ONE@Work (formerly Even‪)‬ 4+

Essential App for Walmart employee’s

I am a Walmart associate and I started about 2 months ago. Even was one of the recommended apps to download for all Walmart employees. I did not expect this app to be as useful as it is. I personally hate getting paid every 2 weeks, but because of Walmarts massive number of employees, they need 2 weeks to make sure everyone’s wages are accurate. With Even you can take control of your paycheck and decide when you want to get paid. With the Instapay feature up to half your paycheck can be transferred within a day to your bank account. Also, if you’re a Walmart associate, you get the instapay feature for free. I also have found the savings feature useful as you can set aside multiple savings goals that are controlled by you and automatically deducted from your paycheck. This app is really useful and again, a must download if you work at Walmart. There is a fee for Instapay for everyone else.

Disappointed…First Impression

I am new to this app and when I heard my employer supported this, I thought great, this would be a great opportunity to access funds for an emergency I had run into. However, the first issue I ran into was that I couldn’t access funds immediately even though I had already worked almost a full pay period. I was told that their pay period ends on Tuesday, which makes no sense because what if someone runs into a problem after their pay period ends. The second issue I ran into was that after a new pay period started, I attempted to once again access funds. However, I was told my employer has to process the time card first and then I will see my earnings show up to be able to access instapay. However, my job along with most peoples jobs doesn’t approve time cards daily or weekly but usually right after or when the pay period ends. Therefore, the whole app is a waste of my time. What’s the point of the app then? I’m very disappointed because I was in a tight spot, still am, where those funds could have really come in handy even if it were just that little amount. One@work needs to do better because there’s a lot about this app that screams false advertising. You really should be more honest about the whole instapay from the start.

Very Disappointed

I have been using Even for almost a year. It was working perfectly, and it was the best financial app on the market. It allowed me to get money from my paychecks early, and my favorite part was the “spend” tab. It organized my bills very plainly, so I knew what bills I had to pay with each paycheck. It was the best. However, recently the app is no longer compatible with my bank, so I can’t use that feature anymore. I honestly valued that feature more than being able to get paid early. I don’t understand how it worked for so long, then stopped. I’ve contacted the support team several times, and they’ve said that there is nothing to be done. Now I’m having to use another app for the planning/budget aspect. I’m paying every month for the even plus subscription, and it’s disappointing that I can’t use every feature on the app. Had my bank been more popular, I’m sure this wouldn’t have been an issue. I feel that smaller banks aren’t given as much attention during development. Even though this could very well be an issue with my bank’s software development, I think the spend tab should be available still, to allow manual input.

Hi Kayla, thank you for your feedback. You are one of the first customers to try connecting your bank. Since we’ve never worked with your bank before, we’re not yet sure if their online software is compatible with Even. This is most likely what caused your bank connection to stop. If you need further explanation, feel free to chat in the app with an Advisor.
