I will start off by saying that SOMEONE lied to me about starting pay and pay increases. With over four years experience in the field I was surprised when they brought me in at the lowest rate advertised. When I inquired about this, I was told that there was a 3 month probationary period after which they would evaluate me and my experience and adjust my rate accordingly. When the 3 month period ended and I asked about my pay, I was told that the area manager needed to be contacted about it. Both the area manager and the HR department were contacted and I was given two different answers. The HR department claimed that it was a 6 month probationary period, not a 3 month one and the area manager claimed that pay increase considerations only happen once a year... in December. Though this is the main driving factor behind my distaste for FPI, it is not the only thing. Other things include the lack of respect and praise for a job well done.
