 2018

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

I love how easy Zenefits make staying on top of all HR related needs for the company!

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Sometimes it can be a little glitchy with certain browsers but it's not a breaking point. 

**Recommendations to others considering HR Plus:**

Make the product more reliable on all browsers. 

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The biggest one is employee benefits and administering health insurance. 

  ### 6. Cheap Payroll provider.  You get what you pay for.

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Judah K. |   Bookkeeping Professional and Executive Partner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 10, 2022

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

They have some great products to add to your payroll.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Their integration with General Ledgers like Xero or QBO is not helpful at all and will create more issues. 
Their support is VERY slow on responding and resolving.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Payroll.  They file payroll taxes and such.

  ### 7. A Wonderful HR/Payroll All-In-One Platform!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Cariss P. | Real Estate Entrepreneur, Owner, Real Estate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

Zenefit's dynamic ease of accessibility to the many features of their programs is wonderful. The web and app design is eye-catching along with the plethora of resources available, and the efficient, friendly customer response. I love the colors of their logo--it made it more captivating to inquire more information about their company-- their brand name is even catchy!

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

It was a complicated process from switching from one payroll company to Zenefits. The least helpful function came to setting up my payroll calendar--The implementation was poor and the mobile app for the employees seemed inefficient--it was not easy to use.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Zenefits helps by providing many HR Benefits that I can offer to my employees to ensure they are fully covered.  With learning a depth of context on remaining HR Compliant for my business, I can ensure my employees and the business is in good care.

  ### 8. Easy to navigate and see everything at a glance.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 10, 2022

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

It's straightforward in the ability to find the information you want to view and or change, and even easier to change it if needed.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

I wish you could bulk change times for someone who was having issues logging in for 3 days and instead you have to log each of their 3 days separate vs all at once.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Making it easy for work at home employees to clock in and out for time tracking. The option for GPS locations is nice when done via mobile as well.

  ### 9. Zenefits gifted me with more hours in my life!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tracy P. | Director of  Operations, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 27, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

Zenefits has reduced the time I spend managing my team and I am SO thankful. Highly recommend!!!

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

I would love more management options in the app.

**Recommendations to others considering HR Plus:**

Zenefits is awesome! I have more time.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Payroll and time off is so easy.

  ### 10. a tool to streamline onboarding to payroll

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 15, 2022

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

Zenefits has all the tools and metrics to run the HR function

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Zenefits doesn't have a framework for recognition as such

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

HR open pointers, from streamlining operations as a whole

  ### 11. Stay away from Zenefits

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lydia M. | Accounting Human Resources Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 18, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

I don't like anything about Zenefits or their product. They over promised during sales and as soon as we were onboarded the support went away. It takes 2 MONTHS to get a response to help tickets, including time sensitive ones. EVEN IF YOU CALL! I even contacted the VP of customer relations (we have a mutual friend) and he referred me back to customer service. Absolutely horrendous.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Everything. Especially customer service.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Open enrollment went very smoothly. Everything else is an absolute trainwreck. For example, they short paid our Q1 industrial insurance. I contacted them on 5/12 and did not get a response until 7/15 telling me they would not be resolving it. Today, 8/18 I recieved a notice that they DID IT AGAIN on Q2. They literally struck out the amount due and wrote in a different total on the remittance notice and short paid Labor and Industries.

  ### 12. Zenefits for Startups

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ashley T. | Director of Sales & Marketing, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 09, 2022

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

Zenefits streamlines the process of onboarding, payroll, vacation, and more! As a newer business, we must save time wherever we can!

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Nothing, the product serves all our needs!

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Zenefits solves the problem of the time it takes to onboard new employes. The time is significantly reduced and we can put our time back into things that keep moving our business forward!

  ### 13. Zenefits HR Payroll Tax

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kiet T. | Head of Accounting, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 26, 2019

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

I like Zenefits hiring and time & attendance features the most.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

I am not sure if other companies have the same problem with me or not.  I have had a lot of problems with payroll tax with Zenefits.

**Recommendations to others considering HR Plus:**

No recommendations

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I raised up the issue with 1099s and Zenefits didn't resolve and blamed back on me.  They never show their efforts to help their customer.

