    I am addressing the issue of digitizing and automating human resources procedures. When I first joined the firm, there was some resistance to adopting "the cloud." With my increasing use of UKG, I am facilitating faster data access and a more fluid technological experience for everyone.

    Pros

    UKG Ready is an excellent payroll administration system for small and medium-sized businesses. Payroll duties can be handled conveniently from any location with online access. Customers are able to automate and streamline crucial processes with the use of automation, artificial intelligence and machine learning, integration, higher productivity, and mobile apps.

    Cons

    The thing I despise most about UKG is not a fault with UKG per se, but rather an issue that UKG is likely to face: adoption. Adoption is not as robust as it could be because of a small percentage of long-term employees who are reluctant to embrace change.

    It has been very easy and organized. A lot better than other apps that I've had to use in the past.

    Pros

    It is very convenient to use. It has all the information that I need at the tip of my fingers. I highly recommend it.

    Cons

    Honestly I cannot think of anything at the moment. I really have not had any issues at all with this.

    Worst company to deal with

    Although there is nothing redeeming about the UKG Ready platform, the customer service and technical help are the worst parts of the experience. If you need help with any given issue, there is no way to get help from someone by calling or emailing, all you can do is create a service request ticket and you may get a call back within a few days. Often times, rather than help you they tell you to visit their Community site and tell you to scour through hundreds of threads to find the help you need from other users.

    The implementation process was a nightmare and many of the functions we needed implemented were not completed or they were left half-done. After using the platform for a year we offered to pay UKG additional fees to implement two specific functions we desperately needed (onboarding and recruiting). I followed up with our account manager on a weekly basis asking for a quote, she consistently gave me the run-around, stating she was working with her sales team on it. After two months, she finally provided a quote, but not what for I asked, rather, it was a quote for UKG to do a complete analysis of their platform to determine what we need.

    Upon making a change to one of our vendors it was necessary to create a new file feed with UKG. It took UKG 30 days to respond to our request for a new file feed. Once we were finally assigned a project manager he stated that we can expect it to take 5 business for him to respond to any calls or emails during the process.

    These are just a few examples of the horror it is to deal with UKG. They are the worst company I have ever had the displeasure of working with. We have been used as references for UKG and we have told each company to run away as fast as they can and we will continue to do so.

    Pros

    There are no positive things to say about UKG.

    Cons

    Their sales team were very good liars and were exceptional at misrepresenting what UKG was capable of and how poor their support would be after the contract was signed.

    I love being able to view payroll, schedules, compliance, and of course, new candidates!

    Pros

    Well, I’m a sales manager, and UKG allows my boss to be able to upload new candidates into the portal, and in return, I can view those candidates, and interview them.

    Cons

    I don’t dislike anything, but I’ve had multiple issues with my employees being able to authenticate their work emails, when setting up their UKG profile.
