Pros

Paid on time and guaranteed work with some slow weeks.

Cons

When this company merged, field investigators became only a warm body. 5 paid holidays were taken away, PTO decreased, and work load increased to the point of setting an investigator up for failure. Many travel times to cases are, on average, 1.5 hours each way. By the time you get home, you have complicated reports to complete that can take up to 2 or more hours. They pressure you to charge around 15-30 minutes of report time despite how long it takes. With this average day occurring 6 days a week, family life is destroyed. They also expect Alive and Well Checks to be completed on time. Again, this is setting one up for failure when you're already working 6-7 days a week. I've been in the field for a long time and with several different companies. I'm one to understand what comes with the job but their expectations are not realistic.

In the investigator industry, the volume and type of work can vary due to factors outside of our control, such as client needs, case locations, and seasonal demand. While we cannot eliminate these fluctuations, we are committed to doing everything we can to keep our investigators working consistently. This includes securing new clients, maintaining strong relationships with existing clients, and delivering high-quality results that generate additional opportunities. Our goal is to minimize downtime and create as much stability as possible in an inherently variable industry. We genuinely value constructive feedback, as it helps us grow and improve. We love hearing that the culture we have created has been helpful and supportive.

Pros

Nothing at all, no pros working here.

Cons

So many! Working 12-14 hour days, a terrible salary, working weekends to keep up, Zero work life balance, more and more work added daily . Micromanaged 24/7 on top of a below industry standard salary. Management plays favorites. No time to work with employees but still expected too. High turnover rate.

At CoventBridge Group, we recognize that our industry may be more demanding at times, and employee hours vary based on our clients' needs and assignments at the time, but do not want anyone feeling “overworked”. When our employees have management concerns, we encourage them to escalate them to Human Resources so they can be addressed quickly. Your constructive feedback helps us identify areas where we can do better. If you'd like to connect with us, please contact us at employeeappreciation@coventbridge.com.
