Works great! Syncs with QB.
Overall it's a strong product with all the features most people will need for their business. I used it for 2 restaurants and was very pleased with it. It's great to have all your finances in a single place.
Pros
I liked that it allowed me to keep my business finances in one place. It was easy to use and less expensive than a payroll company like ADP or paychex.
Cons
The accounts in my chart of accounts it setup would sometimes be confusing.

Quickbooks Payroll don't be fooled
If you have a simple payroll this is not a terrible product. If you have employees in multiple states, I would not recommend.
Pros
The integration with Quickbooks online was a key factor. It is also very easy to use once the setup is complete.
Cons
The customer service is non-existent. I have a client that uses the full service payroll, and if there is an error where Quickbooks is at fault, it is impossible to ever get them to pay for the error, they will admit the responsibility, but they will not pay for the responsibility. The customer service is tiered so you never speak to a decision maker even when the error is a significant dollar amount. I had this issue in two cases. 1. Quickbooks processed a duplicate payroll costing my client $15,000+ and despite full documentation that they were responsible, they would not pay for the error. 2. I set up a new client on full service payroll with employees in the state of Nevada. QB did not support filing one of the taxes required for the state. They did not disclose this and admitted that they did not disclose at the beginning nor did they prompt the client to file the return when it came due. Quickbooks did take responsibility for the error by admitting it, but they would not take responsibility for the taxes and penalties.

Best, easiest to use and cost is comparable to many other systems
It's critical in any business to have your employees be able to depend on consistent and accurate pay. That's all they ask of their employer. I consider it my highest obligation to make sure and get this right for them.
Pros
Easy to use, flexibility of payperiods, handles tax deposits and most quarterly reports, reporting is customizable so I can do research and troubleshooting whenever needed.
Cons
So far I haven't found anything I don't like. If I ever have a stumbling block, it's answered by contacting customer service.
