Working at First Advantage

Pros

Exciting and chaotic place to work. Bringing multiple companies together. Restructuring organization and changing company culture. Must enjoy being part of building something new while living with a lot of construction, dust and fumes.

Cons

The current chaos isn't for everyone. It's a tough environment for many when so much change is happening and there's no light at the end, just more change, more chaos.

Pros

There is some flexibility, if needed.

Cons

Below average pay, not much growth opportunity and at times, unprofessional work environment. Don't let the job postings fool you. First Advantage is known to go through hiring sprees, followed most of the time by downsizing sprees! A company that loves to outsource overseas so you see a lot of "good" reviews from employees residing in those countries. A rather dishonest executive management team. You'll hear about "growth" yet pay raises are laughable and bonuses don't really exist unless you're in certain positions.
