BELFOR Group Reviews

Pros

Awesome Brand, positive and supportive collaborative work environment. Education, career opportunities and mentoring.

Cons

Can be long hours, workload vs life balance sometimes difficult to manage. The job seems more difficult than it needs to be.

Advice to Management

Keep a better eye out for burnout and work life balance.

Pros

The executives are nice as well as the employees. I made life long friends there.

Cons

Work ethic did not matter (in my former department), what mattered was how much feather fluffing you did. I don’t fluff feathers.

Advice to Management

Possibly reward people based off work ethic instead of how well they increase your ego.

Pros

If you need a job, where to look like you're working hard. You will be employed and get a vehicle with some type of lunch sometimes. Go for it.

Cons

Keep your eye on the calendar and don't become lazy or slow. It is a cultural disease at Belfor. Integrity or quality standards are not to be found. Restoration and reconstruction are avoided like the plague at Belfor. Hard workers are as rare as lightning in San Francisco at Belfor.

Advice to Management

Try as you do, high quality people are not stupid. Integrity is the inner strength that keeps high standards from becoming low standards. This is where good people differ from bad people.

Pros

Great people and get the chance to many new people from all over

Cons

Pulling a tooth and nail to get a raise, some people have never received a raise due to ethnicity Very cheap Technicians do all the grunt work with no respect, appreciation or gratitude for what they do, always getting yelled at or blamed

Pros

worked with a few normal hard working people

Cons

Terrible management. terrible pay. project managers a joke. The owner of the company flies around in private jets and cries all over everyone while paying his hard working employees all over the country and else where peanuts.

Advice to Management

Find another occupation because you are terrible at that one.

Pros

Flexibility, Employer loyalty, stability, teamwork, diversity

24/7 business, workload, ever-changing expectations, corporate office

Advice to Management

When you find a great employee, do whatever you need to keep them, have your corporate office treat your branch offices with respect and understanding
