      Pros

      Benefits and very comfortable atmosphere.

      Cons

      Management shows that they do not care about you, working in the residential side of the business was very tough, no support by upper management. since I've been there they have had 3 different finance employees, 2 different vp of sales and the list goes on and on...etc never had marketing for this side of the business , they focus only on the employment side of the business. no way to advance in this shark company...

      Pros

      Large company but always looking for ways to do it better. I feel like my voice is heard and I am allowed to participate in committees that get to change products and process. Management is new but we all feel that we are finally heard. They came from outside of the industry to it feels like they are moving the company forward in a direction that is different from other companies in background screening. More like a technology company. Most of the reviews for this company probably come from the old legacy employees that couldn't keep up with the new company. Things are new and sometimes people don't like change. This is a place to work if you like change and innovation.

      Cons

      Some of the legacy employees are not being moved out fast enough.
