What do you dislike about Paycor? There are a few things that are more of a manual process than my last software but it has been something that isn't a deal breaker to do. My company ...

"Paycor is Still Growing and Continuously Striving for Improvement"

What do you like best about Paycor? The navtigation throughout the system is pretty intuitive. The timecard management is simple for all users as well. What do you dislike about Paycor? The reporting could be more robust in order to fit company demands. An assigned account support person that is readily available within a couple hours would be ideal rather than the ticketing system. What problems is Paycor solving and how is that benefiting you? The reporting is currently being improved ...

"Great talent, poor communicators."

What do you like best about Paycor? When you finally get someone's attention at Paycor, they're good at what they do and they will help out.
