Pros
I loved that the platform has a directory that is separated by department. It's super easy to check my paystub as well.
Easy to use, my employees like it, options of medical benefits, customer service was good, pricing is very affordable.
The software is easy to use for members who need help in where to start. Building the employees in the system was easy and the help desk is always there to help.
Cons
Customer Support-after informing the Justworks team that I attempted to change my address to a new state, they denied that I did and said that there was no proof that I attempted to do so.
The only weird feature that I've experienced is their Time Off calculations. The system doesn't include your future time-off days in its calculation of how many days you have left to take off.
I've had to follow up with our account manager on different issues and once actually insisted on getting a new rep due to a series problem they created for us.

Switched from Trinet, and never looking back

Reviewed 5 years ago

Overall, it's benefitted employee engagement, increased efficiency and decreased costs. Basically, Justworks does what every HR software vendor claims to do, but very very few ever achieve.

Pros

The software UI/UX is lightyears ahead of stodgy, archaic software like Trinet. It's also modern and sleek, which makes my employees just feel good and more confident in using the system. It's so much easier to navigate and offers valuable, yet simple, features that amazingly - clunky systems like Trinet can't manage to code into their dashboards. For example, Justworks lets us direct deposit pay to...

Cons

It's really hard for me to find a con. The only one I can say is that they don't offer white-glove, concierge services to answer more "complex" HR questions. I've heard Justworks might be adding a professional services team to resolve this.

Justworks is a big time saver

Reviewed 4 years ago

Justworks has been a huge time saver for us. Onboarding and terminations are so much easier, payroll essentially runs itself, but perhaps the biggest perk is the great, affordable benefits we now have access to. In the end, even with the JW annual fees, we've saved a lot of money, and provided really great benefits to our employees.

Pros

The ease of onboarding has saved me countless hours.

Cons

I wish the PTO visibility was a bit easier for employees.

Tax Mishap

Reviewed 3 years ago

Initially I had a great experience, until I ran into this tax and address issue. Since then its been below average and I'm not sure I would choose to use the software again if given the option.

Pros

Seemed easy to use and easy to change your information for tax and payroll purposes.

Cons

1) Customer Support-after informing the Justworks team that I attempted to change my address to a new state, they denied that I did and said that there was no proof that I attempted to do so. Because of this, they continued to take out the wrong state income tax for nearly 5 months and I wound up owing a great deal of money because of the mistake. I offered to have them meet me in the middle with a credit to alleviate the situation and they refused. Overall, horrible experience and a true lack of understanding and compassion for a customer.

Justworks Review

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

It is very easy to use. I'd say it is perfect for our company with a size of 30 employees because we don't need all the big features that other PEO's offer.

Cons

I don't have any complaints about the software!

It Just Works for our employees

Reviewed 2 years ago

We love it. It is inexpensive and provides amazing value to our company as an HR database and for running payroll.

Pros

I really do enjoy how easy it is to navigate everywhere! Honestly, the customer support is out of this world too! Anytime I have a question, I can hop on their Slack channel and get help. Also, the platform is super easy for us to onboard new employees and keep everything up to date for payroll.

Cons

There isn't much to dislike about JustWorks in my experience. I could see the lack of in-depth docs being an issue, but when getting answers to questions is as easy as a Slack message it's hard to be upset.