  ### 14. Highly Recommend Zenefits

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Max W. | Chief Operating Officer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 01, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

Zenefits has been very helpful for our company. With over 100 employees, Zenefits helps reduce confusion with timekeeping, insurance benefits, and PTO. It eliminates unnecessary conversations with payroll and HR because all information is available in one easy-to-use application. It is very transparent by allowing the employee to see hours of work and PTO available in real-time.  I would recommend Zenefits to anyone on the fence and need a great HR solution

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

I would like the insurance card to be directly downloadable from the app. In addition, it would be nice for the employees to submit missed punches on the time clock through this app rather than having to send an email to payroll.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We eliminate unnecessary conversations and confusion with HR and payroll because this app is exceptionally transparent and shows employees time worked and PTO available in real-time.

  ### 15. Very frustrated with the customer service

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Electronics | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 28, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

Time clock and Payroll is simplified and genuinely make the process much easier!

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Sometimes customer service can take a minute to get a response or hold times can take longer, which I was told is also set to be improved.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Writes up are now all in one place and uploaded to the individual's file. This has made it easier to track our Write-ups and PIPS

  ### 16. User Friendly and Amazing Onboarding

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Human Resources A. | HR Coordinator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 30, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

I love the seamless onboarding it performs! It collects I-9 data, personal information, demographics, and any customized questions you wanted answer from all new employees with the click of a button!

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Dislike that it does not offer 401k during onboarding, but this is minor in my opinion.

**Recommendations to others considering HR Plus:**

Very streamlined onboarding process

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Streamlining the onboarding process and making it very user friendly for both employees and administrators to engage in.

  ### 17. Best payroll system

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

I love how easy it is to run payroll with Zenefits. Having close to 300 employees can make it a challenging task, but the software is so user-friendly that uploading it all is a breeze and then all deductions, contributions, taxes, etc. is taken care of from there! Plus, having the "full service" option for them to take care of our unemployment insurance for all employees - including those in multiple states is amazing. I have seen reviews criticizing the customer service, but that's never been an issue for me. Timely responses and helpful people are all I have experienced with Zenefits.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Some modules don't have full functionality to all employee-related information which requires backtracking.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Time saving in running payroll, single use system for onboarding/offboarding and all HR related needs.

  ### 18. Great

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Apparel & Fashion | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 12, 2022

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

interactive, user-friendly, and excellent customer support.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

short business hours and long process to get help

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Keeping track of time off, benefits, and performance management reviews

  ### 19. Zenefits is So Helpful!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 23, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

I love how user-friendly Zenefits is. A lot of companies have really confusing ways of managing employment documents, health insurance, etc., and Zenefits has everything laid out very simply.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

There really isn't anything that I dislike. I find it to be incredibly easy to use. I love that my company's org chart and my time off live in one place. It really is a one-stop shop for all things HR-related.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I never have to ask questions about my time off, holidays, org chart, etc. It all lives in Zenefits. I am part-time now, but when I was full-time, I could track all of my remaining vacation days, as well as my FSA information in Zenefits.

  ### 20. Get's the job done but much to be desired.

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Airlines/Aviation | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 27, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

Once it's setup, benefits administration is fairly intuitive for both admin and employee. Payroll is also pretty easy to use! - again that's after getting through the pain of setup.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Our pain points are related to support and to several of the apps/functions that really need to be developed to be useful. With support, we pay additional fees for an "advisor", but most of our questions are referred to a support queue, so the advising option isn't helpful. Additionally, they sold us on their performance, compensation, and people hub functions, all of way are fairly basic. I had to purchase tools outside of the system, but am still locked into paying for the Zenefits version of these tools.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Zenefits serves as our HRIS. We onboard employees, complete and store their information, and administer payroll and benefits using the system.

  ### 21. HR & Payroll Made Simple

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Patti G. | H, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 29, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

It is user friendly. It allows us to manage all staff with ease.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Support hold times can exceed 25 minutes, but they are always helpful and friendly once reached!

**Recommendations to others considering HR Plus:**

I am the HR Lead for a start up company which means everything is from scratch! Zenefits has helped make our HR and Payroll processes simple and efficient. Even when I forget a step because I wear multiple hats, they never fail to send me reminders to ensure we are successful and compliant with all processes. Always a great experience!

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

HR and Payroll made simple

  ### 22. Onboarding and hiring

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

I like how easy it is to see all the information about your paycheck to make sure it's accurate. I also love the different views that you can see your pay in to make sure you understand.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

I dislike how hard it was to find what my hourly pay is in the beginning. I feel like finding basic information about the job and my information should be one of the first things I see.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am getting paid through zenefits but am also getting documents since my company doesn't have an HR department. This software solves our HR and pay problems by being all in one.

