    Pros

    It is easy to build a schedule with this software. For our company, schedules vary day to day, and it is vital that we are able to communicate specific details to the crew members about what each day will entail. This software allows us a way to do that. Our guys like it to - it's easy for them to check their schedules.

    Cons

    There isn't much that we don't like about this software. It works great for us and our needs.

    Overall I like using when I work, it's easy to check my schedule and make any needed changes.

    Pros

    I like that I can send my shifts directly to the person who is taking it. I also like being able to request time off without having to go talk to my manager, everything is done via when I work.

    Cons

    I don't think there is anything I don't like about When I Work...so far I've had no issues at all.

    Pros

    It makes clock in/outs easy to view, scheduling is relatively easy, and some cool exporting features.

    Cons

    I have used the clock in/out feature for close to 2 years. It has failed several times for several team members. I have gotten used to just refreshing the page 5-6 times just to ensure it accepted.

    Super easy to keep track of your staff scheduling. Took only a few minutes to set up an account and I was off and running. A staff member will need a very good reason to be late or miss a shift with this.

    Cons

    I forgot to turn off email notifications and went away for a week and my entire inbox was filled with scheduled shift reminders but thats on me.

    When I work is super convenient especially if you work remotely. Use of the app is great, especially since I don't have to write a long e-mail or call or even go to the office to create my schedule. Highly recommend this service.

    Pros

    Great calendar system,
    shows who you work with throughout the working schedule
    easy to lay out your availability
    great chat options to speak with coworkers

    Cons

    it can be a little confusing when having to change your ability after you create your repeat schedules. I toyed around with it and now I know what to do.

    We never used WhenIWork with our employees...nobody received login info or a schedule. We found it didn't work and we contacted WhenIWork pretty much right after signing up and they refused to offer any refund (we paid for the year). This is such bad business.

    Pros

    Looks fancy - good concept. The marketing of the product is well done and they seem to be able to convince many people to buy.

    Cons

    Doesn't work well for businesses like ours that require multiple shifts. We run a non-profit school where teachers take several consecutive shifts at times.

    This app has been great to us. It saved me hours of work i was previously doing in Excel. Also it expedites coverage by alerting the staff of open shifts.

    Pros

    This app takes all the hassle of building schedules and covering shifts completely our of the operation. It's versatile working across iphones and droids, has a web interface, and can even send direct text messages to your employees. I'm a big fan of the approval process for managers regarding time off and shift swap. I also like the employee export features that show time off used and (a different kind of export) a quick contact sheet when needed.

    Cons

    The option to print a schedule always prints in alphabetical employee order. I'd like an option to print in employee POSITION order.

    I like the communication aspect of it. It is so easy to send emails and keep everybody connected.

    Cons

    Every now and then there will be an update that makes it very hard to click and move shifts around. After this last update I can no longer copy shifts and move them around.

    It was easy to find replacements on the schedule, and for that, I liked When I Work. It takes away that awkward call to your manager asking for help in finding someone to cover your shift.It also elminates the "Oh I didn't get your call" from other staff members when you are trying to get a shift covered.

    Pros

    It was nice to be able to get notified when schedules for work were up. I feel like this enabled our staff to know more in advance what the next two weeks looked like. Each staff members qualifications to cover certain shifts was helpful too.

    Cons

    As a staff member who used it for schedule notification - I didn't have much problem using it.

    Pros

    It was very easy to drop and pick up shifts with coworkers that you don't know that well. Having everyone's number to text them to see if they can cover for you, or you for them, can be intrusive. This way it's done in a way that everyone can see and it is very quick.

    Cons

    It was a little hard to use/get used to at first. But I guess that's with any new software program.

    This system makes keeping track of hours, clocking in and out, requesting time off, and verifying time sheets a breeze. It is super user friendly and both the app and the website are extremely easy to use.

    Cons

    The "location" feature to verify that you are clocking in at the correct location is sometimes a bit off and you are prompted to explain why you are not at the correct location even when you are but I believe this can be easily overridden by management.

    This app made scheduling very easy and efficient. No more wasting time trying to pull up everyone's schedules and comparing them, trying to find something that works. Everything was there with this app. It took the guess work out of this aspect of my job!

    Pros

    WIW has a great design and a lot of functionality. Some of my employees found it a little challenging to work with at first. but coming from a management perspective it was very useful. I liked being able to see in real time what my employees were requesting, and I REALLY like the chat feature where I can message everyone at once regarding a broad issue.

    Cons

    It was a little less user friendly at first than I expected, but nothing too bad and we got the hang of it fairly quickly.

    The concept of when I work seems to be useful. The layout is simple and I like the color coordination.

    Cons

    I wish there was a color key that shows what color means what in the full schedule view. The website has been malfunctioning for me and when I submit for a shift it won't show that I am covering this shift on my end, by shows on my managers end. The full schedule view is confusing and hard to navigate.
