Checkr Reviews

I have never been so traumatized by a workplace before. Ever. And that's saying a lot considering the other places I've worked. Because of Checkr, I had an anxiety ridden breakdown and had to take FMLA leave. After explaining to HR the lack of managerial support (6 managers / leaders in less than 2 years); no job description or clear career pathway; racist and sexist abuse by a VP; underpayment of ~ $12,000 / yr due to gross negligence; and a passive aggressive manager who absolutely threw me under the bus to save themself - I was told I was "failed and seen and heard", that changes would be made once I returned from leave. Oh, were changes made. A few weeks later, I was laid off (feeling very much like Craig on Friday by getting fired on my day off). I was told it was because of restructuring, which is fair because I never had a job description or a real focus. I was given left over work that, unfortunately, no one really wanted to deal with - most of which had to do with minority and formerly incarcerated communities within the company. A truly disorganized and brutally bureaucratic environment. Hopefully this will change as newer leaders come aboard.

C-staff is utterly incompetent. Not a single strategic decision has panned out, and regular employees suffer the consequences of poor leadership. CEO and CFO in particular have an obsession with things like pedigree (ie: where people went to school, FAANG company history, etc) that overshadows a person's actual competency for the job, and are raging narcissists. Anyone who disagrees or doesn't fall into line will find themselves being pushed out. All the leaders are out for themselves - if an idea works out, they take all the credit. If it fails, blame will be spread to others, who will fall on someone else's sword. Culture is a joke - probably one of the most toxic and political environments I've seen. Be prepared for leaders to lead the gaslighting charge with zero remorse or consequences. The mission is also a sham - the only fair chance employees are generally hired into the lowest paying roles and then are paraded around like show ponies as 'proof' the company lives up to its values. In general, diversity and inclusion is mostly non-existent, especially at senior leadership levels. The company tends to lean towards hiring externally vs promoting from within, and generally only hires referrals from other execs (see: nepotism), which doesn't lead to a more diverse leadership team.
