WhenToWork

Outstanding Product That Saves You Time

Kommentare: When to Work has saved me so much time and effort for scheduling hundreds of employees. And a lot of its components allows the employee to take care of items which allows me to focus on other tasks. I cannot imagine doing my job and supervising all the staff I do without When to Work.

Vorteile:

I really enjoy how this software allows employees to trade shifts, post on trade boards, and put in time off requests. This saves a lot of time sorting through emails and changing shifts myself. I am able to approve or deny requests and email specific employees, work groups or all the employees.

Nachteile:

My only negative for this program is that the messaging component does not allow me to edit text. This would allow me to be more clear in emails and bold specific information.

WhenToWork Just Plain Works

Vorteile:

WhenToWork is a game changer. The ease of scheduling and the instantaneous changes are crucial for our rec department. The subbing feature is top notch. Very excited to explore all of the new features of Pro. The product support team is top notch as well. They are easy to talk to, quick to respond, and get you what you need.

Nachteile:

I really cannot think of a con to using WhenToWork. It is a product that just simply works and works well.

As an employee whose boss uses this app, W2W solves so many issues with freelance work.

Kommentare: Because I can respond to my boss announcements, I can get more hours. Anything that helps me get more work is a HUGE plus.

Vorteile:

This app may not be pretty, but it is pretty useful. I have automatic notifications turned on as well as push notifications on my email. I get notifications from W2W FASTER than I do with my email notifications. This allows me to respond to emails quicker and get more hours as a freelancer. I love that I can respond to alerts in-app, instead of loading up my email, which sometimes takes awhile. In my line of work, whoever responds first gets the hours. Having this app vastly increases my response time, and in turn, has increased the number of hours I work. This alone makes the app worth it.

Nachteile:

As I said before, it's just not visually appealing. It looks like something that was made in the early 2000s. Since I'm only on the user side, not an admin, there might be options to make it look better, but I somehow doubt it. While the main functions of the app are super easy to use, the navigation can be a little confusing. Given that my job involves a lot of highly confidential information, this app should log me out regularly. Unfortunately, I'm always immediately logged in. With this sensitive information being right there on my phone, it is imperative that I log out. The only way I have even found a way to do so is by removing my profile from the dashboard. But doing this removes my personalized settings as well, rendering it completely useless. What I would like to see is an option where my username is saved, but my password is not. The password could even be a customizable number that is separate from my account password for easy access.

Works pretty well, could use some updates

Kommentare: This software has worked very well for us so far. It is not perfect, but is better than what we had before.

Vorteile:

This was easy to set up, and has many features that are a vast improvement over the free app we were using before. I like the bulk edit feature, as before I had to edit each shift individually.

Nachteile:

The bulk edit feature should also allow you to assign shifts. There are many times when I want to assign a whole group of shifts to a certain person, and it doesn't allow that. It can edit everything else about the shifts, and can unassign or delete shifts, but it can't assign them. Also, there was some talk about making it possible to to bulk edits over a month instead of a week, but that doesn't seem to have happened yet. We repeat the same schedule over an entire semester, so if someone quits or changes schedules, I have to repeat the same edits on every week. It would be nice to just do it once!

Vorteile:
