“So many errors”
Pros
We are using the payroll feature and it took a lot of effort to set it up initially. Also we don't see much value in rolling out the other modules we purchased because, shortly after we signed on, the company was acquired by Ceridian which only plans to support the products for another year and a half.
Cons
Well we constantly have to fix errors made by Ascender's outsourced payroll team. What made it worse was that right after we signed up, the company was sold meaning the products we invested in would not be supported or improved once our initial contract ended.
