Pros

You work on your own, vacation time and sick says. 401k that's about it.

Cons

They have taken away the car allowance only pay.34 per mile!!! Manager's have no idea what the inspector's do on a daily basis. Not one off then have ever inspected a vehicle. Clueless. Key account managers are just the same. You ask them a question and you get the " I will call you back on that" which they never do. They treat inspector's as the enemy.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people and supervisor to work with. Like family. Great 401K matching benefits and generous PTO days, great pay. Free bagels and juice once a month, BBQ picnics in spring/summer.

Cons

Very loud office, too much social conversation made it hard to concentrate. Had to wear noise-cancelling headphones to minimize the noise. Also too much profanity and swearing in office. Very unprofessional. Too many daily morning meetings interrupt the workflow. Meetings held only the first, middle and last day of week would have been more effective/efficient.
