Pros
PTO, WORK FROM HOME, FLEX TIME.
Cons
Poor upper management. There are an extreme amount of employees being laid off every other month. Positions are constantly changing never any stability. The company has looked to third party over seas employees to give our positions to. Soon there wont be any employees left at this location by the rate they are going with lay -offs. No job security at all and no one is an exception they will let you go in a heart beat. Makes one wonder if the company will be around much longer.
Advice to Management
Really no management left.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Safeguard Properties (More than 8 years)
Pros
Flexible PTO policy (even though you were encouraged to not use it because nobody would be covering for you). Pay was competitive, if you work 40 hours a week. The average work week for an exempt employee at Safeguard is 50-70.
Cons
Completely unrealistic goals, promotion from within based on friendships, not experience and know-how of the job. Management gives the contractors in the field awful technology to work with and expects them and their staff to troubleshoot all that is wrong and wonders why work is late and not getting done. Everyone is constantly on alert that they are going to lose their job at any time. Mountains of expectation for some, others are freely allowed to leave early and shop on Amazon and Target online.
Advice to Management
Identify the weak links in management and look to replace with competent staff. There are people there who are willing to work and try to improve things - seek them out and listen to what they have to say. Safeguard used to be a great place to work and was thought of as a place you could call a career, but my last 18 months that I worked there it was simply a job to me, waiting for something better to come along. A lot of people still there feel the same way, so it behooves the people up in the front hallway to start listening to people who see it and live it everyday.

Pros
Decent Salary, work hours, positive experience with low level management
Cons
Company undergoing overhaul to purchase landscaping companies in Florida and elsewhere. No leadership during this process. No direction, basically management makes decisions to appease companies they have purchased at the cost of their own employees. They bit off more than they could chew and its clear that they have no idea how to manage an aquisition. Be prepared to bend over backwards for people who are jaded because the company that used to be theirs has been purchased by another organization.
Advice to Management
Slow your roll. Institute a clear narrative that holds your purchased companies to ethical and clearly outlined business practices. Get a handle on what you have already started before moving on to the next purchase. Take a look at your turnover and then take a good look in the mirror. You will only have yourself to blame if you refuse to face the reality that you are overwhelmed and floundering. This is evidenced by the fact you are now hiring outside consultants to try and clean up the messes you have created.
