The-Robison-Group

In my short time with the company, I had 3 Field Operation Managers and only one of which was somewhat organized and seemed to actually care about those working under him. My co-workers were friendly. They attempted to take away my salary after 3 months with the company and laid me off after six months because they were not able to drum up enough business to warrant as many investigators as they staffed. I was not given forewarning of being laid off but the signs were there. I was not satisfied with the company. 

The job required a lot of traveling, and wasn't as monotonous as I thought it would be. It was enjoyable for the most part but the management could be better.

my main problem was that the work was tedious and repetitive, and there were no opportunities for advancement in the industry I'm interested in
advancement was possible within the company only, there were no observable connections to other companies, and there were not a lot of obvious benefits to promotion
benefits were poor/lacking, as was vacation time
wage was fair for necessary skills involved/work completed daily, very little actual skill required for day to day tasks

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working from home, good hours. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Multiple bosses telling everyone different things without communicating with each other. Boss that would tell me one thing one day and something else the next. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Snarky. Downright hostile if you dare to disagree with one of the bosses. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Checked assigned cases and began working on them. Would get email after email about tedious corrections needed.

This job can be rewarding if you want it to be. Not normal working hours. You will be traveling to different states when they need you and sometimes its multiple times a month. You get your schedule a week in advance so you have no idea what days you will have off. The mileage  compensation isn't bad. Some days you will sit outside a house or apartment complex and look for someone who only has a name and no face to put to it. So you'll just sit in your car for 8 hours doing nothing most days. 

Green to PI work. The staff and guidance and training were excellent. Managers were very fair and supportive. The line of work obviously is based on peoples lives and changing situations so schedule flexibility is paramount. Personally as a new person to the field I was challenged with taking extra time to complete reports. If you love exciting circumstances and are very alert and aware and observative you will be great. Benefits are awesome btw! 

Management feels that you are their property 343 days out the year. They will schedule 7 days a week and if you want time off it has to be a personal day or vacation. Management is horrible at communication unless they are controlling an Investigation. Even though several people are involved in a case only the investigator gets in trouble if something happens. You are a commodity not a person. 

Great place to work and great people to work for.  They treat you like a human being. Do the assignments that you are tasked to do and the rest of the time is yours. Like I said great place to work awesome people. Do the best job that you possibly can and everything falls in place.

I've been with TRG going on four years and love the people and culture in the company.  The management team is very understanding and compassionate. The individual teams are wonderful to work with and they will not set you up for failure. You will strive within the company if you have good work ethic and self motivated.

TRG is a feast and famine company, you are either working seven days a week with no breaks or you are not working for weeks at a time. 

The communication with supervision is great when you are on a case and horrible when you are not.

Robison is a good company to work with and for.  I do not enjoy the extended travel or the continuous work schedule without time off.  I do not enjoy long distance extended stay travel.
