Pros

The employees are friendly and will help you if needed. They will let you know what not to do before you even do it. I made many friends working here even after being relocated 2000 mileage away from home.

Cons

Unfortunately for me, I was fired illegally for being autistic. My supervisor was writing down every tiny thing possible to get me out the door. I was brand new to the low voltage industry and my manager didn't seem to care to help motivate me to do better, but instead scare me into doing worse. This all happened because I brought up I was autistic and my supervisor thought I wasn't gonna grow in the company. So she fired me. I don't recommend working for this company as their work ethics are unethical.

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.
