Customer Experience Advocate / Quality Assurance, Elfster

"The scheduling feature was great. I manage a team of 16 seasonal workers across multiple time zones. They could enter their availability in their own time zone and I saw it in mine. Having WIW let me know when people weren't available really reduced the schedule changes once it was published."

Owner, Mid South Chiropractic

"I would recommend this product for a small business. I believe the product would be best if you were willing to pay for the highest package. Seems very-well set up for a restaurant-type of business (not what I have). It has made my scheduling easier, although it took me a long time to figure out how to use it."

"This app is used by the Kalamazoo Growlers where I worked as a grill cook as seen on my LinkedIn account. Over all it was a good app for shift planning and keeping track of hours but has some bugs still needing to be worked out"

"Their pricing marketing is completely misrepresent what they're selling. Their pricing structure is set up to charge you in blocks of users of 10 per users, which means if I have 11 users, technically we're being charged for 20."

"All of my employees are part time (we are only open on the weekends) and I need to be sure every position is covered on every shift. When I work allows me to label and color code the different positions so I can see at a glance that everything is filled, or not.
