Pros

The initial interest and excitement from recruitment was nice.

Cons

Pretty much got thrown under the bus. This is one of those jobs that if you don't "seem" like your as determined as they think you should be they terminate your employment. I was on my way to the first day of training and got lost on the way to their remote training location, (if you look it up is on a side road with what looks like one residential house). After that they placated me by saying it was no big deal and that I could start training on a different day. Next thing I know they have terminated me, taken no responsibility, and I couldn't even get them to reimburse me for all the registration and licensing fees that I had to go through for their program. Overall, terrible investment in employees and a last ditch job offer.

First of all, I want to make it clear that this is a review from a person who admittedly never actually worked for us. This candidate was expected to be at our office at 9:00am on the Monday he was supposed to start. Our office is located on a major US highway, not a remote road, it is clearly marked and there are other popular businesses from the area on the same property. He e-mailed us at 10:30am that day with a story about dropping his phone in the toilet and not being able to find our office even though he claims he was right down the street. When we asked him to come the next day, he could not confirm that he would make it. Instead he said, "I will try". We have an extensive training program, we do take the time to care for our new hires and invest in them more than most other PI companies will. This job takes determination, dedication, and the basic ability to find locations when given the address. Also, I would have been more than happy to address our concerns through a phone call, but his phone was in the toilet, so we had to e-mail. This review is technically libel as the statement about our location being on a side road with one residential house is not true at all. Please read all reviews with a grain of salt as Glass Door clearly does not confirm the validity of statements made.
