How to create employee list show on web part with all the info pulled from AD.

I have Sharepoint 2013 integrated with our Active Directory.
I want to be able to create employee list show on web part with all the info pulled from AD.
Does anyone know how to do this or can point me in the right direction?
I understand there are certain paid applications out there that assist with this
but I was hoping to not spend any money and do this myself.
Thanks

    I've done (with consultant help) this in the past, with a custom SharePoint List that contains all the profile information we wanted, then use the people picker field as a lookup reference that was used within a SharePoint 2013 Workflow to pull all the other fields from the user profile service and and paste them in the list.
    This ran on a timer once a day.
    The only manual interaction was to add new employees once upon onboarding (=1 required people picker field)
