Pros
The pro's went out the door back in March when Dave Merrill bought Global Options. With that being said, there are no pro's and you may want to read the next box moving forward.
Cons
With that merger brought the end of the company paid holidays at least for the investigators. The office staff still have all there paid holidays. Then again, according to the management, the investigators are quoted as "Front Liners" and are expendable. Also all the investigators lost a weeks paid vacation. All in all, that's $3000 per investigator back in Dave Merrill's pocket. They used to give the investigators $0.15 a mile while billing the clients $0.55 a mile, now no miles are paid to the investigators. Instead now they give you fuel cards and cell phones to for only one purpose and that's to track you. The reporting system also requires you to have a PHD to navigate versus the much more proficient and user friendly Global Track system that Global utilized. Your expenses are taxed which makes no sense. Lastly with the merger, there are too many investigators to get work cause there are now two companies to feed work to. Former ICS Merrill employee's didn't get work before and now it's a company wide epidemic. Stay clear from this company as many of us are also looking. In the last 2 months approximately 50 investigators and case managers have left and that may double in the months to come.
