Don't do it. More headaches than good days
Lab (Former Employee), Gonzales – May 16, 2013
Pros: best benefits for contract lab.
Cons: managers treat you like you are not as good as them as a person, to many head aches, pay blows.
Intertek believes its the best job ever. Room for advancement if you don't know the upper management personally is non existence. Family does not come first. Don't really care about if your family is sick. You better be to work.

Interesting problems, managers can be a headache
Chemist I (Current Employee), Champaign, IL – April 24, 2013
Pros: free lunch each month
Cons: language barrier
The problems that come as a course of the work are usually interesting, but the management doesn't like to spend real money on improving the laboratory, such as the building or equipment, which can hinder actually doing testing. Decent pay but not great. Good benefits. Somewhat flexible hours.

Don't do it
Sampler Current (Current Employee), Corpus Christi – March 18, 2013
Pros: lunch?
Cons: everything
Nothing but laziness. Boss is never around. People "in charge" are worthless. Older men that cry and complain and they are inside all day...Sampler is a bltch job. All work and no PAY... starting pay is less than $15. Everyone talks behind everyone's back and smiles in front of their face

Inexperienced and Poor Management - Houston, TX
Jr Coordinator (Former Employee), Houston, TX – February 19, 2013
Cons: prison like atmosphere.
HELLO...is anybody listening in the UK? Send in the shovel and the guards! INTERTEK Management is making Inspectors & Employees so sick all the good ones are gone. Houston office has forgotten who makes the money for their Manager Power Lunches, trade places sometime. Try getting some experience in the field or in the Coordination "Bull Pin". Turn-over – more... continues and no one seems to care! Management only wants their bonuses and will throw anyone under the bus to get it! Management does not believe in customer service - Clients beware! – less

Very fragmented organisation; lack of teamwork, no training, no meetings.
Business Manager ME (Former Employee), Dubai – February 15, 2013
Pros: great apartment
Cons: having to justify actions to people who didn't understand anything about the service, the market, the company, or the clients.
People within the company don't know what the company does. Clients don't know that the company's capabilities are. The company is missing a lot of opportunities - senior management recognise this, but local management are content to do what they know rather than seek new opportunities.

The company employed some very good people - very capable, qualified – more... and experienced - all have left.

The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting with clients.
The hardest part of the job was managing the communication between line management (UAE), functional management (Germany) and financial management (Singapore) - it was just an elaborate game of Chinese whispers. – less

Productive & Highly detail-oriented work place
Logistics Coordinator/ Lab Techinician (Former Employee), Arlington Heights, IL – January 8, 2013
It was very satisfying and comfortable workplace. This job experience has helped me develop my typing skills and communication skills. The management was very flexible and helpful to all employees. The co-workers were friendly and supportive of each other. The hardest part of the job was keeping up the quantity of work with the best quality, and as – more... an employee I can proudly say that I succeeded at that task every time. – less

Good learning environment
Health and Fitness Specialist (Current Employee), Anchorage, AK – September 13, 2012
Pros: the diversity of people i get tto work with.
Cons: the decline of production in alaska
I go to work for 9 hours a day, The majority of the day is spent on the computer except when managing one of the fee-for-service contractor or in a meeting. I work in the field a week a month when it is not turnaround season. The things I have learned most at this job is the amount of organization it takes to work in the office as well as the many processes – more... it takes to get oil out of the ground. Seeing how i am a contractor I have no management at all, yet everyone I work around is great. The hardest thing about my job is sitting inside during the short Alaska summer.The most enjoyable part of the job is the diversity of people I work with. I work with engineers, executives, technicians, environmentalists, Legal, HR, and many other. – less
