Skanna Systems Investigations Reviews

I worked at Skanna Systems Investigations

Pros – Large company, lots of divisions and chances to try other areas.

Cons – Large company, little room for comments.

Advice to Senior Management – Be nice, treat everyone fairly, give back to your employees, give to your community, promote from within, make health and safety a top priority.

I worked at Skanna Systems Investigations

Pros – The employees for the most part get along well. If you want law enforcement experience to further your career elsewhere like me, it's a place to start.

Cons – Employees have to pester for a raise, and then get less than they were promised if any. I never got a raise even after my probationary period. Despite several rediculous incidents jeopardizing the very lives of their employees, management did nothing. We were frequently short hours on our pay, sometimes a whole week. They allow the client to verbal abuse their employees because if you quit-like me-they can replace you from a never ending pool of lesser candidates who will do the same job for 25-50 cents less per hour. A box jockey temp on their first day can get paid more per hour than Skanna's most senior middle managers on-site.

Advice to Senior Management – Lip service is cheaper than giving out raises to deserving subordinates, however the risk of losing a lucrative contract because of departing experienced staff is not wise. Minimum wage went up during my year plus tenure and we all noticed. I doubt morale could be any lower.
Why not make a phone call or send an e-mail once in a while and pretend to take an interest in your employee's work? I would've stayed if I heard the words: "Good job" a bit more frequently than never.
