Overworked/ undervalued and underpaid - sweat shop

Pros

Flexibility with hours and working from home, great team relationships. Technology is up to date, resources are available and you’re reimbursed in a timely manner.

Cons

Employees are not appreciated from the top to the bottom. Zero work life balance, managers are terrible. They only want to manage work and not their people so the offices are ran like a zoo. Very little training and guidance - the mission is to get the work done no matter how many hours and weekends you work and you’re rewarded with happy hours, food and pennies for compensation.

Terrible Workplace

Pros

Build strong, technical skillset (primarily financial modeling in Excel)

Cons

The hours are long and demanding, but also thankless. The environment is toxic. Analysts are not valued or invested in. Therefore, turnover is very, very high.

Pros

Colleagues are nice and most of them, very talented, but they all want to leave the firm.

Cons

Kroll CRD is, to put it bluntly, a horrible place to work. It’s the textbook definition of a toxic workplace. There’s a normalized culture of exploiting researchers until they burn out. There’s zero empathy and understanding from management. You have 10 days a year of PTO, but even during those few days, they will assign work. If you complain or push back, they’ll simply tell you there’s nothing they can do about it. Researchers are disposable. Collateral damage. They’ll say the hours are “standard” for the industry, but as someone who has worked in the industry for years, I can tell you, that’s not the case. Everyone works weekends and evenings at Kroll CRD. Yes, everyone. And don’t be surprised if you get work calls to your personal phone number on a holiday. That’s just normal at Kroll. These are some of the reasons why turnover has skyrocketed in the past few years. People at Kroll live to work. Associates are underpaid, overworked, and per their own Kroll survey data, 80% of them are actively looking for jobs elsewhere. Stay away from Kroll. If you’re interested in working in the investigations industry, there are *so many* better companies out there.
