Pros

Good program for tracking time and expenses. Carries over recent entries for faster updating. Internet based so it can be accessed anywhere. Visuals for remaining time off are clear on the dashboard. Program appears to have many different settings and options.

Cons

Not many cons for what we use it for except; We submit bimonthly so when you submit a partial week that was already submitted you get an error message. But it does not effect submitting the rest of the week.

Pros

Easy - for the staff imputing time & Expenses from their phones or laptops in the field. To also being able to send copies of receipts when in the field. To clients being happy that they can read and understand the invoice. The templates are so custom to your type business that it is impossible not to have a great looking professional invoice, even with people in the field for 30 days with expenses and mileage. It is great for gov't contracts invoicing

Cons

Seriously don't have 1. And that is the honest truth
