Pros

Starting rate was fair but little value if you're not working

Cons

Offered a F/T position but no promise on weekly hours. Could be none or just a few. Had to delay training due to my moms critical illness. Offer was revoked. So much for compassion. look elsewhere

At CoventBridge we always endeavor to address employee issues based on facts. So we are responding. This Investigator never started work with CoventBridge. During our recruiting process, we always discuss that hours and assignments can be variable and are dependent on referrals sent to us by clients. We only hire full-time Investigators in areas we believe will support, on average, full time hours. In this case, the Investigator advised us before his new-hire training, that he had an unspecified family matter to attend to and he delayed his training. After several inquiries by the Investigator to others in the company about “the hours he would get”, our recruiter reiterated to him the initial discussion regarding availability of hours. The Investigator did not respond. After several attempts to reach the investigator, without a response, we rescinded the offer. “Not Even and Option”? To the contrary, CoventBridge is indeed an excellent option for our many hundreds of dedicated investigative professionals throughout the country. However, it’s not for everyone. Our performance standards are high, and we favor people who are self-motivated and responsible, which we feel is best in service to our clients and our team.

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.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. 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.
