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 ----- ### "Don't Do It" — 2.0/5 > **LaKeita** | *November 5, 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The interface is sleek. The team page looks good. > > **Cons**: Payroll is TERRIBLE. The system is constantly giving an error message that you can't fix. You have to wait on GoCo to fix it. Currently, sitting on the phone trying to troubleshoot a payroll that was submitted on 11/1. It's 11/5 and my pay date is today. > > I would not recommend GoCo to anyone. There are a number of glitches in the system and not enough support. ----- ### "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
