Pros

Able to work remotely. Benefits are ok.

Cons

The office managers lack essential audio-visual (AV) experience, leading to poor decision-making and oversight. The office's leadership is deeply flawed, with the sales person being related to the office manager. This gives them unchecked control over the office dynamics, often resulting in the unjust firing of the more experienced and skilled employees to cover their own inadequacies. There is a pervasive culture of blame-shifting within the office. Engineers, project managers, and installation teams are frequently scapegoated for mistakes that originate from the sales team. The sales person falsely presents himself as the design engineer, yet when issues arise, he shifts the blame to the actual design engineer. This toxic environment has led to numerous lost sales opportunities and a demoralized staff. It is common for Employees to be dismissed without valid reasons or prior warnings. And I for one was falsely accused and terminated on a Friday without any previous reprimand or indication of wrongdoing. This lack of fair treatment, dysfunctional and hostile work environment is perpetuated by the current management. I strongly advise against applying to this office. The combination of inexperienced management, blame-shifting, and unfair practices makes it an unprofessional and unstable workplace.

Pros

I can't say much good about this place. If your company gets acquired by this monster run away as fast as you can. There are so many better places to work.

Cons

Too many abusive policies, aggressive non-competes, manipulation tactics, wages are not-competitive, medical and other benefits only benefit the company, not the employees. This is a dead end job for many people as they will strong-arm you into never being able to work anywhere else in the industry.

Pros

Benefits, some opportunity for career advancement, my pay rate was grandfathered over from Whitlock.

Cons

Culture and management are toxic. My supervisor made it clear they did not want to retain me during the merger, attempted to fire me without cause or notice mid pandemic because they didn't personally like me, but I stayed on. My complaints to HR and higher management fell on deaf ears. I was a very capable, award winning employee at Whitlock before being pushed out at AVISPL. Ethically, they scam customers, and lie to manipulate their numbers in ways we would never have done at Whitlock. Good riddence.
