What is the best part of working at the company?
They provide you with a shirt and some marketing material.... That's about the most they do to help you. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No earning any money for months while you provide the company with free labor and inspections... 
Don't work here if you have a family to provide for.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Upper-management is a joke, area managers can be great but if you have one that's gonna retire in 5 years and is in poor health don't expect them to do anything that would help your business grow. The Vice president is really good at giving empty promises. 

You're expected to work for months for free and then you get to start making money... By starting at square one with zero leads and doing cold calls and going to open houses. 
You're 100% better off just working for yourself. This company is the biggest joke when it comes to setting their new inspectors up for success. Maybe other areas have better support from their AMs but Micheal in Raleigh is one of the laziest most shortsighted managers I've ever interacted with. (And he doesn't wear socks or trim his toenails, it's really unsettling).

Do NOT work here is it is your only source of income. I'm sure it's great if you're retired from another job or something like that but if you're young and trying to make it in home inspection BPG will not invest in you as the future of the company because they are too busy making excuses as to why they don't have any inspections for you. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Wake up poor, use your own vehicle and drive 30-60 minutes to a property. Listen to the same 4 jokes repeated by your manager over and over, while you are sent to inspect most of the property on your own( yup, the months of shadowing are just you doing the inspection by yourself) then you give all your notes and pictures to your manager so they can write the report and make $100+ while you go eat some food from a gas station and try to reassure your wife that you will make money one day. You do this for about 3 months during the busy summer and they will "release you to do inspections" about the time the market dies for the year so you will still be starving and broke during the holidays, but don't worry, they will send you a holiday card. 

Then you eventually find out that other area managers directly share inspections with their new members to help build their business. So you just sit there and wonder if you wouldn't have lost your house and be going through a divorce if you had an area manager that wasn't a fat, lazy old man...

I started in this company hoping to be part of an excellent team, guess what? I was wrong.  In my case as Home Inspector in BPG you have to built your own book of business without any compensation.  The beginning of the coming inspection is very low and on top of that they just give you 40% of the inspection fee.  That means if the inspection fee is $100 you just get paid 40% after the $10 fee for the Error and Omission insurance.  So you just get 40% of $90. Means you only get $36 dollars, and you spend at least 2.5 hrs in the field inspection + plus travel time + report making time (about 2 to 4 hrs).  You end spending 6 hour for $36 dollars, that means $6.00/ hr.  Less than in Walmart.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Its all set up for you.  They have a fair sit and great customer service and CE training. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Meeting new Realty Agents for new business. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
You're an individual affiliate employee. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Perform inspection. Write a report and or market yourself.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Insurance, software, website and scheduling provided. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Keeping your personal life schedule open to be available not knowing when a job will come up.

Good company to start out your home inspection career.  The hands on training with a master inspector is invaluable.  The difficult part is trying to male a living when the company takes such a large percentage of the inspection fee.   Not possible to make a living unless you love in a large metro area.

Have to pay high splits and they provide no inspections. Otherwise a great company. Great people, training, and software. Great culture. Would have continued if they provided more support in producing business. 

This is a great company to work for, especially if you are already established but want to escape the perils of ownership and want to become an employee. Great office staff handles all of your phone calls and scheduling, and the benefits are great.

Do not spend your time, keep looking for another job opportunity. Bad management, lack of support and promotion. No respect to employee. Harassment!!!

Awesome people, support, and flexibility. Ability to advance. Excellent field communications and scheduling of inspections.  Ongoing education and ability to set your income level.

Great training and on-going support. The benefits are awesome. Management is very supportive. All state required fees and continuing education classes are reimbursed.
