Pros

The staff is knowledgeable and great to work with.

Cons

The mission of Cisive to become one of the largest global background investigation firms has gone astray, where there was once great potential. C-Suite has been replaced almost entirely after GTCR's acquisition, and the company's direction seems precarious. Many jobs were lost along with the knowledge of the subject matter experts who were dismissed. The resulting services provided to the clients have declined due to loss of knowledge, lack of proper management, and faulty automation processes. GTCR, as an investment firm, has opted for the cheapest labor possible by dismissing American employees and increasing staff at our foreign offices at the lowest possible wages required by those countries' standards. The investment in its remaining employees has declined with many offices closing and Christmas bonuses being a thing of the past for most of the lower-level staff. They have disbanded the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusive Committee, leaving many employees wondering what this means for the culture of inclusivity that was once held dear. This company was, at one time, headed for greatness. Unfortunately for the employees, clients, and consumers, greatness has been traded in for automation and cheap labor.

Pros

Great team members, love the remote working environment, and recognition for hard work is common. The company is doing very well managing through the tough economic environment even though difficult decisions are being made to adjust to the marketfluctuations.

Cons

Can be difficult to stay connected with remote work and some leaders are better at it than others. More consistent communications from the top would be ideal.

Pros

Remote work, good people, unlimited time off if you are able to use it.

Cons

Little recognition for people who put in long hours and want the company to succeed. 2% annual raises don't offset cost of living increases.
