When I Work User

PROS

The When I Work software is great at keeping track of my work schedule. On the Dashboard, it notifies me of my next upcoming shift, the date, and the time. It tells at which location I am working and what my position will be. It also tells what coworkers that I am working with during that shift. I can go into the schedule tab of the software and see what days during the week I am working. The software will also tally up my total hours that I will work per week. This is helpful because it allows me to see who is working and who is not so I can get a shift covered. The software also allows me to put in requests in advance of dates that I want to request off.

CONS

The availability scheduling feature takes some time to learn how to navigate. It is somewhat difficult to fully schedule availability. If you make a mistake and accidentally alter the availability for one day you have to go back to that day and fix it before adjusting your availability.

Solid scheduling platform

PROS

The platform was easy to use in general and the employee app was handy.

CONS

Wasn't the best solution for a restaurant. Wanted to be able to schedule without defined end times so that staff didn't get the idea they could leave exactly at that time. Some other platforms allow for this (such as scheduling to "business decline" or "close"). But it works well for businesses with fixed schedules.Dealt with some lagging on the backend when scheduling via a pc.

Reason for choosing When I Work

We ultimately switched away from WIW to 7Shifts.

Reasons for switching to When I Work

Wanted an employee app.

Review of wiw

So far it hasn’t been horrible. There are some things that need to get worked out.

That I have to see everyone’s schedule when they are at other buildings.

LOVE WIW. Always what we need on the daily and brings tons of value

PROS

I love how easy the UI is. The UX for the employee and myself as a business owner is second to none. Makes scheduling and managing labor super efficient and easy.

CONS

Not much to say about what I don't like. I think it does exactly what I need.
