Most handy tool for our variable staff schedules
Pros
I like how easy it is to schedule and adjust the schedule of staff, and how they can swap and take time off easily with MINIMAL to no involvement from management.
Cons
I have no faults for this software. It's amazingly easy to use and I've had little to fault them on after nearly a decade of use.

Scheduling Made Easy
Pros
For employers, it's incredibly easy to manage your employees hours all in one place, and for employees it helps manage your own hours and keep track of your hours that will be on your paychecks, add a great user interface and very user friendly options and that gives you a great application.
Cons
A lack of mobile notifications from the app, buggy clock-ins and outs and a lack of a texting feature both on 1on1 sense and a group sense, the app leaves much to be desired.

Deceptive billing practices
The software is okay. The program usually does what it should when it is not glitching. After 3+ years of using this product, it came to my attention that we were being overcharged every month. When I contacted customer service, they were unwilling to offer any solution, rather than explaining their confusing billing style. Not even a credit of any sort. The software sells you "user spots" in increments of ten. For a smaller business, there is a big difference between 10 and 20. So, if you have 11 employees, you need to pay for 20. How does that make sense? Even when we had less than 10 employees, we were being charged for 20. Please explain to me how that is not stealing? Their whole system is very confusing. I will be moving on to a new system because I am not satisfied with the customer service I received.
Pros
It does what it is supposed to - enables us to schedule employees, notify them of their shifts, sends us a text when someone did not clock in or out.
Cons
Their billing practices are very deceptive and not user friendly. They sell you "user spots" in increments of 10. It is very confusing how to downgrade but very easy to upgrade. I urge every customer who uses this program to check their billing to see what they are being charged for. Customer service is not helpful and seems like they are not interested in providing good customer service.
Response from When I Work
Hello - Thanks for taking a moment to share some feedback with us. I'm glad to hear that the software was meeting your needs for your workplace. I'm sorry for any confusion around our billing processes. Billing is based on spots purchased, not necessarily spots in use. I can see how that may have been confusing, I'm sorry about that. User spots are offered in increments of 10. Allowing the option to select a quantity of 10 is a way to fit many different businesses needs. We've found that offering increments of 10 spots ensures plenty of room for growth before needing to make any billing changes again. I can see how having a lower increment may be helpful and really appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback. If you have any additional questions or would like to discuss this further, feel free to submit a ticket at https://help.wheniwork.com/submit-a-ticket/ Kindly, Adrianne
