“Clunky, antiquated, not user friendly”
Pros
There are a lot of different reporting options if you're willing to dig.
Cons
This program isn't intuitive at. all. Which takes away from any efficiency efforts. You have to drill down to find any reports or functionality you might be looking for. Every step requires 3 other steps and a box checked to get the desired reports or information. And least importantly, but doesn't help with anything but the narrative that the system is antiquated - the interface is stuck in like Windows 2000. Please, Foundation Software - HIRE A UX Designer!

“Accounts Payroll/HR User”
Pros
I wasn't a fan of most of the features offered by Foundation. I suppose after a few years, I got used to its quirks and was able to navigate it.
Cons
The list is extensive. The system is cumbersome, unstable, and the customer service was impolite and mostly unhelpful.
