Pros

- Relatively easy job - No day-to-day micromanagement - You’re not in an office - They DO offer benefits to full timers (the merits and value of packages can certainly be debated, my insurance wasn’t great but it’s something)

Cons

- They can be *insane* with work scheduling - as a full timer, I had to fight to get one day off a week - You WILL put a ton of mileage on your personal vehicle - while they try to offset this with a flat payment every month, it will cause your wheels to significantly depreciate in value - be mindful of this - Long commutes on a regular basis - Little flexibility in where you are going/ what your hours are, at the mercy of the scheduling team and your direct case manager - Poor work life balance - expected to get your written reports and video in same day, can lead to some long hours for all of the above reasons

In the investigator industry, the volume and type of work can vary due to factors outside of our control, such as client needs, case locations, and seasonal demand. While we cannot eliminate these fluctuations, we are committed to doing everything we can to keep our investigators working consistently. This includes securing new clients, maintaining strong relationships with existing clients, and delivering high-quality results that generate additional opportunities. Our goal is to minimize downtime and create as much stability as possible in an inherently variable industry. We genuinely value constructive feedback, as it helps us grow and improve. We love hearing that the culture we have created has been helpful and supportive.

Pros

The flexibility to work from home and have some say over your work hours is something that has kept me at the company. This is the benefit that I use to justify the cons.

Cons

The pay structure is way below averages for this line of work. Merit increases are considered annually, but have fallen far behind inflation thus far. PTO is less than what I've experienced in other similar positions. Ongoing training is sparse and seems to create time-intensive problems that would be more efficiently handled with regular training updates. The company makes no contributions to health insurance premiums, which for people like me, means that half my paycheck is gone before I see it just to cover premiums for myself and my son.