  ### 23. Zenefits for HR Functions from the view of an individual contributor

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Steve W. | Sr DevOps Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

The best part of Zenefits is that it serves as a central dashboard for many HR functions that we need at work.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Sometimes there will be a tiny pencil icon at the top of a page for editing fields, but there is a disconnect between that edit icon and the editing of fields lower down in the pages.

**Recommendations to others considering HR Plus:**

One of the best features in Zenefits is the PTO tracking and request system.  It is easy to use and very convenient.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Zenefits puts all of our HR functions into a central location for employees to use.  It also gives us a simple interface for making changes to our data.

  ### 24. Simple and User Friendly HRIS

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

Zenefits is a simple and very user friendly Human Resources Information System.  Easy to manage and locate information. Does not require extensive training to use the software.  HR functions are organized by applications.  This system reminds me of how user friendly an Apple products are for users. If you like simple and straight to the point, Zenefits is for you.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Because it's a software and like many software, the users must continue to update the information and be aware of glitches.

**Recommendations to others considering HR Plus:**

Zenefits is a great software system for small and midsize company looking to get assistance in HR administration. It is easy to use and set-up. I have used it for about 5 years and it had been great!

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

My main concern is that there are times when the software has glitches which can provide inaccurate information or disrupt certain HR tasks and activity.  When there is a system error, contacting customer service had helped me resolve the problem and fix the error. The good thing is that they have 99% solution for all issues and errrors.

  ### 25. HR made Easy

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 29, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

The best part of Zenefits is that they cover almost any scenario that you can think of. At least, most things that I can think of. lol

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

It's sometimes general scenarios so you have to adapt it to your company or environment. But the structure is there so at least you're not reinventing the wheel, you're just making it your own.

**Recommendations to others considering HR Plus:**

It's a great product, but it's general. You'll need to take the time to make it your own.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use it as a way to approve and track PTO, sick days, vacation, and other time off situations. We also like to use it as our benefits platform, org chart, and performance management system.

  ### 26. Great for onboarding!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tai R. | Director Of Staff Development, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 13, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

Great for onboarding, benefits, and payroll management. We have used Zenefits for years, and it has been a great tool for managing our employees' time clock, payroll, benefits, and hiring/onboarding.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Sometimes the customer service is not as quick to respond as I would like.

**Recommendations to others considering HR Plus:**

Easy to use. The only issue we've had is customer service can take a few days to get back to you when you do have issues.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are able to manage our payroll without hiring a full-time accountant.

  ### 27. Easy to use!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kristi C. | Project Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 28, 2022

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

I like how you can do PTO, org charts, time off, track payments, all super easy to use

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

nothing. it is very easy to use and I wouldnt change anything right now

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Keeps our whole company organized. Keeps all of our departments clean and easy for each department to see who works in which department. Also it is super easy for time off and PTO requests.

  ### 28. You'll need customer service at some point. You will not get it.

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Leticia A. | Director, Operations, HR & Finance, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

UX design. It's hard to point out the good when the bad is overwhelming.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Lack of customer service training and infrastructure.

**Recommendations to others considering HR Plus:**

I was very happy with Zenefits... until I needed something. If you're a small company looking to implement your new HR system, and your budget is tight so you can't afford a larger platform, Zenefits is NOT FOR YOU, I suggest you wait until you can pay for a more reliable partner.

Everything will be fine until inevitably, an issue arises and you need customer support. Then, you'll pay the price for being a small business. We small business have small teams wearing many hats, and therefore we need great partners. Partners that are going to take us by the hand and respond promptly with solutions. Do not expect a fast response from customer service. Do not expect your response to be good once you receive it weeks or months later. All the contrary, they've just made it harder for you to contact customer service in the first place.

I still have tickets open from last January or February and I've got 2 "responses", both saying that my tickets were assigned to a specialist, and that they'll be contacting me. Never happened. Too bad I had just renewed for another year.

The system in general will do the minimum but the features are too basic, and the reporting is horrible. The integration with QuickBooks unusable for real mapping and labor/project expense tracking. Not a good format for data manipulation.

Again, if you need help, look elsewhere.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

HRIS

  ### 29. Overall would recommend Zenefits to you!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Banking | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

Zenefits is very user-friendly as an employee and an employee. I appreciate that it's intuitive, easy to navigate, and a platform for all to stay connected and on top of things!

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

I would say one area of improvement would be the accessibility to customer support. A help box guides the user to explain the problem and provides solutions; however, not every situation is simple.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I would like customer support for the problems I need help solving. I generally like it when someone is able to explain the problem behind the situation and guide me into the right direction.

