Pros

-a responsive Human Resources team

Cons

During merger between SIRVA-BGRS, it seems more like a SIRVA takeover. -reduction of benefits: I.e. 40% less in 401K contribution than BGRS offered prior; EAP that minimizes eligible providers; adds hoops to jump through to receive HSA match -through the addition of a clunky new system that replaced Outlook and emails, Zendesk multiplies work by losing information, requiring multiple steps in order to answer and file a “ticket”, and grading methods that scrutinize grammar, empathy, email formatting, etc. -The new systems feel like a micromanaging effort as it also keeps track of how much time each tasks takes -I have weathered multiple storms when I was at BGRS legacy prior to the merger with SIRVA. It is clear that the issues we are facing is not merely growing pains, it is a clue to what to expect for the future of the company - devaluing of relocation consultants and muting the consultant’s feedback on the role

Pros

Individual teams and units can be outstanding with great team-players and leadership.

Cons

Sometimes companies have to make hard decisions. For-profit companies do actually need to make a profit. There's a sense that marketing is trying to say the right thing, but it's not translating into action. Indeed, many recent actions have felt like they diminish people and that the wellbeing of regular workers aren't valued.
