    In terms of HR functions, BambooHR handles everything. Our human resources department and management can benefit much from this system. BambooHR serves many uses for many divisions. Every day, the human resources team uses BambooHR because it is quick, simple, and easy to use.

    Pros

    This HR management system is both feature-rich and user-friendly. The user interface is made user- and administrator-friendly. The site is user-friendly, and my staff appreciates how straightforward the features are.

    Cons

    One of BambooHR's less enticing characteristics, in my opinion, is its pricing structure. We are a very young company, thus cost-effectiveness is of paramount importance. Unfortunately, it appears that BambooHR's rates are out of reach for startups like ours.

    Simple tool where I could always manage my HR daily tasks with ease

    Pros

    Simple platform, we can see and manage our personal information, book time off in a few clicks, simply check payslips in the documentation section, review and give feedback about colleagues and also review our own goals and evaluation.

    Cons

    can't remember of nothing I didn't like, maybe the page layout, sometimes it would require multiple clicks until I landed on the desired page

    It's a step up from what our company was doing previously, but we definitely need to consider moving into a different HR software.

    Pros

    Once you finally construct an HR new hire packet to your liking, the rest of the process for onboarding is easy. PTO tracking is a simple feature to use as well.

    Cons

    -The system does not flag a candidate with duplicate SSN's, ID information etc. This is a critical downfall. A candidate can create several duplicate profiles with different emails or phone numbers to get around being classified as "not eligible for rehire". If you use this system, please be sure your staff does their due diligence to compare similar names, and middle names.
    -Customer service is dreadful. Rather than specifically identifying your concern and providing a solution - your situation gets referenced to one of their articles. Then the ETA for an actual solution is left to ambiguity.
    -Their system bugs often; For example, I just cleared my inbox today, and it's still prompting me on open tasks needing my attention.
