      A joke of a Company and Management team - Vice President of Sales First Advantage Employee Review

      Pros

      They somehow are still in business, but only b/c Symphony the private equity firm in Palo Alto, CA did such a lousy job of due diligence prior to buying them.

      Cons

      5 different CEO's in just over 2 years is pretty telling... Losing Customers much faster than can ever hope to win new business. They systems don't work properly; people are not paid and Finance does their best to screw people out of their earned commissions to save money. Culture is toxic -- not a positive place to work at all.

      Pros

      Remote first company Once out of operations you really manage your own time.

      Cons

      Excessive Workloads Poor choice in Team Leads Don’t get sick and if you do pray it doesn’t last longer than your FMLA 12 weeks because they will fire you! Even after 8 years of employment. Even when it is documented that they are responsible for the health issues caused by burnout!
