Contracts and Purchasing
Contracts and Purchasing (Contract) (Former Employee), Houston, TX –
Pros: accounting did a few free lunches, my boss was awesome, flexible hours
Cons: its pretty far from my house, they lights would some times go out...
my experience at Intertek was a good one I worked for the purchasing director and he treated me fairly well. A typical day for me was mostly project work. I can say that i delt with other departments and they usually stayed pretty busy. Most of everybody was friendly, but you always have your typical over achiver that has to keep up the drama........ – more...  my advice would be to do your job. they seem to really like people that have a strong work ethic.... – less

It is a very laid back place to work with great benefits
Project Coordination Assistant (Current Employee), Houston, TX –
It is no longer a place where I feel happy and comfortable working. I feel there is no organizational structure for management, and too much micromanaging.

Great people to work with in a large company
General Manager (Current Employee), San Antonio, TX –
Can be beurocratic at times and decisions on processes take too long at times to make a difference.

Very good company to work for but can do a little more for their employees.

Currently Outsourcing IT and Accounting to Accenture
IT Analyst (Current Employee), Houston –
At the moment there is too much uncertainty and very low moral. Management seems out of touch with teams and does not pay competitavely especially if havin been employed for a while.

Do you have a Ball and Chain around your neck?
Inspector (Former Employee), Midwest –
Pros: there is none.
Cons: illegal pay, poor mang., terrible hrs, no schedule, etc
The Department of Labor needs to shut these guys down! They will hire you on salary @ $640/week w/ the promise of +/- 40hrs/wk. Seems fair right? WRONG! Anything over 40hrs, you get paid min. wage and you will ALWAYS work over 40 - never working under 40 as promised by the manager. The dispatcher is vulgar and disrespectful and I'm surprised someone – more...  hasn't knocked his teeth out yet. Seriously.

I know people might be desperate for a job in this crummy economy, but PLEASE take my advice and STAY AWAY from this company; at least on the OCA side. If you have a ball and chain around your neck and want to breathe gas, diesel, and asphalt fumes and be exposed to some very harsh chemicals, go right ahead. It's not worth getting paid peanuts and being sleep deprived your entire life! – less
