We are making a difference. Our industry is ever changing but what we do matters - we are safeguarding vulnerable people and children in workplaces. We ensure companies do not make wrong hires. All this matters. We are superheroes :) and we make a difference. Making a difference makes me happy.

Review from Customer Success Dept · Posted 24 days ago

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

The workload is excessive & demands high. The pay is the opposite. This is not a new complaint. It has been ongoing for 10+ years. If FA cared, they would have already taken action. No worries, the employees know nothing will actually be done to improve this except aiming hot air towards us.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 9 days ago

Executive leadership only cares about the bottom line, they do not actually care about the customer experience or the well-being of employees.

Review from Customer Success Dept · Posted 12 days ago

the HR are not clearly communicating about the compensation package in case an employee gets promoted to a certain leve. atleast they shoud hold one on one discussion with the promoted employee and explain them about their revised salary package rather than just uploading on the work day

Review from Operations Dept

micromanagement - not hearing or accepting alternate ways or opinions- do it this way b/c we said to- even when it is against the consumer request or best interest

Review from Operations Dept

Upper management does nothing to help alleviate work overload.

Review from Operations Dept

An affort in making people feel like they matter and a simple thank you from leadership would make a huge difference.

Review from Finance Dept

The only way to improve my satisfaction is to give me proper (higher) salaries so that I don't have to compare my salaries with salaries of physical workers in Poland anymore.

Review from Operations Dept

Not enough work to keep me busy, not utilizing my talents to their fullest

Review from Operations Dept

Technology for my region is not up to date. Makes it hard to speak to a product that is broken.

Review from Operations Dept

too many acquisition related projects taking time away from the "day job"

Review from Customer Success Dept

higher pay and better benefits

Review from Customer Support Dept

The mental and verbal abuse from the clients and applicants! We need better pay and a free thereapist for our mental health dealing with the callers. The lack of communication between First Advantage and the Clients is a HUGE problem! The clients do not know their own Policies or account managers

Review from Customer Support Dept

Time to upgrade our platform and focus on TAT times

Review from Customer Success Dept

It is not a position I can thrive in and at this point I don't believe there is room for growth. Nothing can improve my perception of my leadership team.

Review from Customer Success Dept

Stronger relationships across the Executive team, less finger-pointing.

Review from Customer Support Dept

i don't know how to improve it

Review from Sales Dept

I no longer believe we are the best screening company in the world. I don't have faith in our products and ability to execute on our plans. We make everything so hard and it seems like our internal technology and processes are on the edge of falling apart.

Review from Customer Success Dept

I live in constant fear of being let go because our company isn't doing so well seeing as how we are understaffed

Review from Customer Support Dept

Workload and standards of expectations and lack of other departments taking accountablilty and collborating with CSDs.

Review from Customer Success Dept

As a middle manager, it's very hard to motivate team members to pitch in more without providing better increases to keep up with the aggressive cost of living hikes. In this position, I hear complaints from both below and above me to do better when I can't control what's driving the issues.
