Pros
The past few postings do not give a true picture of Arbitration Forums, Inc. workplace.
I have been an employee at AF for over ten years. The turnover of employees is very low, contractors maybe higher, but isn’t this why contractors are hired? For project or specialized work?
AF does not ask its IT employees to “clock in and out.” AF offices are in a multi-tenant office building, and for security purposes, employees are asked to utilize a security badging system when entering and exiting the offices. While AF does ask employees to work a full 8-hour day, I respect this expectation. Isn’t that what I get paid for? Forty hours of productive work each week.
I enjoy the excellent casual work environment, compensation, benefits, time off, flexible work week and personal development opportunities. I believe that AF’s work/life balance is the best of all companies that I have ever worked at. I have not experienced any difficulty with taking time off for emergencies, appointments or illness. I have worked from home on numerous occasions.
One of the best things about AF is its commitment to volunteerism. The company encourages employees to volunteer during work hours and be paid for the time volunteering.
Cons
Sure there are some employee’s personalities I do not agree with, but give me a break; these types of people are in every company. Overall AF is a solid company with good positive people to work around.
