Pros

Some talented colleagues who genuinely care about their work.

Cons

• The workplace culture at Checkr is toxic and heavily political, especially within Operations. If the VP and Senior Director of Ops don’t favor you, you’re likely to lose your job quickly. They only hire their buddies from previous companies and are very clicky. • Checkr promotes a high performance culture but fails to reward employees accordingly. Merit increases are minuscule, often capped at 1.5%. Management is discouraged from giving higher performance ratings to limit salary increases, which fosters dissatisfaction and demotivation among employees. In fact, during the recent layoffs in April, they managed to let go of high performers after shoving it down our throats that high performance was the best way to prove our worth. • There's a lack of transparency in decision-making processes, particularly regarding performance evaluations and career progression.

Pros

Great insurance. Learning Stipends, etc

Cons

-Senior leadership only cares about what is new and shiny. -They treat AI like a religion. Forcing everyone to use AI for everything as though we don't realize that the end goal is to eliminate our roles - All Hands Meetings every month where Senior Leadership pats themselves on the back while ignoring any existing issues. - Support is treated like a necessary evil instead of a fundamental part of doing business. Would prefer to ship the roles overseas or replace with AI - Extremely high attrition for Senior Leadership.
