Pros
The people within your team and office, generally speaking.
Cons
Intertek's model for profit is through the acquisition of companies in various industries that have little knowledge or experience. They refuse to retain talent and experience as they only care about profit growth year over year in industries that cannot hit the mark. Cost cutting by not paying for necessary equipment and training that is required for the QA/QC, AASHTO, ASTM, etc. standards their reports certify. Their CFO has been recently fired and replaced. Their CEO came from Burgerking International. The Building and Construction President was replaced. The majority of competent leadership and management now work for the competitors. Raises are non-existent; you work for the shareholder and not your family. The Nashville office used to employ over 50 personel and turn order of magnitude in profits compared to today. Now the office is being sold for property value as a result of Intertek telling the office how to do their job.
