US Investigations Services Reviews

Pros

work from home, set own hours, company car

Cons

not good pay, too much work/not enough time to complete

Advice to Senior Management

need more investigators

Pros

Regular pay check. Good coworkers. Time passed quickly. Met interesting people.

Cons

A bit too much solitude. Not enough gatherings, work projects together with other coworkers.

Advice to Senior Management

More town halls (with free breakfast or lunch) for employees in all locations.

Pros

Benefits package is great. A couple of the better benefits are: company vehicle with unlimited personal use (for additional personal use fee). This fee of approximately $200 monthly includes a new vehicle every 2 years, unlimited fuel, maintenance, insurance....you can basically get rid of your personal vehicle! I figure this benefit into my salary and believe it to add a good $15K annually to my salary! The company also offers fairly good insurance, but nothing outstanding.

Cons

Pay starts out as LOUSY, but they did recognize this and have adjusted it. Now....work is based upon federal funds...therefore all overtime is cut out, upper management has been laid off....and opportunities for advancement are extremely limited.

Advice to Senior Management

Add some benefits to make up for the lower wages.

Pros

Working from home, flexibility used to be nice, but hard to have with current workload and deadlines, meeting some interesting people.

Cons

Low pay, high stress, frequent turnover, no incentive pay, poor management strategies, plenty of negative feedback! Did I mention low pay?

Advice to Senior Management

Management just had huge turnover. They know what is causing the dissatisfaction. But will these new changes be better, or worse? It can't get much worse.

Pros

Make your own schedule, flexible, every day is different, meet interesting people

Cons

Upper management is all about business and will treat the investigators and the team leaders like crap by letting them go for no reason or not giving raises. I've had the same salary for two years. High turnover. Benefits package is horrible. Way too much work for entirely too little money. They never promote.

Advice to Senior Management

Treat the people that have made this business like humans! Shame on you for the way you have treated the people that have made this business what it is while your filling your greedy pockets.

Pros

Good company benefits and flexible schedule.

Cons

Poor salary. Timliness issues got in the way of doing quality work.

Advice to Senior Management

When I left the new hires were being offered a better start wage than I was making after being with the company 6 years.

Pros

- Fair
- Pay is generally above avg
- Management is pretty laid back and easy to talk to

Cons

- sick leave and paid time off are tied together. it sucks!

Advice to Senior Management

Keep doing what your doing, but pay a little more attention to what the workers are saying. THEY are what makes or breaks a company!

Pros

Flexible schedule, company benefits, fleet vehicle.

Cons

Work/life balance is not where I would like it to be at this point in my life.

Pros

I like the independence and flexability of the job.

Cons

Company believes they own you. Expect significant hours of unclaimed overtime to reach their assignments and work seven days a week. Management will never tell you anything positive, even if you are on the top of the charts in the area.

Advice to Senior Management

none, like you always say, we don't have to work for you. a 40% turnover rate for a company like this is a little high, but that's your choice.

Pros

Flexible schedule. I love that fact that I can work my own hours. Car.

Cons

Low pay, impossible to get promotion, supervisor cusses at me and talks down to me. You have to request vacation a month in advance or you don't get it.

Advice to Senior Management

Increase pay and make it fair to get promotions. I had a virtual reviewer who told me that my ROI was better than most senior investigators. 98% quality is unreasonable.
