Changes are not tested and often incomplete, leaving administrators to test all scenarios and respond with additional items to be updated to accomplish just one change. Support is sometimes slow unless escalated.

CompAnalyst is a great tool - especially when you have limited funds available for surveys. It is my go-to when market pricing jobs. Other survey providers require the purchase of individual job families. This gets expensive.

Cumberson process to get information on salaries. Requires a lot of forms to be completed. You have to disclose alot of personal information that they use in their salary surveys.
