LegitScript reviews about "salary"

• Aggressive growth targets can be stressful

I feel like I am paid a little low for my STEM education + hard skills +experience, (In addition, lower end of compliance analyst salary for Portland, OR according to Glassdoordotcom.) but at the very least, I can definitely grow here and feel as though I am an important contributor to our team. Also, I have heard scary things (reviews below) about other analyst positions and from that all I can gather is that it really depends which team you are on. My team happens to be wonderful, curious, and able to explore our investigative curiosities and celebrate our triumphs but some of our other larger teams-I hear they are over worked and under appreciated for their efforts.

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.

Again, coming from retail, I don't really have a lot of cons about this place. Legitscript was a really good improvement from my old jobs so I am very satisfied!

Salaries way below market. They've been promising to improve on that front for years, but the employee surveys are simply not listened to. There's a lot of possibilities for growth - growth of responsibilities, stress and workload, not of incentives or compensation. Morale is at an all time low due to micromanagement.

Salary too low to live comfortably. Company focuses on large scale and fast growth and development, at the expense of work/life balance and compensation for individual contributors. Execs seem far removed from the work and company mission. No incentives for hard work/lack of merit-based rewards. Limited opportunities to move up in roles.

One of the biggest cons is salary. The job I left LegitScript for is similar but pays quite a bit more. The way leadership talks about valid salary concerns in meetings comes across as very dismissive. There can be issues with transparency and being unprepared for new clients or programs. Unreasonable expectations and high pressure to deliver without adequate resources are a common problem. That can make the work environment very unpleasant. This is mostly coming from leadership; direct managers tend to be more reasonable here. LegitScript has improved here in someways in recent years, but it is still a big issue.

Do not work here. This is a sinking ship. Everything that made this company worth working for has been slowly stripped away. We used to have 6 weeks of flex time off but they took that away and stripped it to 4 weeks with only a single week of carryover. We were told in a highly passive aggressive email that it was the fault of new employees for using their time off too soon that the policy was changed. We used to be salaried with highly flexible schedules but they switched us to hourly. We were somewhat ok with this as we were guaranteed 2 hours of overtime. They have recently taken the overtime away as well for cost cutting. We're the ones who need that money to feed ourselves and pay rent, not this multi million dollar company that boasts about their profits on a regular basis. If you live on the West Coast where this company is based, the salaries are unsustainably low. Don't even think of working here if you are on a single income, you won't make it. There is very little opportunity for upward mobility and when you are promoted, the promotion pay raise just takes the place of your annual pay raise meaning you would have made around the same amount more if you were promoted or not. The company recently hired on a contractor as a permanent manager who has since begun laying off beloved coworkers. These were incredibly hard working employees who were replaced by people the company feels they can pay less while doing the work of multiple people. Finally, even if you ignore every previously made point, do not work here because the skills are not transferable. This is largely not a tech company. Analysts are doing hourly grunt work. There is little to no opportunity for career growth. You will work until you are burned out and then realize you have nowhere else to go because any similar companies require tech experience. P.s. I didn't even cover the lack of diversity, two faced upper management, or the lack of tech support (our systems have been broken on and off for months) but note these are also issues
