“Quick onboarding, helpful support”

Pros

It was really simple to get started with a new job. The setup was clear and easy to follow, so I never felt lost, and support answered my questions quickly.

Cons

It still does not feel very mobile-friendly. I would love a version that works better for people who are often on their phones.

Updating documents has been a little tricky. I am not sure if there is a file size limit or if I am missing a step.
