Bureau Veritas Employee Reviews about "hour"

Pros

Flexible hours and friendly peopel

Cons

Low pay and can be boring at times.

Pros

easy to learn work with flexible start times

Cons

very repetitive work and long hours on your feet without moving much

Pros

good benefits from company like health insurance and pension.

Cons

sometimes we are so busy and do extra hours a lot

Pros

Worked at BV for 9 years and made some lasting relationships. Some great people who all worked towards the same goal, more revenue. There were some ups and downs but my Division and Business Unit's members always encouraged and respected each other. Depending on your job function and group, BV offered a lot of flexibility and wide exposure to learn various markets. Work/life balance is pretty good. They are deadline driven so at time you may put in longer hours but on average the balance with flexibility helped keep a good balance.

Cons

Pay is below industry average. I went thru multiple salary freezes, decreases and layoffs. I was lucky enough to have positioned myself into various departments and took on more work. No promotions...BV feels that you should prove yourself first then they will promote you. With that approach BV is able to get out more work from the employee without paying them.

Pros

Good wages, they actually give you wage increases. Occasional free lunches. Nice staff room.

Cons

Too many hours (sometimes up to 12 hour work days & 6 day work weeks) Too much work, they dont hire enough people usually so you're being rushed on work that need to be precise measurements

Pros

- Source of income - High amounts of hours

Cons

- Abusive supervisors - Mandatory overtime (~2h/day) - Mandatory weekends (~1d/2w) - Low salary - Bad management - Overtime hours sometimes not paid with prime - No growth - Favoritism

Pros

Ability to change positions, locations, roles, move up, etc.

Cons

Top management does not care about employees, we are seen as replaceable no matter how long you have been with the company or how much you contribute. Pays low salary, expensive benefits, and no bonuses for anyone except senior management positions. Long hours and lots over time expected as normal part of their business model. Lack of transparency or openness, poor company culture. Lack of direction, changes at the corporate level are constant. Very high turnover.

Pros

It has a caring culture; It has almost 200 years of providing reliable services of testing, inspection, and certification

Cons

company operates in a competitive environment that requires long hours at the office or traveling.

Pros

Diversity and equal opportunities. Lots of responsibilities and teamwork needed.

Cons

Hours not flexible and you are constantly working harder than what your paid to do.

Pros

Certain divisions have very flexible work schedules and abilities to work from home a few hours a week.

Cons

VERY, very low pay, no stability, minimal raises, required to take the week after Christmas off using PTO or no pay. This company fires on whims, I have seen people from 3 months to 16 years get let go with no warning. This company is only worried about the bottom line and lining the pockets of its shareholders, not its employees.
