Best company I’ve worked for despite Covid challenges

Pros

The leadership, specifically our CEO, is employee-first and empathetic; plenty of upside given our market; competitive pay and benefits; a chance to be a part of a growing company. While other reviews complain about lack of transparency, I actually think this is one of Checkrs strong points. I’m in my 12th working year out of college and have never had a CEO put in this much face time and care into making sure employees are informed. Work from home has been challenging for everyone but checkr leadership always seems to be thinking of what’s going to be best for employees. There has been some frequent change in direction but with some new leaders we seem to be moving in a more informed way and I’m confident we will win the significant upside that is coming to us on the other side of Covid.

Cons

Like all companies these last six months have been tough. There has been a significant amount of change but that is not unusual for a company in this position - I’ve been through it before and checkr is handling it far better. The frequent changes in goals and measurements have been tough on everyone, it seems like we are setting up 2021 better so hopefully that comes to fruition. This is a company going through the move from startup to larger company which always comes with growing pains and it takes the right people to ride those waves. You definitely have to be adaptable, accountable and open to change - all of which I love! - but I know that has been a challenge to some.

Thanks for the feedback and review. Variable comp is certainly top of mind for many of our execs, so hopefully we have our long term solutions. - Arthur / Recruiting

Amazing Coworkers

Pros

My overall experience has been great so far. Obviously with COVID there were some minor bumps in the road (not unique to Checkr) and we had to let some of our team go. Some of the things that really stand out: -very talented and knowledgable coworkers. -a lot of room for growth and ability to make an impact -in a good position to win the market

Cons

Can't really think of any cons. Most of the company is on the newer side so there has been somewhat of a learning curve but things are coming along.
