Pros

Commissioning Agents Inc. Europe is a rapidly growing, unique, employee owned company. its tag line for customers is 'When you need to meet a higher standard' and this is certainly true of the culture of CAI. CAI expects employees to aim high career wise and sets you up with a superb internal qualifications program, fantastic opportunities across a range of diverse industries and clients. Excellent remuneration package, great travel opportunities while also considering and working to meet family needs wherever possible. It's your career, your company so CAI provides the platform. Your choice to climb on board.

Cons

As with all client service businesses, client circumstances can change unexpectedly which sometimes can make for abrupt changes in plans and uncertainty in projects. Now a very frequent occurrence though. Travel is a very certain part of the job which if you are used to the 'routine' work travel can take getting accustomed to.

Pros

- Time and a half OT - There used to be an amazing 401k (15%+ESOP), that’s just been axed thanks to private equity buying us out - Good colleagues - Willing to train people - Good pay if you’re working OT and live in a cheap area

Cons

- Overtime far from guaranteed. Sometimes you’re scrapping to hit 40 hours. - Pay sucks in expensive areas - Project assignment is mostly luck of the draw? They need to be a copy-paste monkey? You’re a copy-paste monkey until the end of days. - Company did a lot of things to increase enterprise value in the short term in preparation for the buyout from private equity - Company repeatedly shorts people on raises and promotions and works to muddy the water on payscales and promotions.The middle has hollowed out because of lack of raise/promotions. People get 3 years and then bail. - Travel can be super heavy and last minute - Company far more bureaucratic than it needs to be
