Veterinary Technician Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good for the Basics " February 5, 2025 4.0 Workday works great with organizing performance reviews and tracking compensation. The ease of access for paystubs etc. is manageable. I just wish they would make the PTO section more user friendly and have it accurately distribute the PTO you request and reflect those balances correctly. Pros Being able to quickly download tax documents and pay slips. Managing performance reviews and talent performance is relatively easy, you have to get used to the interface of the software. My main sell point is ease of access to pay history and performance reviews. Cons There is not much to dislike about it from an associate standpoint. However I have heard things about recruiting being difficult to maneuver. Also when PTO is requested off, it doesn't not subtract from your total PTO available when when it is requested to be used. Onboarding is basically non-existent after you enter your personal info. This may be just at my organization but the onboarding feature is basically useless. Review Source CM Connor M.
