Great experience. Cannot imagine running payroll through Paycor without the integrate Time and Attendance piece.
Pros
I love it how well it integrates with the payroll software. Makes processing payroll much more efficient than before when I had manually enter everyone's hours worked.
Cons
We use a biometric time clock which will give us some issues from time to time. Sometimes it is the sensitivity issue (it will ask to try again several times). The biggest issues we've had was disrupted synching or time punches not being recorded. Lucky, these are rare occurrences.

Overall, very positive experience. Website timeouts are an issue, but the ease of use is a good trade off.
Pros
I like the ease of use and the ability to onboard users. Very straightforward. Non-technical folks can use this product easily.
Cons
Integration options are somewhat limited. The site often times out and time cards have to be manually adjusted often.

HORRIBLE customer service

Customer Service is Horrible. They never return your calls or fix your problems and they hang up on you. I have felt that Paycor leaves us hanging more times than not. DON'T USE PAYCOR!!
Pros
Really nothing. We bought the company and they had Paycor so we were stuck with Paycor.
Cons
Customer service is horrible. I have called numerous times, setting up numerous cases and I never get a call back. I speak with the front line customer service and that's where it ends. I have 2 cases that I can't get an answer on one which impacts an employee's unemployment. It's rediculous that it takes Paycor 10 weeks to do amendments!!! Don't select Paycor if you want good customer service.
