If you are not on a good team, it is a very trying experience with little to no support and a lot of team dysfunction with lack of team leadership.

Apr 29, 2023 - Security Sales Consultant in Oakbrook Terrace, ILRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Loved learning about security systems but you can get the same training googling it on your own.
Cons
There is zero training, they have you go and meet with customers sell them on security you need to know how to put the security system in draw the diagrams of where everything will go what type of part out of their 75,000 parts that you know nothing about and there are no managers on staff that will answer any questions because they don't know the answers nor do they care to find out. You're told to lie to the customer about the time frame, product , what it will do, and LIE ABOUT PRICE!!!! Then once you finally build the whole job find every part of everything together presented to the customer and find out our prices three times higher than every other competitor out there you have no other options. If you do book the job you're told to ignore the customer from that point forward no matter how many times they call because nothing is being done on their property and the four weeks out turn into three months.

Pros
Stable. Good option for HVAC industry. People leave for competitors and then come back. Mostly older people so room for fast advancement as they retire.
Cons
Benefits could be improved. Wish there was more career progression transparency.

It's what you make it out to be
May 31, 2023 - Fire Inspector in Washington, DCRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The job offers overtime so there will never be a year where you make your base pay unless you deny working overtime. It's 48K base if you have no NICET, but it's up from there once you have your certification. However, you may have to leave the company once you get certified to negotiate your pay.
Cons
Our supervisor is great, but the rest of management is par at best. There's a communication problem in the office. They tend to reward their weakest workers and leave their good workers hanging.

The people are great.
Apr 14, 2023 - Logistics Coordinator in Cranberry, PARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Everyone is kind and friendly, most of them have an optimistic attitude which makes the job far more enjoyable at times. Potential for growth in the company seems more realistic than most companies. They truly promote from within. They are also global which makes it a bit easier to stay with the company if you ever decide to relocate.
Cons
The onboarding/training needs to be revisited badly for some positions and the processes need to be far more efficient. This can make the first impression of working for the company rather frustrating and exhausting. I feel it is improving and hope the company continues heading in a positive direction.
