## Reviews

### "Amazing scheduling service" — 5.0/5

> **Chelsea** | *October 23, 2018* | Recreational Facilities & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is so easy to use for both me and my staff\! The app is user friendly and it is simple with little room for error. It saves me so much time scheduling my staff in 4 different departments.
> 
> **Cons**: My only complaint is I can’t get a push notification on my app. I have to login to see the alert.
> 
> I schedule 50 staff in 4 different departments mostly high school students. This relives all of the scheduling pressure off of me. It forces them to be responsible and reliable. I no longer spend hours doing schedules or filling in for people who forgot shifts. Love love love this program\! Oh\! And their customer service is quick and helpful\!

### "Use this for staff scheduling and organizational flow." — 4.0/5

> **Michael** | *June 21, 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This software is very simple to use and efficient. I find that it easy to search for staff member by name, position, or telephone number. It is also very easy to export lists for email and other communications.
> 
> **Cons**: I think that when a shift has been "picked up" pending approval it should let others know that there are already a bid to pick it up, often there are five to six people trying to pick up the same shift when one is on the trade board.
> 
> Our scheduling would suffer greatly without this software. I like the mobility benefits that allow for use on a hand held device.

### "When To Work is the best scheduling program for the money" — 5.0/5

> **Robby** | *February 15, 2019* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This program makes schedule departments easy. I can easily assign employees based on position, location (Categories), seniority, or other factors. It has changed the way we do scheduling.
> 
> **Cons**: It would be nice if you could incorporate the messaging aspect of the program into Slack or even emails for outlook.
