Pros

Pay and reimbursement was always on time. Annual review's were always on time and raised valid concerns and provided praise. The are annual reviews, so people complaining about one review a year maybe should step out into the real world, because that's what they area everywhere.... annual. Great place to start to see what type of environment you don't want to be in. The pay scale is what it is. They are on the low end for the industry, but not to the point where it's unacceptable. Make yourself stand out and they will pay you.... or at least they did when I worked for them.

Cons

This place went downhill, and fast. I've read the other reviews and the "Reardon favorite" comments are spot on. It 's a family owned and operated business and everyone who is/was in a management position was in said position because they were related to/dating/married to a Reardon family member. Management is essentially a bunch of kids or whomever is local that they can pay the least with minimal experience. They micro manage everything, much to the detriment or their own results. They hire people per diem for a reason, they can't keep a warm body for more than 30 days. Just see how often local ads go up for new investigators. They run through people like crazy, that says everything you need to know. Unless you live in the area or are a "Reardon favorite", forget about any type of upward mobility.

It's like a trap.

Pros

None. You think you'll make money doing 4 things at one location but they find ways to cut it down.

Cons

SIU work is paid on a flat rate basis. So if you take a job doing an interview and locus scene investigation, you get about a hundred bucks, THEN if there's more witnesses they expect you to drive where ever to collect those statements for $50 or less. Flat. No millage, gas. It's stupid.

Pros

Depending on your department, you will form bonds with fellow employees...but only because you are both miserable. The experience is a good stepping stone for learning some new skills, but mostly to learn how a company should not operate so you will have a better appreciation when you leave.

Cons

Everything! Long standing employee here who worked at the company for a few years. Been shifted from job title to job title and passed around, which normally is fine but they never give raises and grossly underpay all the staff. There is no formal HR or upper management team, they are ALL related so keep that in mind. Legal documents are not stored to HIPPA and court cases are mishandled and altered (which is illegal and if the clients paying them big bucks knew, would be a legal fiasco.) There has been several cases of SEXUAL MISCONDUCT between employees that was simply ignored. PTO is questionably illegal and the editorial staff has been verbally abused on more than one occasion. They purposefully hire 'fresh' out of college kids so they can extort them. Average pay is 12$ for a job with a skill set of 22$ (which I found out after leaving) and they will threaten to fire you for taking sick leave, holiday, or for not staying the mandatory extra 20 hours a week. Degrees mean nothing here, and if you are thinking about being paid a fair wage for your level of education or experience, you will be sadly disappointed. The company has nosed dived. A few years back it wasn't nearly as bad. No company is perfect and every business has its bumps, but this one has gone straight into the fire. Benefits do not exist. Employee safety or interest are not taken into consideration. Illegal activity in money laundering is in questioned as found out by a former accountant they promptly fired. A well versed HR manager was hired a year ago who was horrified at her findings was ignored until she left, that is a red flag. The list goes on. There is no growth Our editor manager was never given "manager rights" and was instead quickly sidestepped. Sexism is a real issue here if you are a woman, so be warned. I've witness the poor female management be spoken down to on numerous occasions and it is horrifying.
