Avantages
Didn't have to show up to an office every day and expenses were paid timely.
Inconvénients
An average work week consisted of working 60-70 + hours per week and only getting paid for 40hrs. This is the honest truth. Unrealistic metrics is what is making the job unbearable. The truth is there is absolutely no flexibility when it comes to having a work/life balance. A typical work day consist of starting your day off at about 9:00am and hitting the field to collect and gather source's and records in which can take up to 8hrs of your day in itself. Afterwards you return to your home office to transmit your work in a written report which can be about another four - five hours of work (on a good day). Then you have to brief new cases, make phone calls to set up meetings and handle numerous other administrative task. Before you know it you will see yourself starting off the day at around 9:00am and if you are lucky and done by 9:00pm that is equivalent to having a half day like when you were still in school. You are never going to escape the feeling of being BURNT OUTTTTT, OVER WORKED AND UNDERAPPRECIATED. The heart breaking thing is after so much of your time and dedication chances are you are still going to most likely be behind on your expected production level and then you have to answers a multitude of harassing emails informing you every given moment that you are behind XYZ amount of source units and that you will have to make this up on top of your already (unbearable) weekly work load. As for overtime this is a big NO because the way it is designed it not to benefit the Investigator in terms of allowing the Investigator more time to complete unrealistic given tasks with short deadlines. It is designed only to take on additional work or you will have your metrics suffer causing more stress just because you want to get paid for the work you perform. New hires beware!!!! This could be a good company to work for if it was not for the greed and unrealistic expectations. New hires before you know it you will be canceling your gym memberships because you simply will have no time for extra curricular activities and all you will ever do is think, talk, eat and sleep work. Just being HONEST.
