Pros
Started out promising, they flew me to CA to learn the corporate atmosphere. The training was more about buying in to their mentality than practical information or how-to guides. This should have been the warning that I would have concerns that weren't going to be addressed properly.
Cons
The company prices and sells their services with an expectation that anything can be done in "two weeks" and hard dates the proposals which is foolish. Often a customer sits on the offer for a day or two, once the offer is signed it can take another day or two before the actual work order got to me and the real window to get the work done was less than 10 days and usually 7 days to schedule the site visit, get travel booked by myself, start due diligence correspondence before flying, get the visit done and often lack adequate info to complete a decent report. I was forced to write reports on the plane just to meet deadlines which really sucks when the passenger on the plane reclines and the laptop is so close that the screen is 10 inches from your face, ridiculous. The job is about due diligence and the support from the company was awful. I had several times when the sales folks from different parts of the country piled on work without any consideration that others had already booked work with me. You have to take the work or be brow beat by your boss who should be the one who stands up for you and helps you get work done right. They expect miracles and won't meet you half way. It's a terrible way to do business because the reviewers spend more time on corrections that would have been addressed properly if the assessors had adequate time in the first place. Capital cost budgets aren't developed properly because if the rush to finish. Customers are under the impression that costs are low because the properties are in good shape but the truth is assessors don't have the time to digest the information. Costs are superficial because the time to investigate is superficial.
