Pros

Current employees are wonderful and work hard. Location is close to restaurants and shopping.

Cons

The company owner: -Forces employees to come to the office during treacherous snow and ice conditions (non essential employees) and you have to use your limited PTO if you cam’t make it in. -Salary is far below market value. -Does not pay for overtime work. - Will tell you to leave as soon as you give 2 weeks notice to avoid paying you for the last two weeks when you quit. -Will say slanderous things about you if you list him as a reference for a new job.. -Has cameras throughout the office to watch you while you work. -If you are in the sales department, he will try to steal your sales so he can keep the commission. -Does nothing to hold onto great employees. -Generally unpleasant to work with.

Thanks for posting your sentiments regarding First Contact HR. I can assure you that our employee pay is fair and competitive within our industry; and I can further assure you that we ALWAYS pay overtime pay, when it is appropriate to do so (as defined by the DOL & FLSA). We have made enhancements to our employee recognition program, and continue to offer great incentives and benefits to our employees. While it didn’t work out with you being employed with us, we wish you luck in your future positions.

Pros

DO NOT WORK HERE! You are better off taking a job at Target. There is absolutely no office morale here and the two supervisors will just push you out unless they choose you as a favorite, they make EVERYTHING personal; completely unprofessional. Also told the owner about the supervisors behavior unfortunately by the time he took action I was already ready to leave this company.

Cons

No direct deposit Pay Undervalued Supervisors Things are made to personal at this company. You would think as a private owned company it would be more if a family based company but it’s not . You get only 80 hours PTO FOR THE WHOLE YEAR NO RESPECT

Thank you for taking the time to post your thoughts, regarding First Contact HR. Since your time with us was relatively brief, perhaps you were not able to fully appreciate, nor able to accurately gain a true picture as to the environment here at First Contact HR. We are a pay for performance organization, and we know that our pay is competitive within our industry. Additionally, our Total Rewards Package is more robust and competitive than most companies of our size within the industry. We offer 13 paid company holidays, two of which are optional, in addition to the Paid Time Off (PTO), comprehensive health & dental , 401k, gym subsidy, tuition assistance and life insurance. These benefits, coupled with our competitive pay, position us in a favorable light with our staff. Employee and new manager training is an area we are continuing to invest, as our employees are our greatest asset. Wishing you luck in your next chapter.

Pros

There are no pros to this company. This is a 20 word minimum section and there isn't anything positive I can think of.

Cons

CEO - unethical liar who refuses to pay his employees the money they deserve, will listen in on your conversations, unapproachable, overall an extremely shady person and when you go to put your two weeks he bashes you and tells you he can't give you a positive review for new jobs. Pays men more than women. Supervisor- would rather gossip behind your back then do anything else during the day. Generally unpleasant to be around. Colleagues- wonderful people who are all looking for a new jobs.

Thank you for taking the time to post your candid feelings, regarding First Contact HR. While it is unfortunate that things did not work out with your employment with us, I can assure you that the aforementioned items are simply not true. We are an equal opportunity employer, and as such, pay our staff fairly and competitively, regardless of gender. As you are aware, we are in the business of conducting background investigations and handle highly classified information. Accordingly, it would simply be in poor taste and go against everything our company stands for to “gossip behind your back." Again, it is unfortunate that you were not a fit with our company, and it should be evident that Management, is in fact involved with its workforce, listens and wants to ensure the best workplace for its entire staff. Good luck on your future endeavors.
