Do not work for this company!! I read all the bad reviews a couple months ago but decided to give them the benefit of the doubt, with the hopes that they improved? Boy was I wrong! Should have went with my gut feeling, and turned it down but I didn't.

The truth is that take advantage of the investigators and work you like a slave for hardly any money, give you 8, 16 min- to write and put together a report that can take several hours! Don't pay for the first and last hour of travel and give you a big 7.50 an hour after that for travel?? They don't itemize anything on your pay such as expenses even though it goes into the computer that way? They lump it together so they can rip you off even more! If you lose or break there phone they will charge you 449.00 dollars to replace it??? That's what insurance is for and that crappy phone doesnt cost that much anyway.

You have to buy all of your own equipment, use your own car, risk of getting tickets, accidents etc... if you get stuck in traffic it's on you. In reality with all the time you put in and money you have to spend it's just not worth it, when you crunch all the #'s you'll only be getting half of your hourly rate anyway which is what they start you out with for the first 30 days probably because so many people leave in the first month. If your on the fence don't do it you will be sorry!!

#3 UPDATE Employee

Midwest

AUTHOR: Midwest - (United States of America)

POSTED: Monday, February 14, 2011

 Im currently an Investigator here at ICS and have only a quick comment reference all the posts I've seen in the past about this company. I have worked for other companys and have spoke with Investigators from other companys and will agree that a lot of the things said here are true. But from what I hear it is no where near as bad as other companys out there, so if you think the grass is greener on the other side then its seems very simple to me, "Quit" and try your luck somewhere else.

#2 UPDATE Employee

This is a good company

No company is perfect, and neither is this one, they have their faults, but they all in all are still a great company.  Im not a manager, just a field investigator.  The reason you get all these negative comments from everyone is because chances are they were not good at their job, got caught at home or somewhere else when they were supposed to be on a case, or they didnt fully understand what this job entails before they got hired, and quickly got tired of it.  This industry is not for everyone.  Yes you have to provide your own equipment, but so do carpenters, electricians, mechanics and many other trades.  If you dont have the right tools for the job, then what makes you more valuable then the next person.  As far as the report writing goes, its all about using your time wisely, if your on a case then it would make sense to type you report as you go along during the day, so your not bringing everything home with you.  I have been in this field for sometime now and there is no reason anyone should be getting frustrated with this type of work unless you dont know how to do your job. 

Lets stop complaining about every little thing, and find ways to rectify the situation.  Instead of bad mouthing a good company that does their best to treat all their employees fairly, find a solution to your grievence.  There are good and bad case managers, I am aware of this.  If you had a bad one, then you need to move up the chain of command and have whatever problems you are seeing addressed by the next person in charge.  I can tell you by experience that the managment staff here all the way up to Merriman, is extremely approachable.

I was curious has anyone else dealt with this company. I resigned from this company some time back but they claim I was terminated. You know what the funny thing is, is I never received anything stating my employment was terminated. How can you terminate someone and never tell them. This company is full of lies and is headed for a lawsuit.

Anyone else leave this company? I was curious if anyone can produce a termination letter from this company? They claim they dont produce termination letter but I think they are blowing a bunch of smoke!