  ### 30. This is a great payroll app for small businesses - easy to use & great time and attendance function

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sirena C. | Managing Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 01, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

I like the ability the ease of the onboarding process.  I also like the time and attendance function and the ability to generate reports,

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

I don't believe this is designed for larger businesses in mind. However this is great for smaller businesses looking for value.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I receive acknowledgments during my onboarding process and I can save them in our employee folders.  I can look back and find total payroll, plus any commissions or bonuses paid out.

  ### 31. Zenefits will benefit you

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 21, 2020

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

Ease of use, and they do our taxes' mumbo jumbos!

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

No downsides, except they probably could reduce the steps required to complete payperiod's payroll after approving Time & Attendance

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's my go-to site for HR news and the payroll's so easy to use and understand.

  ### 32. One Stop HR Solution

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Byung K. | CFO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 01, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

Zenefits is the one stop HR solution online platform that we selected over Gusto, ADP, and Paychex.  Zenefits provides our company tools to manage payroll processing, employee recordkeepind and new hire onboarding at a reasonable cost.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Zenefits provides support only through email and does not have an option (at this time) for chat/talk to a live representative.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We saved an average of 40 man hours per month working on HR related issues by switching to Zenefits.

  ### 33. Zenefits

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rebecca T. | Notary Public, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 16, 2018

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

The user interface is appealing and well organized.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Issues with communication and bugs. Had a lapse of health benefit coverage that wasn't communicated with us and caused problems. Overall communication needs to be better. I don't always receive responses from their support team.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Onboarding and benefits distribution. As the only person in HR, it's important to use my time wisely and it really helps that Zenefits allows employees to update and access their own information. It's also helped us to streamline our performance management process without a lot of hassle for me.

  ### 34. Highly intuitive one-stop HRIS

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

We have been using Zenefits for a few years now for all of our payroll, benefit and PTO tracking needs. It has been a great tool and place to keep all employee history, documents and information stored. We are a fully remote company and have employees in 30+ states, and the ability to have Zenefits take care of all of the tax filings for all of the many accounts we have makes our lives so much easier. Everything is templated so that our hiring and onboarding is streamlined.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Currently, the integration between Human Interest and Zenefits is not working for our specific company scenario

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Payroll, Benefits administration, state tax filings

  ### 35. Poor post-sales Customer Service

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nazneen V. | Founder and Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 29, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

Their sales pitch, and after that you are on your own!

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

We implemented Zenefits July 2020 and have never been able to use it successfully. 
1) Extremely poor customer service
2) Unable to reach a human - There is no phone number available. Their chat modules do not work, and when they do, the ?person directs you to links, instead of solving your issue.
3) Inability to provide support to use the service. 
4) They only schedule 30 minute calls during which they constantly direct you to links, and follow up with an email with links.
I tried to schedule a longer call and their support team automatically cancelled the slots. 
5) Inability to cancel subscription voluntarily. They want you to email them through a chat box and then wait to be answered. 
PLEASE DO NOT GET TRAPPED WITH THEM!

**Recommendations to others considering HR Plus:**

Don't get trapped with Zenefits. Their sales pitch is great. Their after sales is terrible. You will spend an exhaustive amount of time attempting to implement their program

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are a small business and Zenefits has not solved any problems. Instead, I have spent so much time and money for zilch.

  ### 36. Zenefits is the best

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Margaret G. | Treasurer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 29, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

Affordable, very flexible (can run as many pay runs a month as you'd like for the same price), all online, easy to use

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Sometimes it can take a while to get ahold of support

**Recommendations to others considering HR Plus:**

Zenefits is my favorite payroll provider. I have used them all (ADP, Zenefits, Gusto, Intuit Payroll etc etc) and none compare in terms of features and price.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are using Zenefits to run our payroll, track time off, etc

  ### 37. Do Not Use This Software

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

The app is very user friendly for admins and users

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

DO NOT BUY. Everything seems great and user-friendly however their support and implementation team is terrible. My implementation manager took over a week to even make contact the first time and I had to reach out to sales to get implementation to reach out. There was no plan created for our company. They have training material but it's impossible to find what you're looking for. You have to wait for an agent to send you a link to find what you need. You'll be on hold for HOURS just to speak to a representation. No matter if it's chat, phone, or email. Save your money and your time by going with different software for your HR needs.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Zero support available and communication. One day payroll just never got paid out and it took them over 6 hours to send us an update. 
Benefits: the integrations

  ### 38. Great Easy to Use Platform

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Stephanie O. | Principal, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 29, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

It's easy to navigate, easy for my employees to use, and love that I have everything in one place (payroll, health benefits, onboarding, tracking important documents, etc)

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

I wish there was better support when I had questions....I have to submit a ticket and wait a few days when I have a question.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Streamlining all things benefits and it's nice to have it all in one place. The app is easy as well.

