What differentiates Paycor from other similar products?

The biggest thing for us is having so many functions under one "roof" - as in not having a system for benefits, and another system for time entry, and another system for running checks. It all marries together.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

What do you dislike most about this product?

I dislike how many clicks it takes to get to a simple screen/task, and I do not like how slow and glitchy the app acts at times. Especially during time approval days.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I'm a minimalist which isn't super common, especially in higher education. So, my recommendation is having less clicks to get to the "point" of something, specifically approving time.

Pros

Performance Enhancing
Unique Features
Effective Service
Inspires Innovation
