Pros
Casual dress code Merge Events (potlucks, spirt days, etc.) Nice coworkers
Cons
From the start, you could tell there were problems within the company. If you asked anyone what they liked and disliked about the company, the cons outweighed the pros. Although this may be considered an entry level job, the pay is absolutely appalling. The pay is all over the place as well. It is so common that someone who started the same time as you or after you is either making more or less than what you are making. Although the hire rate changes constantly, the CEO does not bring anyone making less than the new rate up to the new rate. When it comes time for the annual review, don’t expect anything more than a few cents. This company does very well for itself due to how hard the employees work, but the pay would suggest otherwise. Any other entry level job pays more than this job and people are literally investigating insurance fraud and domestic cases. The turnover rate is horrendous! Merge Investigations has a nonstop revolving door. Not many people make it past the one-year mark. Most of the people who have been there longer than a year are in management. Instead of raising pay or doing something to change the problem of the turnover rate and the unhappiness of most of the employees, the CEO decides to throw events. Which is nice, but it doesn’t make up for the fact that bills need to be paid. There is a supervisor working at Merge that is ill placed. There is never any proper feedback given and the only thing an employee gets once a week is a word document with all the mistakes one did without any explanation of how to improve or what to change for next time. There are reviewers that put in little notes to help aid the investigators, but the supervisor takes them out. If you want your employees to make progress, a person in leadership should go to said employee and explain what they did wrong and how they can improve. Instead of gossiping to other employees about the mistakes that the other employee is making. It is very unprofessional, and the higher-ups don’t do anything about it.
