Pros

great coworkers, fun environment, autonomy to perform job

Cons

ever since being bought out by VRC, the company has taken a giant dump in quality. nearly 3/4 of the staff working when i started was either fired or quit before the start of 2020, the managers in Texas were the complete opposite of transparent when it came to expectations and the transition to their way of working. senior employees prior to the buy-out were essentially demoted to entry level grunts with nothing to do. what was once a very generous benefits package suddenly became paying twice what i once was for insurance that was actually significantly worse in every aspect. new management often outright lied about things to their new employess, such the president and ceo himself promising 100% that no layoffs would be forthcoming due to covid-19, but along with myself, another solid half of my former coworkers are out of work with not even a single day notice less than a week later. unless probe finds itself once again free of this disgusting new parent company, i would never recommend working for VRC ever again.

Pros

Bosses and employees cared about their work. People followed through on tasks and committed to being excellent and having integrity. Raises were actually in the $’s and you felt acknowledged financially and in your work.

Cons

Very high expectations and stress.

Pros

As a field investigator for 3 1/2 years I have found the job very exciting. We make our own schedules, meet new people constantly, and work independently once fully trained. The job is also challenging in that we must meet deadlines to keep happy clients but management assists with balancing the workload when needed. Management also consistently asks how your workload is rather than just demanding that you take on an unrealistic caseload. Of course, being organized and self-driven is the key to managing your caseload, and key to an investigator's success. The company is growing which is a tribute to the integrity and stability of management and the employees they hire. My favorite part of the company, other than the investigative work itself, is the life/work balance. We make our own schedules so doctor's appointments, errands during the day, etc. are ok as long as we get the work done and can be reached if needed. I cannot comment about what it is like to work in the office because the investigators work from home. We can drive up to 4 hours from home for an investigation, but we are paid for driving. PROBE has become great with rewarding good things that employees do which I thought was lacking just a bit when I first started. Management is always looking for ways to improve and they listen. If you are independent, self-motivated and like to be in different places everyday, PROBE field work is for you!

Cons

Sick time is not paid, but you can use PTO for that if you need to.
