What are some of the best things about your team?
Everyone tends to have the right intentions and attitudes.
Review from Operations Dept
small and rise above poor management
we help and support each other
They treat you like a family
There are small pockets of great team members who can really get things done. However, when a region begins to outperform other regions, the underperforming regional leaders will undermine Intertek's own business outside of their regions in an effort to falsely diminish the disparity in performance
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Workong together towards the same goal
They should get a liveable wage. No incentive to do well.
The coworkers are not the issue. Everyone above the engineer and technician level are draining the company of any value whatsoever.
Review from Operations Dept
Reduce the hoops staff have to jump through to do simple things. It's ridiculous.
Stand up to the manipulation of bullies.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Everyone is a team player.
Review from Operations Dept
Nothing is positive employees not happy with their pay
Review from Operations Dept
Embedded within a separate company
friendly and easy to approach
Friendliness and understanding. Ensuring we alwayd do well and try have a good work life balance.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Hire the right people, especially the top management, some were incompetent
Operations manager needs to either be trained on professional ethics and etiquette or be replaced. Learn to value the front line of employees by respecting them, understanding them, considering them, not illegally adjust their hours, and honor pay raises when earned and due.
Review from Operations Dept
An overhaul. Hire a visonary. Lead with soul
higher management should be screened more carefully
Total culture change. It's currently a mess with yes men/women at the top.
What did you like most about the interview process?
Speed and very likable hr persons
The interviewer was kind of nice.
Review from Operations Dept
My interviewer was very kind.
it was quick, however a lot of the questions were typical from a "list"
Normal, neutral, general, and simple
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
raise competence level of management
Be honest and transparent about whats expected and possible for reasonable growth and advancement within the company. Honor the offer letter terms.
Review from Operations Dept
There is absolutely no interviewing process. Each group is left to their own to try and figure out how to hire people properly. Someone with a lot of experience does well but in most cases it ends an abject failure.
Interview process was simple and efficient, 1 initial phone call to establish communication, then 1 in-person interview with direct manager and that manager's manager. Position was offered within 1 week post-interview.
Not long enough to determine fit
What makes you most happy at work?
My closest collegues are most of them great
Problem solving and mentoring my teams.
Review from Operations Dept
small wins unrelated to Intertek
Seeing our clients get better results and the clients team knowledge improve from our coaching and direction.
When the clients are satisfied with the work performed.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Turnaround and over promise customers
Review from Operations Dept
Turnover is a HUGE problem. Projects get dropped, and deadlines are missed, resulting in extremely poor customer service.
Intertek needs to seriously evaluate it's poor internal communication and inability to maintain effective staffing. Employee retention is poor, meaning we are constantly having to retrain people and cover tasks/processes that are no longer within our job description when people leave.
Everything needs addressed. You can be driving down the road in a company truck and have people flippin you off or throwing stuff at your truck
Review from Operations Dept
Improve the moral of the staff by paying the right rate for the Job
What do you like best about your company?
Flexibility in our daily schedule.
Our hard work gets noticed
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Improved pay, improve work life balance, increase PTO
