Ethics? What Ethics?

Pros

Opportunity to work with some of the nicest people (non-management). Great stepping stone into the elevator world. They are number one in safety.

Cons

Ethics don't apply to management. It's preached but not practiced. Treatment of some employees by management walks that fine harassment line. Chauvinistic attitudes from bosses. Women are to be seen and not heard. HR will support management 100% of the time. HR & Management= Spin Doctor

It's a mans world

Pros

Superior educational benefits, although they tax you toward the end of the year and in my case, take away half my check. So school isn't free, but paying 25% is better than having to pay it all.

Cons

Women are relegated to administrative positions. Apparently, ovaries are required to answer phones and to perform other menial tasks men are never asked to do. Otis prides itself on being "green" yet our office is contributing to deforestation with the massive amounts of paper being generated in the office.

Pros

Overall good working environment, good people. People want to do the right thing for the company's growth. Helpful when new. Good Ethics culture. Always know you will be supported on business ethics.

Cons

Top management is myopic. Always 3 year timeframe to look good. Not going the right thing for long term growth. FAT on top... thin resources at bottom where people do the work. HR is lousy. All numbers driven, not interested in developing people. Only because UTC has employee scholarship program that they are forced to support employees to study. Outside USA is double standards in scholarship and training program. Always no money, no money, no money but we make double digit growth?! Our cousins in the other UTC divisions don't make same profit growth and they still get to keep their perks? Otis contributes the most if not second, but why are our benefits and perks different?? I am talking about OUTSIDE THE USA.
