Pros

none other than industry experience and matching 401k

Cons

You are just another number to them, Company does not care about its employees, took a 6 grand pay cut when ICS Merrill and Global Options merged. New System is a joke, case manager does not reply to updates, questions or suggestions. They set you up to fail. No chance of promotion unless you live near one of their two main offices. Promised raises for 2 years have yet to see one despite the great results i get for them and their clients. Communication between management and investigators is atrocious. Dave Merrill will nickle and dime you on everything possible to save a buck or two, including report time, driving time, per diem for vehicle, cell and internet reimbursement. Stay away

In the investigator industry, the volume and type of work can vary due to factors outside of our control, such as client needs, case locations, and seasonal demand. While we cannot eliminate these fluctuations, we are committed to doing everything we can to keep our investigators working consistently. This includes securing new clients, maintaining strong relationships with existing clients, and delivering high-quality results that generate additional opportunities. Our goal is to minimize downtime and create as much stability as possible in an inherently variable industry. We genuinely value constructive feedback, as it helps us grow and improve. We love hearing that the culture we have created has been helpful and supportive.

Pros

The flexibility to work from home and have some say over your work hours is something that has kept me at the company. This is the benefit that I use to justify the cons.

Cons

The pay structure is way below averages for this line of work. Merit increases are considered annually, but have fallen far behind inflation thus far. PTO is less than what I've experienced in other similar positions. Ongoing training is sparse and seems to create time-intensive problems that would be more efficiently handled with regular training updates. The company makes no contributions to health insurance premiums, which for people like me, means that half my paycheck is gone before I see it just to cover premiums for myself and my son.
