Pros / Cons
- Some of these asks could have been accomplished using a free VMS system, but we chose Rosterfy as we liked the customization and these 3 main features we needed seemed easier and seamless (had it worked like we were told.)
- Again, we were completely misled about the features of the program, now silent and we are still not fully onboarded, so we paid a significant amount of money for a half-set up system that barely works.

- The next areas I'd love Volunteer local to develop would be a volunteer survey function within the system, the ability to attach training documents right to pre-shift emails, and a more elegant design of the end-user pages.
- It can be a little confusing. If you missed a small step, it might affect your event or programme overall. Or it makes it very clear how we can set-up the page as admin, but there is little help if you're a registered volunteer and if you need help navigating the page. As admin, it is necessary for us to understand the volunteers' procedures and methods to achieve certain things, and there might be an inconvenience if we can't answer them as well.
