    I have not found Workday to be particularly user friendly. I know there are many ways of doing the same thing but many steps in Workday are not very intuitive.

Dislike

As I mentioned I think setting up a job req is not particularly easy. I don't create too many as I have staff for that but when I recently did I felt like the drop down menu's were cumbersome. I also found the onboarding tasks to not be very helpful, but that might be because of the way my organization set them up. I recently spent some time in the career hub and was very disappointed with it. One it does not seem to pull vital information about myself and from future job applications into the mentor and connection area. Also the Connection tab is not at all helpful. As a director at a university it should intuitively know that I don't need to connect with every TA on campus. When I do try to filter those roles it was almost impossible to drill down to a more appropriate level. For example, it knows I am a director why doesnt it suggest I connect with other directors? Seems like a simple request.
