Pros

The value to society by having third-party companies like Intertek test manufacturers products to ensure they are safe for consumers. UL and TUV do a much better job at this than Intertek does. Intertek cuts corners and is always looking for ways to cut costs vs. delivering a superior service.

Cons

The lack of leadership at the executive level is horrible. They consistently make quick immature decisions and have no clear path on a long term direction. Executive leadership does not value their employees or customers. It is all about turning a buck every 30 days. This has created a horrible culture to work in and continues to get worse each year.
