Pros
I started with CoventBridge Group a few months after the ICS Merrill and GlobalOptions Merger. And though I have heard from some that the merger was difficult (which all mergers have hurdles), I have truly seen the executive team listening to its employees and responding in a way that shows their effort in trying to solve for any obstacles that employees communicate. Also, I have heard from many employees that they see and are extremely impressed with the time and effort the executive are putting in to listening to their concerns. Not only have executives been continually prying to have employees come to them with constructive feedback, they have also: implemented many initiatives to create an open door atmosphere here. From open office hours on executive calendars that employees can schedule, committees to be the voice of the field staff to the management team, to a monthly employee newsletter that highlights employees that provides videos to meet the employees, to an anonymous idea box submission platform, to an initiative to have all management visit field staff whenever traveling, and last but not least, the constant modifying of protocols and procedures when given feedback. I have never worked for a company where I can say the management team has stopped and listened to its employees and then ran full force into making such impactful changes. I've been with companies where executives listen and it all sounds good at first, but then no action is taken. On top of the care executive and management teams, this company provides benefits that far out shine any other investigative solutions organization. CoventBridge is investing in its employees and clients in everywhere. I have really enjoyed working here so far and have been empowered and motivated by all the people looking out for one another!
Cons
I think at first the communication to the field staff needed to be more often, but now they are continually communicating and in a way that explains the reasoning for why things are being done, which really provides insight versus just saying "yes" or "no".
