Pros

Coworkers are generally nice You get to work with multiple clients $100 Quarterly stipend to spend on health and wellness

Cons

They expect you to drive 30+ miles regularly with no mileage reimbursement programs in place and do not pay you for the time you spend on the road You do NOT have sick time. They only give you 18 days of PTO and 7 days of company holidays. Micromanagement culture. You are expected to work at least 40 hours a week with people working 50+ hours being the norm. They then expect you to record everything that you did during those 40 hours in detail when you submit your timesheets. Do not be surprised to see emails at 10 pm asking you to respond to an email someone sent at 7 pm. Upper management expects consultants to rake in at least 36 billable client hours every week.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us and are disappointed to hear that your employee experience did not meet the high standard for job satisfaction that we set. We take all employee feedback seriously and want to continually provide an environment where our employees come first that is respectful and transparent. Anyone who might be interested in working at Safety Partners are encouraged to reach out and hear directly from us about our whole benefits package. Our goal is to not merely meet what is required by law of employers, but to structure our whole benefits package to be more generous and exceed what is required. Our PTO policy, in particular, is designed to be inclusive of any reason you may want or need to take paid time off (i.e. Sick, vacation, personal time, etc.) giving employees a lot of flexibility. During the interview process we discuss the specific expectations of the position for which you are applying. We have a number of support mechanisms in place to help manage time and the work assigned, and we continually monitor weekly hours to help avoid burnout. Additionally, Safety Partners continually works to make improvements to our benefits programs in order to best support our employees. Our “open door policy” welcomes all employees to directly ask questions and provide feedback. We want to hear from everyone!

Pros

Some independence, lots of variety, usually no enormous pressure to work outside of normal hours. Good resources to support training, Generally good support structure for EHS content; You will easily learn if you put forth effort. Most supervisors and clients are understanding, normal human beings.

Cons

Non-compete clause means that if you're serious about EHS you may be locked out of the industry for a year after this job. Not the most outlets for creativity Initially you are going to be saying 'I'll get back to you about that' alot. Very limited time with coworkers- more time with client's employees for likely two to eight days each month at most clients (also possibly a pro) Justifying every 15 minutes on a timesheet can be nerve racking. Work culture/ stress (1 supervisor; ocassionally 1 client) can be crazy.

Thank you for your feedback and for your time at Safety Partners. We appreciate the contributions you made during your tenure with us. We're pleased to hear that you experienced a positive work-life balance and enjoyed working alongside your colleagues. We take pride in the training and development opportunities we provide our consultants, so it's encouraging to know that you felt supported and had access to the resources needed to learn and grow in your role. Consulting is a unique profession and professional service. As you mention, it that requires developing skills such as managing multiple clients and working independently at client sites, along with business processes such as completing timesheets and employment terms that are standard practice for professional service firms. Our team leaders and management team are available to provide guidance in these areas, and we offer resources designed to support consultants as they build these skills. Because our consultants are often dispersed across various client locations, we also place a strong emphasis on employee recognition and creating opportunities for connection through company events and team gatherings. Thank you again for sharing your feedback and for your time with Safety Partners. We wish you continued success in your career.
