Wonderful app for small businesses
09/20/2019

I worked for a small business where this app was set up fort company to allow us to connect to other stores and districts. This app allowed my store to be updated on floor sets and visuals, share info on our favorite merchandise, and even post connections with customers. It allowed me to be recognized and travel with my company. It is well organized to the point we could help other stores find prices for items missing tags. I hope to reach out to the bigger company I work for now to use this app. You can keep updated and on track with everything in your business/company in a comfortable and fun manner.

The worst of both worlds

Workplace seems to be a Facebook clone that's worse. Its product design and specifically its algorithms for displaying content are more aligned with how social media outside the workplace operates, rather than creating a new tool with the correct user intention baked into the design. I understand that the ability to reuse components was probably a key driver in this, but it really feels like there was no thought behind the intended user group and intentional usage changing to be work-focused. Is this a water cooler tool or an announcement tool? Who's to say, both types of posts are mixed together and displayed based on Facebook's opinionated algorithm reused from regular social media rather than letting employees, teams, leadership, etc cater their experience to their needs. Workplace is also designed to be addictive in the way regular Facebook and Reddit are, and it's easy to waste hours reading through nested comments on a post to find the answer you're looking for, and the odds of duplicate comments increase due to this nature. The UI for threading is distracting and this product has somehow managed to make people both spend more time at work and less time working.As a wise Freckle once said, sometimes things that are more expensive are worse, and this certainly is the case for W×M.

Best product on the market

As a business owner, this is one of the best platforms on the market! As an admin it is seamless to use and even more importantly - easy to locate documents within the prior data feed posts. Online video conferences that allow to record is a loved feature for our office. It is great for those who are on the go and cannot attend office meetings for the full meeting. I just can’t say enough about this product. The only thing it does not have is a built in calendar. Other than this, our office need is checked off with the features available in this product.

I only work two days a week and you can’t turn off the notifications unless you are on the clock but this app will blow up your phone with notifications about posts that I don’t care about because they are not from my store and they do not pertain to me (I work for Walmart.) Also, when I am on the clock and trying to use work chat, it is hard to hear it because you can’t turn up the volume or change the ringtone of the sound on the app. Most people have to have one earbud in their ear so they will hear when they have a message or a call. Many times I have tried to message or call someone using work chat and they don’t hear it ring or see the message until it’s too late and it doesn’t matter anymore.
