## General Information Services Reviews
  ### 1. Awful product and customer service

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 13, 2018

**Describe the project or task General Information Services helped with:**

This is a background check company that we use to ensure new hires are eligible for employment.

**What do you like best about General Information Services?**

They provide a subpar background check, very limited communication with the customer, archaic system for inputting candidate info (print and scan in a document- candidates are gravitating towards tech friendly companies).

**What do you dislike about General Information Services?**

The customer service. If you call to check on the status of a background check, they can't tell you anything and make it clear they aren't concerned. I understand they are at the mercy of the court,  but they don't advocate for their clients.
