I can not promote Peanut Butter enough. It is an exciting benefit offered by my organization that sets them apart in the market and attracts talent. Not only do I get some extra money to get ahead on my loans but whenever I have an issue or a question the Peanut Butter team is extremely responsive and personable. They are definitely not an automated robot system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The dashboards are a great overview perspective but they are not as dynamic as they could be. I can see how this could be tricky with consolidated loans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It was very easy to set up and monitor, I didn't have any issues the entire time we were working on my loans. I also got an update every time there was a payment, which made it a little more exciting to see the number go down each month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't think think there was anything I particularly disliked. I think I would have liked a little more informaiton about what steps to take when my loan was paid off. I did eventually get a message letting me know that things were taken care of but I thought I would have gotten a little more communication just based on the regular notifications I was getting. Overall, this is a "wishful thinking" thing, not completely necessary Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The implementation process was simple. Ongoing administration takes minutes each month. Peanut Butter handled all of the employee-communications and enrollments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No specific dislikes. We've been very happy with the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Peanut Butter website is well designed and easy to use. I set it up quickly and it began working right away. I started seeing the payments show up on my loan statements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There was very little communication once everything got started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Peanut Butter is one of the most user friendly systems I have ever used. It makes administering this program for our employees a breeze! There are no guessing games, and even if you are unsure or have questions, Dave the owner will provide you with 1:1 training to be sure you are equipped to be successful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There was only 1 downside to Peanut Butter that I had come across when first using it. You couldn't load the Terminations, they had to be removed one by one. Once I brought this to Dave's attention, he fixed it and created an uploading process and now you can! Perfect! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The platform is well-designed and easy to use. My account was easy to set up and link to my student loan account. My company allocations are automatically applied to my loan and don't require any management on my end. Peanut Butter also provides great resources for those wanting to learn more about student loans and options to get them paid off or even forgiven. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I haven't encountered anything I haven't liked about the platform yet! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I loved how easy it was to set up peanut butter as a benefit for our employees. As a growing startup, Peanut Butter was quicker, cheaper, and easier to set up than a 401k and it has helped us attract a diverse range of talented folks to our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's nearly impossible to find anything we dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The fact that companies are stepping up to help with the financial crisis of student loans. This is a detrimental dilemma that needs to be addressed and being able to receive assistance with repaying the loans is phenomena. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have not experienced any downside of the program. The staff has been very helpful with setting the repayment assistance. The only issue I would comment on is that the monthly payment should increase, but I am assuming that this is the decision of the employer and not Peanut Butter.

1. Ease of Use 2. Positive EE feedback 3. Amazing Customer Service. I love how I don't have stay on-top of this vendor. Meaning the self-manage and stay on-top of things as promised. Other vendors, require so much managing you almost want to bring it back in-house. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing so far. David Aronson takes excellent care of us. I wish all of our vendors were this easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The program we were setting up through public entities was unique. Peanut Butter was super patient and helpful while we built and launched this one-of-a-kind program. They were also great partners when it came to the launch and promotion of our program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have not yet encountered any issues with Peanut Butter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really like how user friendly the site is to navigate. Having a student loan is pretty awful, but Peanut Butter makes it so much! My favorite part of the month is getting the email letting me know how many days I have taken off of my loan. When I was interviewing for my job and they mentioned that student loan assistance was an option I was sold. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't think there are any downsides- everything has worked really well for me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's a great benefit to have my employer make a monthly contribution towards my student loan debt. It's easy, automated & (almost) free money! I've continued my regular payments and am now chipping away at more and more principal each month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's worth noting that you are taxed as income on whatever amount your employer contributes towards your loan, but for me, the benefits of the program outweigh this cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We needed help to start her on her path to paying her own bills, and the Peanut Butter monthly deposit really got her motivated, I was happy that I was able to help her through this program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really wish Peanut Butter was able to help my other child, who also is in debt. I am an older father, and I'm being laid off, so any additional help would have been greatly appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE MY COMPANY CARES TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR PEOPLE ESPECIALLY IF THE SALARY ISNT THE MOST COMPETITIVE THING IN THE MARKET. IF I WANT MORE MONEY AS A MILLENNIAL IN THE WORKFORCE NOW SADLY MORE THAN HALF OF IT IS SO I CAN TAKE CARE OF RESPONSIBILITES LIKE PAYING OFF MY STUDENT LOAN SO IF I CAN BE OFFERED THAT, I'M GRATEFUL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
THAT IT GOES STRAIGHT TO THE LOAN LENDER AND CANT BE APPLIED TO A SPECIFIC LOAN. I HAVE TO CALL AND MOVE IT AROUND WITH THE LOAN LENDER MANUALLY EACH TIME. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Student debt is a major crisis, so offering a way to lower that debt and help pay off you student loans is a huge benefit! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't qualify for the program, but I am so happy for those that do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how easy it is to use Peanut Butter to review loan information. I like the Dashboard feature and the Action List! The "My Loans" tab is great because you can enter in information and see how it impacts the status of your loan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is such a nice added perk to have on top of all the other generous benefits my employer offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It was a little difficult to initially set up. There were some initial account connectivity issues, and I was not able to get through on the support phone line. However, when I sent an email I received a prompt response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The customer service has been outstanding. When there was an issue posting to my account, PB was able to troubleshoot and solve the problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy. Everything was easy with Peanut Butter.
Most vendors offer a fancy sales pitch to get you in the door, and once through the door that pitch falls apart. You find the salesmen didn't understand the complex nature of your business, didn't understand your IT and Security requirements, underestimated the Go-Live requirements and timelines, and overestimated the impact on bottom line results.
Peanut Butter is the opposite. We were ready to implement a full 3 months early, THEY completed our extremely laborious and detailed IT and Security Questionnaires, and they were available for support from the time of our business case (a full 1.5 years before we launched and they ever saw a dime from us) to this very day. They want what is best for you and your employees, even if that sometimes means telling you that your gut assumptions are wrong.
Their system is easy. Sign-up is easy. Utilisation is easy. They keep it simple, so you and your employees benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This isn't Peanut Butter's fault, just a confusing aspect of the program. The payment shows up on an employee's paystub, and THEN the next month the funds get sent to their student loan. So out the gate it feels like you are paying out of pocket without getting anything at first.
On top of that, since it is a taxable benefit, employee's take home pay often goes down. A little shocking at first.
Only way to avoid that would possibly be an integration with your Payroll system, and some form of payment made through Peanut Butter automatically when deductions are received. Almost like an ACH transfer through multiple parties. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I loved how efficient and easy it was for me to sign up and lock arms with Peanut Butter to help me pay off my Student Loans faster. I have never heard of a company like Peanut Butter before until their organization was introduced to us by our current CEO. I thought the idea was fantastic and wanted to partner immediately. Peanut Butter made it so much easier for me to pay off my loans faster with their monthly contributions. What a great conversation starter as well it has been talking with new/prospective hires we have added to our team over the past year about how awesome of an organization like Peanut Butter is to partner and lock arms with. Very intriguing idea that get people excited to want to work with us since we have such an awesome partner like Peanut Butter! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My bank account did not sink right away with Peanut Butter but after the Technical Support team stepped in and got involved the issue was resolved immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This was a simple and straightforward process, from start to finish. The user interface is straightforward and simple enough, not a lot of hands-on attention was needed. And the one time I did need to reach out, I had a great experience with customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Peanut Butter that it is such a simple program to implement and use from an employee/employer standpoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Honestly nothing. I wish I could implement the allocation due to multiple student loans but that may not be possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
