What do you like best about MakeShift?

I like the simplicity of MakeShift. It is very user friendly and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MakeShift?

1) I would like to see more reporting options.

2) We would like to see an audit trail. Especially when employees provide availability but later remove it. We would like to see the dates and times of when it was added and removed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MakeShift?

I like that I can see other Medical Dept. positions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MakeShift?

- I would like to be able to copy shifts with employees from previous weeks of my choice, not just given the option of copying from the previous week.

- I would like to see a history of when the schedule was made, posted, and when changes were made.

- When viewing the schedule by position, I would like to see at a glance who is on schedule instead of having to go into the shift for a specific role and then clicking who is on shift. If at least, be able to see the employee initials in the positions view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MakeShift?

I like the fact I have sites and then all staff listed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MakeShift?

I wish I could block out a site, say that building or person isn't available that day. I would like to block them off like I can staff such as "designated day off" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MakeShift?

The software works great for our staff. MakeShift can accomodate booking shifts across our 5 locations, across multiple roles and different levels of certifications. It has saved us hours of work when processing payroll and when creating and publishing schedules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MakeShift?

I would very much like to see a communication app integrated into MakeShift to allow for company wide posts, as well as department and individual chats to take place. We have to use a seperate app at the moment and it is cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy app/Software to use"
5/5
What do you like best about MakeShift?

It is a small app that downloads quick, more inportant than people think. You can assign multiple administators or Department leads. One person can be assigneed to multiple departments and they all show when looking at a calendar. Another positive are the templtes, makes assigning hours real easy. Seasonal employees can mark thier availability and the managers to when they can work. The app updates realtime and does not have a lag when shifts are assigned.

What do you dislike about MakeShift?

Honestly nothing isn't to like. It does everything we could want and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not user friendly"
0/5
What do you like best about MakeShift?

The schedule view is easy to look at. But overall I am not a fan and I believe it would be more useful for a restaurant or store. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MakeShift?

- I personally find it challenging to use Makeshift as it adds an additional item for us to remember and essentially duplicates the information from our Excel spreadsheet.

- I believe that Makeshift is not user-friendly and it becomes cumbersome to update it every time there is a change in the schedule or when someone calls off.

- The requirement to "add/delete" an employee from my schedule, especially if they are from another office, is something that I am not fond of.

- While Makeshift works well for general employees, it becomes more complex with Mohs.

- The option to pick up or drop a shift is not applicable to our company as it is more suited for a restaurant or retail setting.

- Considering that many of the features in Makeshift are not utilized, it does not seem cost-effective for our company.

- Employees do not have access to Makeshift, which adds to the inefficiency.

- I am not in favor of all the admins being displayed on the schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
