Pros

Opportunity to work on unique cases.

Cons

Terrible management and leadership. No technical knowledge and refusal to listen to anyone below "senior team leader" (read as wannabe board member). Drive to earn money, but never see the benefits of it come down to those that worked. Lies and abuse of what they try to cover as "family" oriented work environment. Monthly meetings even used the F in Cyfor for "family". No training opportunities. This is especially problematic for new staff. The burden ends up on senior investigators to train them in house. Unrealistic timelines for cases to be completed. Case managers would promise a deadline by a week, when the case files won't even be delivered until 2 weeks later. They cover up issues, and offer bonuses to create positive Glassdoor reviews. Read them yourself and look at the similarity in content and the date-time posted. Avoid this company at all costs.

Pros

I appreciated the way the company made my enrollment from another sphere to the sphere of their occupation. This working place made me learn a lot of stuff, but it worked in my favor. These days I am a valuable employee in the company which appreciates my outstanding results!

Cons

Would be great to have a more clarified career pathway, you grow inside the company, but it would be great to know how to achieve it faster.

Pros

We have incredible people doing incredible things for our clients - our work is valued and respected by the law firms, insurance companies, and corporate businesses who trust us to support them. The business is growing in all our service areas, and we have a strong drive to continue this momentum as we push for growth and more market share

Cons

As with all high growth companies, there is a balance between work load and team size - but we are actively recruiting to ensure we can maintain the level of excellence as the work load grows
