## Reviews

> **Denissa** | *25 December 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The features is absolutely amazing. Paycor provided a quality services including payroll and all about HR solutions
>

### "Paycor for the win\!" — 4.0/5

> **jarvis** | *16 April 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Seamless Transitions: When an HR admin marks a candidate as "hired" in the Recruiting module, their data flows instantly into Payroll and Onboarding. Users like that they don't have to enter the same data three different times.&#10;&#10;Centralized Tax Forms: Employees find it very helpful to have all their electronic tax forms (W-2s, 1095-Cs) in the same place they check their weekly pay
> 
> **Cons**: Recent shifts toward AI-driven support have frustrated some users who feel they can no longer reach a knowledgeable human representative for complex problems.
> 
> I’ve had a great experience with Paycor. The platform is highly intuitive, and I particularly value the seamless onboarding process and the added financial flexibility provided by early direct deposits.

### "Paycor for reliable HR and payroll solutions." — 5.0/5

> **Amanda** | *29 November 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: One of the best things is how Paycor handles payroll. Everything seems to run smoothly, and I appreciate that it keeps me compliant with all the necessary regulations
> 
> **Cons**: user interface. It feels cluttered and not very intuitive, making simple tasks take longer than they should.
> 
> Overall, I would definitely recommend Paycor to other small businesses looking for a reliable solution

### "Worst Payroll System Ever\!" — 1.0/5

> **Preston** | *20 January 2026* | Semiconductors | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is hard to say, I have been on several other Payroll programs and this is by far the worst. I guess despite the customer service reps being in India and having a hard time understanding me, they are always friendly.
> 
> **Cons**: Customer service is awful. I need to request help on a weekly basis and wait weeks to get a response sometimes and other times, I get tired of trying to re-explain my issue, so I give up
> 
> We went with Paycor three years ago after trying to decide between a few others. It was the cheapest so we went with them. BIG mistake. Not only do they have a TON of misc fees, but their fees keep increasing\! Their reporting functions frequently bring back back information and I get no help when trying to get Paycor to fix the issues I find. Employees consistently have issue logging in and the 450 or some people who now use Paycor in our company, not one of them have said a positive thing about Paycor but we have had plenty of complaints. I would not choose Paycor if given the option again.

### "Paycor review" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *17 March 2026* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: When it was SentricHR, it was a great customer support. It was easy to use, easy payroll calculations, including PTO forecast.
> 
> **Cons**: Non-intuitive user interface, missing features, that often leading to misinformation and unresolved issues.
