Pros

Good work-life balance, benefits were good, colleagues were great to work offering lots of support and mentoring as needed, company had lots of ERGs to get involved with.

Cons

Spin-off is their first downfall which created several layoffs with no plan on how to cover omitted positions....should have left business as it was. Lots of work with little to know direction, management sets up others for failure due to lack of development/mentoring, too many chiefs!

Pros

My co-workers are certainly the best part of working at Fortrea and the option to be a remote employee is certainly a benefit.

Cons

Not much consideration for the employee's and their personal growth. Upper management is too BUSINESS focused and not spreading the focus enough on the business and the people who make it work. During the "Spin-Off" employees went 1mo without access to HSA/FSA funds and could only verify insurance information M-F, 8am - 5pm. This was very inconvenient for any employee who had a medical emergency outside of normal business hours or on the weekend. And not having access to employee contributed HSA/FSA for one month was extremely inconsiderate to employees who may have an emergency and cannot verify coverage which means paying out-of-pocket. Employee focus during spin-off from Labcorp to Fortrea was not employee focused at all.
