Pros
“In fact, they are one of our best and most responsive corporate partners and business developers. They are professional and always responsive and available to help.”
“The tax software is also good and very easy to use. Payroll Inspector is very nice in that it will determine the correct local taxes for employees.”
“It has definitely gotten better over the years. Very happy with everything now.”
Cons
“On the Political Subdivision under the employee tab, the drop down is very large.”
“The portal / website is a bit confusing because the steps are not very clear when revisiting the website. I didn't know that some steps did not need updating before completing submission.”
“When calling into customer service, it is difficult to work my way up to an "expert" who can fix an issue that takes more knowledge than the front line person has.”
