Pros

The people are great and have some of the best knowledge in the industry.

Cons

The Senior Management team is out of touch with reality of customer service. They seem to think when business is down instead of looking to improve customer service they just raise the prices. The customers are completely overlooked and it takes massive jumping through hoops to get the simplest of tasks accomplished. The field level spends 80% of their day fighting internally to service their customers. Whether it is through fighting with National Accounts or Invoicing and Billing issues. Their health insurance leaves much to be desired and is the worst plan I have ever encountered. They recently changed their 401K so they do not pay it out until the end of the year. Meaning the interest that would have accrued is depleted. The technical software tools are cumbersome and sometimes just do not work. There is a high level of frustration from the field teams trying to jump over internal obstacles just to service customers.

Pros

Decent pay, good PTO and benefits

Cons

Everything else. ZERO training. They hand you a laptop (which is garbage) and say good luck. There is no "team." Everyone is on their own. The senior techs all reached their peak 20 years ago and don't even know what BACnet is. The bureaucracy is unbearable. Ordering a simple part is nearly impossible. There are so many apps you have to check in on everyday and they care more about those metrics than they care about the service their customers are receiving. If you want to get your butt kicked everyday with zero support at a company that specializes in taking advantage of their customers, this is the job for you.
