Pros

“They help to resolve my questions quickly, there is never any gap in service, the calls are always clear, I love that it feels like I'm talking to people who know what they're talking about, are willing to troubleshoot, and the calls never seem to be outsourced to people I cannot understand.”

Madison H.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

“Every component of the program worked perfectly for me from invoicing my clients, receiving payments through their online payment program and duplicating my expenses and revenue accounts. ”

Sharman B.

Marketing Director, Publisher

“It streamlines payroll and employee management, saves time, and provides reliable customer support. While there’s room for improvement in interface speed and advanced features, it’s a solid solution for small to mid-sized businesses.”

Spencer S.

Managing Principal and Founder

Pros

“The platform handles the transition of payments into Euros flawlessly, ensuring that what I see on my schedule is precisely what arrives in my account without hidden complications.”

Jesus M.

Data analysis and Quality Assurance Contractor

“The thing I like most about Rippling is that it has allowed me to unify my HR tooling and services to a single vendor that solves problems for me from international hiring and onboarding to benefits and payroll.”

James P.

Chief Product Officer

“That means when you hire someone, you can automatically create their payroll account, enroll them in benefits, and even ship and configure their work device—all in a single workflow.”

Joanna P.

Messaging and Administrative Support

Cons

“I think the support is somewhat of a joke as they always give you a link to a video on how to fix an issue and I don't have time to sit through a movie about fixing an error.”

Sasha S.

Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer and President

“Needing to pull more than onw report to accomplish filing some of these returns is a pain in the butt.”

Lisa O.

Bookkeeper

“A more integrated training system would be nice, Mineral doesn't really do the trick for govcon work.”

Shana M.

President

Cons

“Occasionally, there are small bugs or syncing delays between modules, particularly with third-party integrations, which can be frustrating when handling time-sensitive payroll or reporting tasks.”

Ammaar L.

Software Engineer

“Additionally, when a unique issue pops up, the customer support routing system can sometimes rely too heavily on sending automated help articles before finally connecting you to a live chat representative.”

Shubham P.

Founder

“I also experienced minor issues when trying to enter specific sick-time hours for a part-time weekend shift, since the system did not allow flexible hour input in that situation.”
