Pros

Had fantastic career advancement and learnt far more than I would have in most companies. It is quite an open culture and where I am (Global WorkPlace Solutions -UK) everyone is friendly and willingly to help those that want to develop. About to be sold to CBRE, this should bring very positive change as parent company do not align or understand the industry.

Cons

career advancement its there is you want it, but quite often (more so recently) given to those that know the right person. Constant change - the change is actually for the right reasons but poorly thought through it terms of rolling out as a project. No really planning done just decide on a change and they figure out how to get there, which can make it difficult for employees. Constant reduction in employee headcount has lead to a more competitive less collaborative culture that I encountered when I first joined.

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.
