Vice President at JPK and Associates, Inc.

Pros

Rafaela S.

Business Developemnt manager

“Love the event layout and the ability to move people to different events easily.”
GH

Graham H.

Director of Finance and Human Resources

Cons

“One of the issues that we do come across is that it tends to glitch when we are out in the field and then my workers have to completely close the app and restart it.”
sh

samantha h.

Administartive assistant

“I dont like the amount of work it takes to set up a time kiosk for my employees to use. If the computer resets, or updates, or the browser gets shut the kiosk terminates itself, and I have to go reset and reapprove the device to work as a kiosk.”
RM

Ryan M.

Operations Manager

“As it is a cloud based, sometimes the system lags causing delays due to the downtime and updates of the software.”
MM

Mohammed M.

Project manager

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.”
PM

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.”
JR

Jonathan R.

Director of Operations

“Sometimes can be glitchy but it could be internet access”
