Pros / Cons
- Overall, Awardco stands out as a robust and versatile solution for employee recognition, particularly suited for medium to large organizations seeking a comprehensive rewards system with diverse options.
- First instance of failed remeption happened before the christmas break where after cashing in a gift card for a store through awardco, I didn't receive the gift card and heard nothing for 20 days. After this time passed, awardco support messaged saying that the company who I got the card with was no longer doing awardco cards.

- The platform seamlessly integrates various features such as peer-to-peer recognition, rewards management, and eCards, creating a positive work culture where employees feel valued and motivated.
- People on the shop floor are not aware of the benefits, how they access or even that they can. But I think this is more a failing of my workplace management teams in communicating rather than the Recognize teams.
