Pros

To be completely honest I have nothing good to say about this company. I guess the only thing I can think of is that the office is decent and clean.

Cons

Do believe every single bad review that you read on glassdoor because I can confirm most of them are accurate. This is the most toxic workplace I have ever worked in. They only allow employees to work a couple months remotely and ask them to come back full-time in the office during the peak of Covid. While they did provide PPE supplies, many individuals still walked around without a mask or practicing social distancing. The office anxiety and morale was extremely low during that time as far as I can remember. Bonuses that are promised at the time of hiring are a complete lie. I have been with the company three years now and have not received a dollar of bonus in my paycheck. Same goes for raises. Average yearly raise was less than 1%, with annual reviews meeting or exceeding expectations. That is not even enough to keep up with inflation, especially this year. Management keeps most of the raise pool for the department and leaves the crumbs for the staff below them, hence the 1% average annual raise. Not sure how HR/executives are okay with that. I have not seen one promotion. From what I have seen, the majority of the open positions are filled by management hiring old coworkers buddies that they worked with at their old companies so you have zero chance of growth. Turnover has been very high as well… I have seen positions with three different faces in a 12 month span. New employees almost every month = Red Flag anywhere. Upper management is incompetent. No real strategy, no leadership skills, ZERO communication and poor decision making. They lie to our faces constantly and push down all of their responsibilities. Very low level of knowledge in their area of expertise…. Not sure how many of them lied during their interviews but definitely a good amount must have gotten away with it. Bottom line, red flags all over the place in this company. Take care of your career and your mental health, stay away. What a huge mistake I made ending up at this place.

The office staff cares about employees, the staff is very caring about eachother, lots of after-work activities, good and honest work, managers are attentive to needs, and there are plenty of opportunities to move up the ladder.

Cons

Sometimes I'd rather be at work than at home.

Pros

Work from home freedom Boss is very communicative

Cons

They rely on ghost writing too much instead of having the inspectors write their own reports. They hire very very poor subcontractors to do inspections that give very bad info and take poor photos. No breaks from one report to the other. The report review also needs help... lots of errors in prior reports. Constantly overloaded fixing everyone's mistakes. Lazy coworkers. Lots of late late nights working.
