      Abusive and toxic environment

      Consulting safety officer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      A paycheck? Health insurance? Stable employment?

      Cons

      The idea that this a great place to work is truly outrageous. Perhaps the person who most recently commented is a member of a upper management and wants to to downplay the fact that people are leaving left and right. This company is exploitative and abusive. As an employee you are just a warm body to execute your demands. You’ll push yourself beyond your limit and get criticized over the tiny details. Safety partners sees their employees as a means to make money at the emotional cost and physical well being of their employees. The only true thing they care about is “expanding the program” or increasing client hours. They don’t care about safety so don’t be fooled.

      Needs better benefits and more work life balance

      Consulting safety officer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      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!

      Burnout guarentee.

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      You will learn a lot about safety aspects for OSHA, chemical hygiene, biosafety and local regulations. These skills are valuable not only in this position but as well as for the rest of your career. Face time with clients can also be pleasant and the ability to move around and travel I found nice.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, the negative reviews are all very true. When you interview, just ask what the average retention rate is. LinkedIn as I am writing this says about 1.3 years. The reason is the position will burn you out in about 1.5 years. You start slow with training, shadowing others, but you are quickly thrown into clients to get billable hours. Management will continually add to your clients, shadowing and training duties, increasing workload. You are often overloaded past 40 hours, pressured to take on additional projects as demand increases. They’ll say that they’ll take off clients to make room for new projects, but they never say when. It could be months of you working over 40 hours, to which as a salaried individual you receive zero compensation for. You might get a bonus gift card, but it pales to the revenue the company receives versus what you are valued for your time. They do in fact have an open door policy as they mention in many of their responses, but if any action comes out of those meetings, it's rarely in your favor. Once you are overloaded, working 45-50+ hours, very rarely do you get out of that cycle in order to not "compromise" client relationships. It's a clients come first mentality, where you’re expected to just push through and work unpaid overtime consistently. It’s exhausting thus the short retention rate overall. So, plan on switching jobs in about 2 years and read the non-compete very carefully before you sign.

      We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us and are disappointed to hear that your complete employee experience did not meet the high standard for job satisfaction that we have set. You are correct that we have an open-door policy where our Management Team works to listen with the intent to understand in order to implement changes continually improving our work/life balance. Our policy is meant to provide an opportunity for any employee to offer feedback, at any time. When a request for change cannot be met, regardless of the reason, we do our best to communicate on the why, in an effort to provide continual transparency. We were not unaffected by the events of a global pandemic these past two years and have been working tirelessly to hire additional Consultants to keep up with our continually expanding client demands, better distributing our work amongst our staff. Our Client Management team works diligently to balance consultant schedules with routine supervisor support, ensuring that each team members schedule is manageable. We thank you for your feedback and, rest assured, the team will continue to listen and implement change in our efforts for continual improvement.
