    Paychex Flex was a terrible experience from start to finish. Bad communication, no follow-through, incorrect setups, etc... HI has been the opposite of all those things so far.

    I don't know what competes with Human Interest; as an employer, this is my first interaction with a 401(k) platform. As an employee, this lacks a lot of the functionality I'm used to seeing in other platforms.

    Previously we utilized John Hancock which was a nightmare from the user standpoint and a huge time waster from the administrative standpoint. The very outdated platform made it incredibly difficult to manage. The one thing I miss from John Hancock is the enrollment and …

    We were using American Funds Group, but it was convoluted and difficult to understand. Human Interest calculates the numbers for us and it is so much easier.

    It's not even close. Paychex Flex is expensive, confusing, and the customer service is abominable. Human Interest is better across every front, at least so far.

    We just found the cost to participate in the mass marketed investing options were beyond the administrative and financial capacity of our small business.

    The cost for the service was better and we felt more understood as a company and felt that Human Interest took the time to explain the 401k program and options

    Insperity was horrible. Expensive, hidden fees at every corner, not communicative. They messed up my plan and didn't include the requested Safe Harbor provision and I had to pay the piper for their mistake.

    Nothing Insperity did was customer first, fiduciary, or even compliant.

    We didn't really search for others; Human Interest was the preferred 403b provider for our services through Rippling.

    We went with Human interest due to its simplicity for our small business that will take few years to grow. We needed guidance and simplicity for us to understand what will be required from us as employers to help our employees have benefits. As our company grows we know that …
