Not login in several apps to get everything done. Time saver for sure\! > > **Cons**: I am yet to discover a dislike with Paycor.. > > Paycor has more than enough to offer. One App. that can make life so much easier with these features: \* Payroll \* Benefits \* Expense Management \* Scheduling \* Background Screening \* Talent / Work Management \* Point of Sales \* And so much more. . An ability to have all the above qualities, if not most or all companies require - this overall experience is a blessing. Thank you Paycor for simplifying HR responsibilities. Well Done...🤗 ----- ### "Accountant" — 5.0/5 > **Ashley Erin** | *05 December 2025* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has made corrected many of the time clock and scheduling issues we have had in the past that negatively effected our payroll thus saving time and money. The customer support team and tools available have been awesome and the app is easy for our employees to use for requesting time off, availability, direct deposit and seeing their employee file and work related documents. > > **Cons**: Limitation on reporting and some industry specific scheduling parameters are an issue as well as the current disconnect between the recruiting platform and the actual software, but the Paycor teams have informed us updates are coming and some of the things we need are on those updates. > > Overall, Paycor has solved many issues we have had in the past and now we are working with our team to ensure full use of the all the tools has available to assist them in making Payroll, Scheduling, Recruiting and Employee Management easier on the day to day. ----- ### "Worst System Ever" — 1.0/5 > **Stephanie** | *03 February 2026* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Mostly easy to navigate. It's difficult to find positive things as this software has been nothing but a nightmare. > > **Cons**: I’ve had an extremely disappointing experience with Paycor. Urgent payroll issues routinely take weeks to resolve, which is unacceptable when employees’ pay is on the line. Customer service is consistently poor, with long wait times just to speak to someone, and there are no dedicated account representatives to provide continuity or accountability. The onboarding process was inadequate, and the system was not set up correctly from the start. Once contracts are signed, support drops off significantly, leaving you to troubleshoot complex payroll and HR issues on your own. The platform is also not as robust as advertised. We were repeatedly told certain functions were possible, only to find out later that the system cannot actually support them. What is most frustrating is that when contacting support, it often feels like I understand the system better than the representatives assisting me. Any request, even basic ones, requires hours of follow ups, explanations, and escalations, and many issues still remain unresolved. If you choose Paycor, be prepared to spend at least five hours trying to fix problems that should be straightforward, with no guarantee they will be resolved. I would not recommend Paycor to any organization that values reliability, responsiveness, or accurate payroll processing. > > Overall, my experience with Paycor has been extremely negative. What was marketed as a comprehensive, supportive payroll and HR solution has instead been a constant source of stress and inefficiency. Critical payroll issues take far too long to resolve, support is difficult to reach and often unhelpful, and there is little accountability once contracts are signed. Rather than streamlining HR and payroll processes, Paycor has required excessive time and effort to manage issues that should be simple. I would not choose this platform again. ----- ### "Improving but still needs a lot of work." — 4.0/5 > **Jason** | *04 December 2025* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the ease of use and how everything is centralized and together in one place. I think for the cost, we are also getting a lot more than the other provider we were with. > > **Cons**: The customer service isn't the best and it is incredibly frustrating working with some of the success managers. They are not there to help, they are just there to "buy" more time, or they just completely ghost us. > > It has been okay but there is still a long ways to go. Some of the simplest things are not available still like password requirements or document signings and it is such a roundabout way to get something done. ----- ### "Good, but not good enough" — 4.0/5 > **Dawn** | *24 November 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Paycor was user-friendly and intuitive. It made processing payroll easy. Employees also enjoyed Paycor because of its ease of use. > > **Cons**: When there were errors or omissions in payroll, customer service was little to no help at all. We had missing contributions to our retirement vendor and Paycor never notified us. > > Overall, we were mostly pleased with Paycor, however, when there was no accountability after several errors, we decided to move to a new payroll vendor. ----- Page: 1 / 123\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/133745/paycor-perform?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/133745/paycor-perform) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
