Detective or Criminal Investigator Reviews
What is it like working as a Detective or Criminal Investigator?
December 2018
Detective or Criminal Investigator:
Raises do happen every year, but inevitably something happens where the company didn't make enough money, "so we can't give you as much as we'd like and oh your bonus is smaller too." MANY employees are making much less than they should with seniority, and Sterling even had the gall to give "promotions" that offered no extra money, just the promise of "maybe" a bigger bonus next year, which with what we've been told about the company finances will NOT happen. This job is full of the worst kind of stress, with a poisonous atmosphere that dampens and eventually destroys enthusiasm and the desire to work well. Most of the work, anyway, is farmed out to people in Mumbai who have NO qualifications or competence. Everything is catered to them.
Avoid this place. If you're desperate for a job, consider working here only long enough until you find something better (which won't be hard). The positive, enthusiastic workplace with a focus on quality and ability is LONG GONE.
