Pros

None - totally broken company with top management trying to line up their pockets from robbing employees & customers alike

Cons

CEO wants a Dictatorship, all senior leaders have been forced to leave, bunch of cronies from her previous company hired who are absolutely rude, incompetent, disrespectful....CEO following the classical method of showing results by robbing everyone in the name of cost cutting...expects a perfect world without spending a dime....no concern for employee workload....if you want to do 2-3 person job, get not even a thankyou in return just for a sub-standard pay check, join BV North America..

Pros

There are no pros to working at this company. Okay, I lied, there is one....your direct deposit will always go through.

Cons

After working for this company for over 10 years I learned that unless you are a middle aged man, you aren't going to move up in this company in position or salary. They don't care if you have a family, in their eyes you live to work for them. Very top heavy management who get ridiculous raises and bonuses every year, yet the people actually doing the work don't qualify for bonuses and barely get a cost of living raise. The COO, Isam Hasenin, has broken so many HR laws it's ridiculous. If you're a woman trying to get into a management position, good luck.

Most unethical company I have ever worked for.

Pros

I met my now fiance while working there. Other than that the job paid the bills.

Cons

Where do I start? This company exploits it's workers and requires many of its hourly employees to be on-call 24/7 while failing/refusing to compensate them for this time. It is an indisputable fact that the company shorted my fiance out of hours that he had worked. My now fiance complained frequently and openly about being shorted on his checks. When he discovered this he brought it to the lab managers attention. I was under the impression that the company had paid him for his time, but it turns out this was not the case. After he was fired for making issue of his unpaid time he sent some e-mails to the lab detailing the extent of the companies fraud against him. At this point in time I was not dating him. When business slowed this company moved fast to trim half of the hourly laboratory staff at the location I was working, in what would be best described as a short sighted decision. Luckily I kept my job, but went from working a 4-on-4 off schedule to working an on-call schedule where it was theoretically possible to be required to work in the lab for a period of 72hrs straight. I did not keep my job for long however. At some point from when the company fired my now fiance to when the company fired me I had became involved with my fiance. Once the company found out that I was indeed romantically involved with my fiance the management began interrogating employees as to the extent of my relationship with my illegally fired fiancee and rapidly moved to terminate my employment under false grounds. The reason this company cited for letting me go was that I did not answer my phone... despite the fact that no effort to contact me by anyone at the company is reflected on my itemized phone bill. Add to this the fact that I had not been written up for anything while working at the sites Seabrook location. Add the fact that I am aware of several other employees who were actually contacted (one even patently refused to answer his phone) and either no action was taken, or a series of write-up events occurred prior to their termination. After summing up all of these parts I have a pretty great FLSA retaliation case by proxy against the firm which should be filled once my finances case gets settled. Once "Rossley v. Inspectorate America Corp" concludes be on the lookout for "Pawkett v. Inspectorate America Corp".
