I was all set before I walked in on my first day. > > **Cons**: Nothing offhand. I hear that there are edge cases for our HR setup at the company that GoCo has trouble handling, but they aren't major. > > Great ease of use. Enjoyable user experience. Never any weird errors. ----- ### "Excellent choice" — 4.0/5 > **Emily** | *October 9, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the value for your money.The scheduling and time clock and the payroll, it all gives a good learning curve.The security as great as well > > **Cons**: Sometimes, the onboarding can be a little bit confusing, but in the end it helps the employee.There are some bugs and issues that need to be worked out > > My overall experience is that I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to Use it for payroll ----- ### "Affordable but needs some polishing" — 3.0/5 > **Lynne** | *October 11, 2023* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: They are an affordable option for employee onboarding, benefit administration and record keeping. > > **Cons**: When I personally first started working with GoCo (April 2023), our support team was great\! My company has been with GoCo for a very long time, but I had never personally used GoCo previously. We had a very knowledgeable main point of contact, but sadly for us, they were promoted. We've had multiple support team members since that seem to be lacking in knowledge of the system and it's capabilities. I've even received drastically wrong information about the billing of our account as well. We've just started with yet another representative, so hopefully this one will be better. For example, we made a change request at our monthly check-in meeting. When we followed up at our next meeting, we found out that nothing had changed because a ticket needs to be submitted, and that they would be do that now. So, our request sat for 30 days because they did not submit a ticket when we requested a change. Another example is when I was making a change to our 401k plan's eligibility requirements. Before completing the change I had multiple meetings with GoCo to iron out the details on how our notifications would look going forward, what our responsibilities were as far as providing a monthly list of eligible participants to have notified, etc. One week before the change took place, we were informed that all of our plans would not work that way and we had to postpone our 401k plan change for another month while GoCo scrambled to come up with another solution. ----- ### "Good Tool, Great People" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *January 30, 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: GoCo is a light weight HRIS platform that has a nice set of features that are perfect for our size of company (less than 35.) Benefits and open enrollment are much easier than the previous paper approach. And Goco sends the reminders, not us\! Same thing with time off management and approvals. 95% of staff use it consistently and appropriately. Onboarding new hires is much easier when they can review material and benefits prior to day one. Best of all, though, are the people. Responsive and pleasant. > > **Cons**: I'd like to see more change control features that include explanations for why we are making a change. Did I change vacation because--someone made a mistake or because we gave someone a vacation day for performance reasons? > > We started using GoCo when we joined OneDigital. It's been a great partnership for us. I appreciate that GoCo includes support and not just a platform. ----- ### "Easy to use software and excellent customer services" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *February 8, 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software itself is very straightforward and easy to use. What I like the most about GoCo is its' customer service. Extremely helpful, friendly, and fast. Highly recommended. > > **Cons**: I like most of their functions and seldom use anything other than onboarding and PTO. > > I would use and recommend this software to other HRs. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/105715/goco?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/105715/goco) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
