Great Service Easy Integration

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used them to set up/transfer an existing 401k. We closed out a Paychex account and started using QuickBooks payroll. It was a very simple process, we had an onboarding conference call, very simple, and were then assigned a representative who handled everything for us. Much easier than anticipated.

Pros

  • Onboarding Conference Call
  • Answered all concerns
  • Made transition from old plan easy
  • Helped with Quickbooks integration
  • Automatically process contributions and send reports

Cons

  • Password setup
  • Login challenges
  • Said email already existed, but couldn't find username via email

Likelihood to Recommend

Only speaking from experience, probably good for smaller companies, could be for larger companies as well, but I haven't experienced that side of it.

Great experience with Human Interest

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using HI as our 401k administrator.

Pros

  • HI has been great about follow-through and follow-up.
  • HI reps have been easy to work with and friendly.
  • HI handled all the behind-the-scenes details so I didn't have to worry about it.

Cons

  • Our set-up is tricky because we employ tutors that act like seasonal employees. The auto-push of info from Rippling to HI is a great feature, but, in our case, it makes things a little jumbled.
  • That the reps have a clear understanding of what can and cannot be done. I was told that we could switch our 401k to a 403b on the initial call and later told that was not possible

Likelihood to Recommend

We are a small non-profit and it works well for us.

Helpful Retirement Plan Administration

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We had been looking for a way to offer a 401(k) plan to our employees for quite a while. As a small employer, this was not an easy task. Once I met with Human Interest, we were able to rapidly create and deploy a plan, and our employees love us for it.

Pros

  • Made creating the plan very simple
  • Made integrating with our payroll team easy to accomplish
  • The website is easy to navigate.

Cons

  • offering more opportunities for staff to talk to an investment advisor rather than depending on the tool

Likelihood to Recommend

Easy to create and set up plan. Simple for staff to change their contribution levels. Would be nice to have more personal investment advice for employees.

Simple interface for easy management

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We utilize Human Interest to integrate with our HRIS system, Rippling, to make it easy for employees and administrators to manage our group 401k plan. The connection between HI and Rippling makes it much easier for us to ensure we have the most up to date contribution information when issuing paychecks. It's also a very user friendly platform for our employees to manage their contributions.

Pros

  • Great user interface
  • Straightforward and easy to manage
  • Easy integration into HRIS system

Cons

  • It can be difficult to determine who is enrolled or who has enrolled but waived the benefit
  • Way too many notifications and no real way to manage them

Likelihood to Recommend

I've previously recommended it to other small business owners because the administrative costs of managing it are so low and it's very easy to navigate, so it's great for people that manage benefits for the employees in addition to the many other hats small business owners have to wear.

For payroll purposes. Payroll, Benefits and 401k and managed through Human Interest.

Pros

  • integration
  • communication

Human Interest would be great for a large company, set up the new employee and let the integrations work. It is unfortunate that you still have to log into employee navigator to finish.
