Surveying Experience with Onderwater
Billing and Payment Issues
Reviews highlight issues with billing and payment processes. One reviewer was unhappy with the company's refusal to send surveys despite receiving a significant payment, and another reviewer felt misled by the estimated cost, which turned out to be much higher than expected.
Communication and Customer Service
Communication seems to be a mixed bag. Some reviewers praised the prompt responses from staff, while others felt that important information, such as estimated times for appointments and hourly rates, was not clearly communicated.
Field Staff vs. Office Environment
There is a clear distinction between the positive experiences with field staff and the negative experiences with the office environment. Reviewers praised the field staff for their conduct and professionalism, but expressed disappointment with the office staff's handling of issues and billing.
Positive Experiences
On the other hand, some reviewers had excellent experiences with Onderwater, praising the company's ability to get their schedules back on track and providing exceptional customer service.
