Pros

Dorma and Kaba bring a lot of top-quality hardware products to the table.

Cons

Hiring several layers of management instead of boots on the ground. Every sale is a team approach and many, many regions are missing critical team personnel. The 2018-19 commission is punitive, takes money away if operating plan is not met for a quarter, even if other quarters are over plan. They will take the money out of your last pay check or vacation pay if you quit. If commission isn't made during the year, the "True Down" is taken out of commission for the following year. Incentive isn't based on your region, but the company as a whole... many moving parts you have no control over. There is no communication, emails to other cluster bounce back. Nobody tells you who's been laid off/quit and who you can go to for information. Resources and training are unavailable and communication between clusters is non-existent.

Great work environment with a collaborative team. Management is supportive, and there are excellent opportunities to work on interesting projects. A very structured and professional place to grow your skills.

Cons

Corporate structure can occasionally make project timelines move a bit slowly due to multiple levels of approval.
