What differentiates Paycor from other similar products?
I do not believe Paycor differentiates themselves from other payroll vendors at all.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Initially, the ease of use but as they implemented new or updated modules, there were many system failures, issues, poor service
What do you dislike most about this product?
Complete lack of service to our needs. Unresponsive account management, disregarded our issues when the system had errors, lots of issues with their benefits module not working and not rolling changes down to payroll, Excessive manual corrections from timekeeping problems and benefits problems. Lack of response when we would contact them requesting help when the system was having problems.

Stay away if you have more than 50 employees.
