Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • Awardco is simple and easy to use. Even for me and that is saying a lot. Thank you! Even I could figure out how to get what I wanted with only a little help from others in the family.
  • I like this because it feels like a treat from the company recognition of you doing a good job. I’m just wanting to represent their employees within nice reward.
  • I like how it's a very easy platform to navigate for anyone. Multiple choices on complimenting coworkers, and also receiving compliments or encouragement. And awesome how easy it is to exchange these compliments for physical rewards!
  • I love that there are so many options to spend our Awardco points! I buy things from health items like protein shakes, and small hand weights. I get sheets and batteries and everything in between.
  • I think it’s very thoughtful and considerate of the company to just add another incentive. We already have great benefits and they are always trying to do something else just to help out in any way possible it just goes to show me just how much they appreciate us. They never stop showing us.
  • It's a very easy page to navigate, its pretty fast to pull things up and view others and friendly page.
  • Love it s easy to use and has tons of options and easy to navigate around the app and the virtual gift cards are almost instant when you select one.
  • I spoke to a few different people at Awardco, and every person I spoke to was beyond helpful and very nice after a couple of months because of Awardco I was able to pick my gifts, i was so excited browsing through everything I could get. I will never forget how helpful the employees at Awardco were to me, thank you.
  • Awardco is a great platform for us, as employees, to boost each other up, raise morale and give incentive.
  • Awardco adds extra excitement to "thank you" with the possibility of accumulating points for prizes. I love to be able to give Awardco points as a thank you and I really appreciate receiving them as well. I saved my points to get Airpods and LOVE them. I feel like they are a token of appreciation from my company and colleagues - I love that. I really love that our company has implemented a meaningful way for colleagues to show appreciation.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • They provide perks to a ton of different places. They have cool tools to motivate our employees. Big fans!
  • When working with the team, we use Nectar for incentives for the team which is a great tool to motivate them and help them reach their monthly KPI's (Key Performance Indicators)
  • Nectar is very easy to use. The overall design is simple and navigation is easy. The new shout-out box has buttons for adding people/points/hashtags instead of relying solely on keyboard shortcuts like @ and +, which makes the process a little easier, especially since you can search the people box for names The social-media-like layout that allows employees to see other employees' feedback and add their own points or comments is great. In my opinion, it encourages keeping an eye on what's going on so that people can share in the success of others and help to build them up as well.
  • Ease of Access, sendable Gifs, I like that all employees are listed and not just the ones that work in the offices.
  • -Very very easy to share a quick message thanking/congratulating a coworker. No need to navigate multiple pages or menu's, it's done straight from the field where you post. -Notifications allow you to go back and review your shout-outs which is nice, instead of them being forgotten. -Customer Service was very helpful when I had an issue regarding my points not appearing correctly.

Cons

  • It doesn't get used as much for our company and only motivates some.
  • The point system can be a bit confusing in that we cannot check to see which ones are live and which ones have expired.
  • There's no option for an employee to choose whether or not their birthday is published. An admin has to remove the birthday from the employee's account if they don't want it published on the day of. Clicking on a notification to see a shout-out in the timeline rarely works. If enough time passes, clicking on a notification just refreshes the page without actually taking you to the shout-out. If you need to read an older one, you've got to go into your account and read your activity instead.
  • Lack of pts to give away, it would be more fun if we were given like 200pts per month, or 50per wk.
  • Only con was my points seemed to reset and not rollover after my first month - However a quick e-mail chain w/ Customer Service resolved the issue, and it was likely my own error that caused it.
