Pros

Great work-life balance, support for employees, intellectually stimulating and engaging work, in-house training program, possibilities for advancement

Cons

I've been working at LegitScript for more than 8 years. Looking back so far, it has been a very rewarding career for me both in terms of experience, intellectual stimulation, and possibilities for upward advancement. Analysts start with an extensive in-house training program which is amazing knowing that we operate in a highly specialized industry. The work we do is intellectually stimulating because we are constantly at the forefront of identifying new criminal trends and patterns. It's common we get to read in the news of work we have done to go against illegal activity. Analysts are trained to think like a criminal and use the best of their abilities to make a difference. Sure, I started at a relatively low salary back in 2012 but the company has provided me every opportunity for upwards mobility and career growth. Besides that, the benefits package often goes unnoticed but is very generous compared to what I hear from people working at other companies. (For years, LegitScript has either lowered or kept insurance cost the same while maintaining a great coverage, matches people's 401k contribution and FSA accounts.) I've been cross trained on basically every team in the company and even got the ability to grow out of the analyst team and into an assistant director role on the client partnerships team. That has not always come easy or quick but being invested and giving your best to the company never goes unnoticed. The company spends a lot of time on building a healthy company culture and listening to employee input. Working at LegitScript has been a great career for me and I recommend it to anyone looking for an interesting and rewarding job.

bleak corporate culture, low wages, morally bankrupt leadership

Pros

The rank and file is a diverse and talented group. The purported "faux-mission" and foreign language requirements attract thinkers and seekers. It's unfortunate that management gives no incentive for these talented people to stay. Expect a revolving door of coworkers, and to be constantly retraining new people.

Cons

There seems to be a top-down culture of marginalizing workers, exploiting well-meaning people, then discarding them at first chance. Workloads increase every year, but the benefit package shrinks annually too. Low wages have been the top concern on the annual employee satisfaction survey each time it’s been taken. Misrepresenting capabilities to clients then trying to bridge the gap with human effort is the operating norm here, in my opinion. Turnover is around 30% annually and there are very few long term employees (for good reason). I also regularly heard my management group making fun of workers in meetings (yes- childish, personal ridicule based on appearance, perceived intelligence, personal interests, etc). Favorite targets of this male dominated group were usually women on the product team, women in other leadership roles in the company, "under-performing" team members, and sometimes openly LGBTQ employees. This went on during and after the company was conducting "sensitivity training" and issuing memos about creating a positive workplace. Yikes. Trust me and the rest of the recent reviews here. You don't want anything to do with Legitscript, its horrible workplace culture, or its anti-worker CEO John Horton. The overall working environment has only gotten worse since the sale last year to private equity firms and renewed focus on pumping the company’s perceived value before the inevitable dump.

Pros

The dog. The dog was adorable.

Cons

I have never worked in a company in which I absolutely dreaded going to work. "Steep learning curve?" Totally fine unless you put the fear of God into your employees from week one. I have worked in a lot of high-pressure environments that had a "boot camp" training period, but I always felt supported and treated fairly. The whole "make the same mistake twice and you're gone" is just really not conducive to a positive work environment. If I could give this company -17 stars I would. Coming to work at LegitScript was unpleasant at best and downright terrifying at worst. I was only there for 6 months and the turnover was ridiculous. Best thing that ever happened to me there is being let go. Oh and the salary is ridiculously low for requiring analysts to be bilingual and have a college degree.
