We have staff in four states and multi state payroll is included rather than surcharged. Our old provider wanted an extra fee per state, which for a remote team was a real cost.
Pros
Benefits and 401(k) deductions sync back to payroll correctly.
Cons
Some HR features are gated to the Premium tier at a large jump in price.

The filings just happen
I am not a payroll person and I run payroll in about three minutes every other Friday. Form 941 and our state filings happen without me knowing they happened. That is exactly what I wanted and never got from our previous provider.

No Canadian payroll, and we found out late
A state agency notice took three weeks and five emails to resolve, and I ended up calling the agency myself. For a full service provider whose whole pitch is that filings are handled, that is the one thing that has to work.
Pros
New hire onboarding handles the I-9, W-4 and direct deposit without paper.
Cons
The per person fee makes it expensive past roughly 40 employees.

Payroll stopped being the thing I dread
New hire onboarding used to be a folder of PDFs and a week of chasing. Now they get a link, fill in their own W-4 and direct deposit, and they are in the next run. We hired six people last year and it was a non event every time.
Pros
Contractor payments and January 1099 filing are part of the base product.
Cons
Some HR features are gated to the Premium tier at a large jump in price.
