Supervisor

Pros

LH

Lissa H.

HR Coordinator

“shifts makes it really easy to manage schedules, time off request, manage labor hours and easily allows you to communicate with all teams.”
AT

RT

Rachel T.

Operations and Marketing

Cons

“Missing tax accounts and never figured out or notified us for months- that payments were being withheld- but we had no account set up for withholding- to deposit tax payments in.”
RR

Ronda R.

Bookkeeping

“Occasional mobile app glitches and syncing delays can also be frustrating, especially for staff in the field.”
WM

Wendell M.

RFD

“My paystubs and tax information is not available on the app so I must navigate to a website which is not as user friendly for mobile.”
RW

Reggie W.

Driver

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.
MH

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.”
NM

Noah M.

Expediter

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