Pros

Safety minded company, great margin for contracts, good job security. Plenty of time outside the office.

Cons

Union Labor goes against the grain at times, makes twice the pay as management and can be difficult to lead. Zero quality in this business, all quantity. Constantly chasing your tail, no pro-activeness in maintenance and repair, very reactive. Some customers can be very difficult because of this. Company relies on lower level management to carry the entire weight of sometimes unmanageable contracts.

Pros

The company values safety very highly. When I started there I had a great manager and good team. I learnt a lot working at Otis.

Cons

No reward for hard work. People get laid off and are replaced by contract worker's with a slight title change. They don't value employees with years of knowledge and replace them with useless new people with some uni degree who think they have all the answers. Company is going backwards & losing customers.
