      Pros

      Paycheck every week. Decent 401k match (5%). Nice vacation package (for now). When you get NICET certification you get a raise.

      Cons

      Poor health insurance plans for a company this size. Only deposits their matching 401k contribution once a year. Out of touch upper management. Low company moral. Middle management seems to focus on annual bonuses/metrics so the local branch and hourly employees suffer. Feels like the "voice" of the employee falls on deaf ears. Seems like ever since the (TYCO/SimplexGrinnell) merger things continue to go downhill.

      Pros

      Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

      Cons

      The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