  ### 39. Poor customer service and lack of Payroll knowledge

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

1. Onboading - excellent onboarding flow with ability to customize fields
2. Benefits management - it was really bad but lately improved, smooth

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

1. customer service: no direct call, hours are limited, chat session wait time is 60 minutes!!!
2. tax filing issues: a quarterly tax report file with amount calculated, printed and someone scratch printed amount and handwritten another amount which is lower. The payment went for lower amount to state and we got ding with penalties. No responsibilities, just excuses. 
3. payroll issues: the software adds hours automatically resulting in emps getting double the hours paid and this happens AFTER the payroll verified and approved
4. Limited features on mobile app

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Onboarding - making an offer to new hire and have onboarding completed before actual start date. This makes life so easy in the event the candidate has multiple offers. No papers, all digital.

  ### 40. Easy and affordable

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 10, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

We have been using Zenefits now for 18 months and love it.  It’s a simple to use interface that is easy for me as the administrator and also easy for the employees to log in and request time off and view their pay.  We have just been using it for time off and payroll the last 18 months but we are getting ready to add some additional features as well.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Had trouble connecting with the third party healthcare providers

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Payroll and time off.  It's a super easy to use solution for someone like myself that doesn't have an HR background.

  ### 41. Great Addition to Tech Stack

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ben J. | Partner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 29, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

We started using Zenefits a year ago. It has been a great experience and revolutionized our operations. From payroll to employee benefits to performance reviews, we've been thrilled with our transition to Zenefits.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

I wish there was a more robust time off feature, as you're only able to have three types of time off.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Payroll, Time off, benefits administration has been huge to add to our organization

  ### 42. Has made Hr so much easier!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Angela V. | HR manager , Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 19, 2019

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

Ease of setting up new employees and gathering required information 

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Issues with benefits administration side- admin not notified of changes in employee enrollments 

**Recommendations to others considering HR Plus:**

Great system, but very limited in free version. Additional features will cost you more 

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

On boarding and compliance 

  ### 43. User Friendly and Efficient HR/Payroll Admin

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Oliver S. | Director of Sales & Marketing, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 13, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

The integration of all HR and Payroll functions is what sold us on Zenefits. It makes onboarding a new team member a breeze, time spent on time-tracking and payroll has been cut in half, and benefits administration is super easy.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

I don't have any downside to report. Zenefits is an essential tool for our business.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The main problem we solved was to take our HR systems out of the dark ages and bring it into the 21st century. Our time is now spent on addressing real HR issues instead of HR administration.

  ### 44. Great price & huge number of features

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Zack T. | Chief Executive Officer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 13, 2020

The pricing for the product was very low relative to the competition.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Having to learn new software is always a pain.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Dealing with PTO being entered from employees was likely the biggest problem Zenefits solved as we grew.

  ### 45. Great Platform

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Janna W. | HR Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 28, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

The best thing is that everything HR in one place, such as new hire onboarding, time clock, time off, benefits, and payroll.

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

Reporting could be better, and setting up PTO/Holiday calendar could be better as well.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are solving tracking employees' time and time off. The benefit of this is that employees have access and reporting and payroll are accurate.

  ### 46. Zenefits does the job

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tiffani C. | Administrator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 29, 2021

**What do you like best about HR Plus?**

ease of use, customizable, different modules, one-stop-shop

**What do you dislike about HR Plus?**

no ATS, scheduling module coulf use more features

**Recommendations to others considering HR Plus:**

Its a great platform. If you need a full service ATS, then you will have to go outside for that, JAZZHR works well with them. Also if you need a more elaborate scheduling platform this is not that robust.

**What problems is HR Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?**

HRIS, no paperwork

  ### 47. Such great HRIS Platform

**Reviewed Date:** September 27, 2021

It's great if you're looking for an all-in-one HR solution and have a simple payroll situation.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

Customer service response times could improve.

We’ve relied heavily on Zenefits to scale our business by helping us to be more effective and efficient in engaging and interacting with our employees.  Since I joined Boomtown, we have increased our headcount by 5x – and thanks to Zenefits, we haven’t had to add any People Ops headcount to manage that growth.
