Yr's ago I tried to return to the company. They said no because I cost them to much $ of being 3-5 min late to work due to public transportation. But they never mentioned it while I was for them @ the time. Then I left the company because my supervisor was bullying me @ the site. I explained the situation but mid mgnt didn't care even though the situation predates there employment @ the I.C.H.Q. in Pasadena.

They urgently reached out to me for me to come in same day and follow through with drug test and picking up my uniform. Fast forward it's been 3 weeks and I have not heard back from no one as far as when I'm going to start which is very misleading, they seemed like they were urgently hiring but soon as you follow through with the whole process they don't contact you back. And since I'm supposed to work for them they should be good with communication and reaching back to their future employees so I won't waste my time getting back in touch with them especially for the pay rate.

I currently work at Inter-Con and have had a great experience! Inter-Con is family owned and it shows in the company culture. They treat employees like family and seem to truly care. With being in the business of service and people, it is common to have issues arise, but there is always push to solve problems and create solutions. I enjoy working here.

I have worked at Inter-con for 5 months now. I have really enjoyed working with the people in my office and the corporate office. They recognize hard work and dedication. If you have any issues HR is there to help and get it resolved quickly. The company doesn't treat you like a number but family.
