Great for customers, a (12+ year) nightmare for employees like myself - Shop Technician Bay Alarm Employee Review

Pros

A few decent people work for the company (mostly outside of the Sales department, which is populated by money-grubbing sociopaths).

Cons

Mediocre pay, constant work speedup for the plebes, never ending metrics for operations while sales gets all the thanks/perks, right wing company politics, constant indoctrination into the company values. AND...hypocrite managers who dump e-waste into dumpsters and then prattle on about the company's adherence to "sustainability" when the State of California sues.
