(Original )Information
What do you like best about PowerSchool?

Checklists and the way you can get archived items; I like how you can always get the former employees what they need or do employment verification. I like the reports function and the help desk is always very positive and quick to fix any issues. I did not get much training when I got into this job so I also like the fact that they offer various levels and types (in-person, online, etc.) of training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerSchool?

File management and Contracts. Can’t see the emails that the system sends to users which is a problem when a user says they did/did not get a communication. I do not like how we have to create contract templates, I don't really know how the fields are set-up and I keep making mistakes when I create a new template. I have used other CRM systems in the past which were easier to use to template. I also do no know the workflows very well and they don't seem intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PowerSchool solving and how is that benefiting you?

Online HRIS; we separated from our parent company three years ago and the company we used to implement back-end support has used this software in the past and with many other schools. They were able to jump right in and not have any hiccups with the help of TalentEd. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s hard to tell what is my district’s expectations from what TalentEd does - but I get confused as to when something needs to be “signed” and it has been sent or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
