Pros

Depending on the department the experience can be great!

Cons

Outdated payroll system all entries are done manually for leave absence. Finance needs to replace the ERP system; it is also dated and not user-friendly. No training is provided by Finance on the ERP systems; non-finance employees must rely upon their department to provide training which they may have limited knowledge of the system depending on their scope of work.
