Having used the platform for employee benefits, this reviewer finds it to be an impactful offering that employees appreciate. The customer service is poor, with unanswered emails and missed contributions over several months.

What do you like best about Goodly?

Goodly might be a great benefit for the employee but Goodly has no one you can actually talk to when things go wrong or you have questions! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Goodly?

On the employer side, Goodly never checks educational loan balances so if the loan is paid off, they keep sending your money in, then the loan company mails a check to the employee. The employer also has to manually send a monthly census file - that Goodly never reads - and ends up sending money in for terminated or ineligible employees! Repeated emails never get answered. Goodly is horrible to deal with! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Goodly:

Don't use Goodly. They are freely giving away our companies money to terminated and ineligible employees. They are also paying on employee's student loans that don't have balances. Find another vendor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Revolutionizing the world of Employee Perks and Driving Retention"

5/5

What do you like best about Goodly?

There's a reason Y Combinator backed Goodly. The student loan crisis is palpable, and with Goodly, employers can be part of the solution. Through their “set it and forget it” platform, we as the employer can help pay down employees' core debt - not their interest - to help them escape debt more quickly. It is such a wonderful opportunity to offer employees, and it is so very much appreciated by them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Goodly?

Honestly, there's nothing we dislike about Goodly. It's a phenomenal idea that actually works great in practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Goodly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bottom line, we found that employees were more loyal to the organization and were committed to staying longer as a DIRECT result of this offering. Goodly is the epitome of a retention tool, and it allows us to offer something substantial that goes beyond typical employee benefits. It also shows employees we care about them beyond their employment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The one perk that makes my employees feel like I care."

5/5

What do you like best about Goodly?

We have young college graduates who are more focused on paying college debt than planning their 401k. When we announced this perk - they personally thanked me for understanding their pain and going the extra step. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Goodly?

I'd like to offer 529Plans to my employees - I wish I could do it all from this app. Other than that - it's a new product, so can definitely get smoother and more automated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Goodly:

Think about what you can do to stand out as an employer for driven young college graduates who care to work at companies that care. The other thing is it's a better option than 401 for your employees since the sooner they pay off college debt - the sooner they'll be able to focus on building a 401. I believe college debt is an extremely big problem for the next generation of talent and I am looking for other solutions to attract young college students as well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Goodly solving and how is that benefiting you?

How we can serve our employees better. It helps us show that we actively care for them and their stresses outside of work. Instead of offering 401k which a lot of our young employees are not using, we can offer something that is meaningful. The benefits are higher retention, happier employees and less stress.
