Be more proactive in taking additional tasks that will help them grow professionally within the company.

Review from Admin Dept

Being less judgemental and more willing to teach. If someone doesn't know, Be willing to use that as a TEACHING moment. Due to this I rarely ask anything, I research myself and exhaust ALL resources which has made me become an better, and more independent agent. I rarely call Level 2 BI or DT

Review from Customer Support Dept

Nothing only really interact when something is needed.

Review from Customer Success Dept

So, we are all on the same time, working to retain our clients. When we reach out for help, they should be willing to help no matter what. Like our clients, we also get directed to different departments, procedures, etc.

Review from Customer Success Dept

Team work! Understand the client perspective

Review from Customer Success Dept

First Advantage has intention of collaboration but not execution. The silos we exist in and the hording of knowledge and cooperation can be dumbfounding at times. It often feels like the products we offer are seen as widgets on a balance sheet. Our services are more vital and nuanced than that.

Review from Customer Success Dept

I find that many of my coworkers lack simple communication skills and often don't care whether the quality of their work impacts others.

Review from Operations Dept

My job doesn't require me to interact that much with coworkers

Review from Operations Dept

The team leader needs to address the tension and distrust within the team. My particular vertical is continually excluded and then expected to deliver results on less than 1 hour notice.

Review from Customer Success Dept

They need to do the job that is asked of them. They can't do simple tasks no matter how many times it is stressed what is expected of them. My coworkers need to actually work and not sit around and talk all day or sell and make bracelets on company time. Must be nice to get paid for those things.

Review from Customer Success Dept

Work as a Team and not an individual.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Coworkers must be coordinative and need to be unity. I could work together better if they are interacted in all the cases.

Review from Operations Dept

everyone should be trained the same

Review from Customer Support Dept

we are interacting with each other quite good thru social media, chats, video calls. we also see each other once in a while and I think it is good enough for us rather than everyday face to face interaction.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Communiation is important (face to face, using teams, whatever

Review from Operations Dept

Togetherness consider working as a family for a team not as individual

Review from Customer Success Dept

We're not really close with each and everyone maybe because it's work from home.

Review from Operations Dept

Support team and have great decision making

Review from Operations Dept

Some coworkers are very brilliant and a great joy to work with. We need to ensure that everyone is continuing to upskill and transcend merely adequate to become the top talent the company requires to be successful.

Review from IT Dept

My direct co-workers yes. Like the ones on my direct team. The other team, that falls under the same group, I do not at all want to interract with. Train new people and make sure everyone knows the roles of other positions. This has and continues to cause much tension in our area.
