Pros

I have been a field investigator with this company since it was International Claims Specialists (13 years). It has grown every year and will continue to do so for many more. The growth has occurred due to client satisfaction and mergers/acquisitions of other smaller companies. CoventBridge is currently the largest investigation company in the world. Therefore, there is job security if you are competent in your job and you do your required duties. The organization has a solid foundation for work flow and it has been in place for decades. The 401K’s matching program is excellent. I have been with the company for over 13 years and I get approximately 5.5 weeks of paid time off every year with the option to carry over 1 week into the next year. New hires get 2 weeks of PTO a year. The benefits offered are decent. You can have the flexibility to manage your schedule and you work autonomously. If you are adept at working claims and surveillance cases, it opens more doors regarding your case load and additional pay. Investigators deal directly with most clients and it also opens more doors for additional work, accurate work and builds a personal relationship with them, which results in returning clients due to their satisfaction. The video uploading process is being streamlined and redesigned to be more efficient. There are opportunities for advancement into management positions. Just this week we were sent a notice that there are several management openings waiting to be filled. Moreover, you can work remotely in your home office without having to relocate to another state. The company has a tuition reimbursement program if you want to take college or industry focused classes, which can improve your work product and make you a more valuable asset to the organization. The company prides itself on being a fast paced and client satisfaction oriented organization that also focuses on its employees.

Cons

With a company of over 500 remote investigators nationwide, you will be a “just a number”; at least at first. Proven and consistent positive work product will result in you going from being “just a number” to a “go to guy” when a high profile case comes in. This is not a Monday-Friday/9-5 job and anyone in this industry should already know that. The early or late hours on weekends and holidays can be a pain; however, that it what is required to be successful.

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.
