## Reviews

### "Useful Payroll Tools, but Limited Features" — 4.0/5

> **Michelle** | *29 July 2026* | Civic & Social Organization | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The payroll features are the strongest part of Paycor. It makes it easier to manage payroll tasks and keep important information in one place.
> 
> **Cons**: The platform feels limited in some areas, and I would like to see more features and customization options.
> 
> My experience with Paycor has been mixed. The payroll functions are useful and generally meet basic needs, but the limited features can make the platform feel less flexible than expected. It works well for straightforward payroll tasks, but there is room for improvement.

### "New Employee Onboarding Assessment" — 4.0/5

> **Sophie** | *28 August 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I liked best about the Paycor onboarding process was how welcoming and supportive everyone was. The training and resources helped me understand my role and expectations, while having opportunities to ask questions made the transition much easier. I also appreciated being introduced to the team and learning more about Paycor’s culture and values.
> 
> **Cons**: The part I liked least was the amount of information presented in a short period of time. There were several new systems, processes, and responsibilities to learn at once, so it could sometimes feel overwhelming. I think having more hands-on practice, role-specific training, and follow-up resources would make the onboarding experience even better.
> 
> Overall, my Paycor onboarding experience was positive and welcoming. I appreciated the support from the team, the organized training, and the opportunity to learn more about my role and the company. There was a lot of information to take in, but the resources and support available helped make the transition easier. Overall, I feel the onboarding process gave me a strong foundation and helped me feel more comfortable and confident in my new role.

### "Paycor Now" — 4.0/5

> **Lissa** | *8 June 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Overall Paycor does what we need it to do. Managing employee information and position changes, processes payroll, maintains history, allows us to customize and run reports along with other things.
> 
> **Cons**: Currently there are functions that were once automatic that now need to be completed manually such as changing an employees punch profile and selection of the Worker Comp code. We've also lost the impersonation feature that allows us to see what another employee see in their profile.
> 
> Overall it is well. We have a designated Paycor service rep that helps through the challenges encountered.

### "Paycor is a great mid range service" — 4.0/5

> **Liz** | *21 June 2026* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I appreciate customer support.  It is fairly easy to reach someone on the phone but most importantly, getting customer service through the "help support" chat option is lightning fast and they help right away.  Employees seem to like the ease of use with the leave management system and their own personal managegment portal.  Payroll is fairly easy to run with paycor and there is plenty of support if you have questions.
> 
> **Cons**: The implementation process was the worst I have ever encountered.  We still have things that don't work, but... the parts that work, work.
> 
> We are used to them.  They are much better than paycom, but their implementation was terrible.  Sometimes we have issues linking ourside systems that we were guaranteed would work, but the system itself is good for the price.

### "Easy to use \!" — 5.0/5

> **Jennifer** | *28 August 2026* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that it is easy to use, and now with the knowledge base center, it is easier to find help when we need it.
> 
> **Cons**: When we call the support line, it is often hard to get an answer. The support team may not be knowledgeable in all areas.
> 
> Overall, I am happy with the recruiting piece. I like that it has everything saved and tracked and makes it easy to find things.
