Avoid at all costs because it WILL cost you! We are a small business and gave Zenefits a try. When we very first started, implementation was great but once we were done with implementing it was/is frustration after frustration. We waited MONTHS, not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, almost 5 months to hear back from anyone in regard to our needs, questions and simple requests (ex: how to onboard an employee). We purchased Zenefits to help us. But it has not helped. It's cost us money, time, and more! Both HR and payroll have been a nightmare and headache. You can't speak with someone over the phone, everything is done through email by opening a "case/ticket". We fought tooth and nail with them about many of our concerns, questions and issues and it still took months and complaints in order for us to get someone to help us. All we ever asked is to get service for a service WE PAY FOR! Some things still haven't been addressed and some of the things that were "addressed", we later found out that they were done wrong and not in compliance to our state's laws! Zenefits is a rip off and can get your company sued. Stay away!

Affordable and Successful! We used Gusto for our business when we had 80 employees. After covid, we were lucky to even have the ability to reopen even at a smaller capacity, so we needed a more affordable provider who could give us at least the same great product. Zenefits was offering a very kind package to businesses who were suffering due to covid when we were looking to start up again. It was perfect timing. It took some adjusting getting used to Zenefits but are happy with the outcome so far! Happy that we can get help when we need it and happy that it works for us!

Zenefits honest review, recently updated UPDATED 2/8/22: The customer service for Zenefits has gone down drastically. As a long-time customer, I still don't have a dedicated rep and have to send in emails and wait days for a response. DO NOT GET THE FSA through them, what a nightmare! Zenefits was implemented at my mid-size company 4 years ago. Since then, we've experienced rapid growth, and Zenefits has been able to accommodate all our needs. The pricing can't be beaten and their model ensures you don't overpay for a feature you're not using. Ther benefits integration is outstanding and has saved my HR team hundreds of hours. Highly recommend for all modules and services. Coming from an HR Director with over 16 years of experience in implementing HRIS type systems, you can't go wrong.

Fragmented Service and Horrible Payroll Zenefits is a collaboration of a multitude of different companies that try to act like one company. Every module is monitored by a different company. I didn't even get set up correctly for the first 6 weeks , with no compensation or apology. They give me less than ONE day (approve the next business day by 2:00 p.m.) to approve timecards and payroll and IF there is a holiday, there is virtually zero way to finish the week and pay my employees on their payday. Yet, they take my money right on time- which leads me to believe they earn a ton off of interest of their clients money. Not even a comparison with ADP and Paychex but I'm stuck in this contract for awhile...don't do it.

A must have for our company I confess to not having used any other HR/payroll software before. With that said, having a trusted company handle payroll and organize all of my HR information is incredibly helpful. We are a distributed, fully remote company. Zenefits guides us through the registration process for each state, which would be a nightmare to figure out on my own each time we hire someone in a new state. The apps (both phone and for Mac) are intuitive and easy to use.
