It is always nice to read reviews that have a positive outlook and a recommendation for our employees. We both realize that as an employer we have room for improvement; but that it is still a great place to work. So...Thank you!!
There isn't a plan to cut wages across the company. There have been a lot a changes in our industry landscape over the last 12 months and federal and state labor regulations. (Greater scrutiny over the independent contractor vs employee classification, changes in client expectations and the implementation of the Affordable Care Act requirements) We are building compensation plans that will withstand the increased scrutiny and provide our employees with great pay, PTO (for qualifying assignments), and benefits. Yes, this means moving forward our compensation plans will not be solely based on wages. I believe when looking across our industry the overall compensation packages are very competitive. It is our responsibility to lead our industry by finding creative ways to meet the increased regulations and scrutiny to allow us to provide quality employment opportunities now and in the future. We want to be your employer of choice within this competitive industry.
Management...I believe we have the best management team in the industry; but, I agree...there is room for improvement. We provide a wide variety of services (Cat / Environmental Response, Govt. Recovery Services, Call Center and Inside Claims) and each requires a different level of management skill. We are always looking for ways to improve the skills of our management and leadership personnel. In the coming months, we will be expanding our management training and accountability programs. My hope is that this will improve the skills of our current management team and provide improved preparation for those interested in future management opportunities.
Thank you again for taking your time to provide feedback.
