Pros

If you really can't find another position and need experience then this might be a good fit. But selling yourself for this role is really not worth the pay. It's great if you're facing a post college graduation midlife crisis. But if you're patient I recommend looking for another job. The healthcare benefits aren't that bad.

Cons

There are many cons to this role. The turnover rate is extremely high amongst the retail auditing team. You will put 60 hours a week average depending on your location. Your travel time is not really counted among your hours. You will have to drive hours on end every week. After 10-hour days, you must go home and also work on administrative tasks as well. The retail food safety department is also quite unethical, they will reverse calls and audits to make the client happy (which starts to makes you look bad as well). You will always be the scapegoat and one to blame. They will always throw you under the bus to save face for the client! It’s an extremely stressful and a emotionally taxing job. The clients you visit and audit are also extremely disrespectful and demeaning. If you bring this to management’s attention; they will act like they care but continue to do nothing. Promotions are extremely rare, and those who are promoted are only chosen based off a “cool personality”. I've seen individuals with high amounts of education and 5-10 years of experience get overlooked for an individual with a year of experience. Simply because of who the person knew. Also the business process system is fragile and the organization doesn’t really have measures put in place when anything goes wrong. The company tries to do so much with so little resources, in turn that falls on your shoulders. Beware of the sugar coat marketing tactics used to sell the job during the interview. The "you get to travel, meet people, and have a company car" none of this is worth it, and fluffed up to sound better than what it is.

Pros

Great team members. Solid mission to work towards.

Cons

Work life balance, they killed the culture and the senior leadership changes with the wind. Lack of communication across divisions. Strong preference for inclusion for onsite team; remote are left out frequently, intentionally.
