Simple and Easy to use

What do you like best? Smooth experience, it's so much easier than managing it manually. Support team at benefits are a great help when needed. Zenefit's real strengths are on boarding, off boarding, health benefit enrollment and COBRA management. They get better and better with features they continue to add, i.e. FSA, Commuter Benefits, PTO, Reporting etc have been added and is seamless these days. What do you dislike? When they buy new software, they should take more time to ...

Zenefits Is Clunky

What do you like best? I enjoy that it helps me get paid from a certain company. That's about it. What do you dislike? When I was living abroad, Zenefits wouldn't allow me to put in an address that wasn't in the U.S. I had to use a family address after troubleshooting for a long time. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Payment, that's all. I get paid via Zenefits.

Great HR solution

What do you like best? I like the ability to add functionality simply by adding apps to our account. What do you dislike? Some of the training videos are too basic and long winded. Recommendations to others considering the product You should really give this product a trial. I wasn't sure at first, but I have grown to appreciate and love it. It does all of the things we were doing by hand or on a myriad of different apps and programs from one place. It has shown us the benefits of ...

What do you like best? - Grouping of employees to managers - Collaborative notes in one-on-ones - tracking for candidates to new hires to ongoing employees What do you dislike? - user interface when it comes to the employee specific details. Ex: the navigation to the employee specific PTO is a bit non intuitive/can be simplified. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Streamlined employee management across all levels. HR has ...

Thank you Zenefits!

What do you like best? Zenefits has streamlined my HR responsibilities immensely. I have been very grateful to have this tool to help me learn the ropes of everything from hiring to PTO. What do you dislike? When I first was learning about Zenefits, I reached out to get support/training and was told that didn't exist. Then, through my own digging, I found extensive options for that and it has helped a lot. It was a rough start getting support, but now they've made up for it with their ...

Good HR platform for small businesses

What benefits have you realized? We manage our benefits and core HR through Zenefits

Great and getting better

What do you like best? I like the fact that Zenefits is always improving. I was with them when they were a free platform and now that they are paid. I am waiting for full scheduling functionality before I move on to transferring all of my human resources programs. What do you dislike? I think that their systems can be visually more appealing. It's better than most in the market, but I like something bright and clean looking. Recommendations to others considering the product Zenefits ...
