Business outlook

Pros

you get to experience different terminals and work with different products so the job doesnt get as old. - pretty sweet when its slow since there is guarantee pay u can have work weeks where u only for 10-15 hours and get paid for 40 since its guarantee pay -they pay for your phone bill since you need it on you at all times 24/7 -they pay for your mileage even though the rate could be better but its still nice to get that check. not a bad company overall. the management is nice but the hours and no schedule sucks for family/responsibilites

Cons

-being on call and getting calls at ridiculous times can be hard for a family man like myself. -long hours away from home. I been on job sites for 20+ hours and still got a call early next morning to do a sample pickup(crazy) - the job expects so much for so little pay(you have to work long hours remember all kinds of formulas and also fill out a tally book for measurements and be your own timekeeper and also completes lots of paper work and computer work all for one job for under $20/hr is crazy -the job can be really dangerous for under $20/hr -you get punished for using time(even though you are on call) using a sick day seems to be like a punishment since you lose your guarantee pay. -low pay for what you do in the field. -zero work/ life balance

SGS Response

Hi! thank you for your long review. I cannot agree more that you never get bored as an inspector. I am happy to hear that you are satisfied having a guaranteed pay even if you didn't work. I am sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with the long hours and being on call. Work/life balance is very important at SGS and as an open culture, you can speak to your manager about your concerns. Keep up the great work.
