Graham H.

Director of Finance and Human Resources

Cons

The billing model feels designed to trap you into recurring charges, and the “support” team seems more interested in hiding behind policy than supporting customers.

Matthew H.

Winemaker

“There were times that the information was not up to date regarding shift availability that led to some shifts getting mixed up.”

Noah M.

Expediter

Their support response was robotic and dismissive, simply quoting “non-refundable Terms of Service” without any attempt to help or escalate.

Matthew H.

Winemaker

Cons

“We cannot communicate 2 way with staff and cannot create a group chats with the team per event. Since we are here, also a section where you can have documents to give team.”

Pablo M.

Director

“Not allowing workers to Opt to share their calendars across multiple employers means that employee calendars are not always up to date.”

Jonathan R.
