Pros

professional environment that lacks the disparaging remarks, finger pointing and backstabbing that I've seen other places. The company makes a strong effort to keep employees informed. Salary and benefits are about average for a large company. Provides a lot of opportunity for non-degreed people.

Cons

Bureaucratic. Layoffs. I can't say that the company really values its people. Raises are disappointing and benefits are under assault. In the last 10 years, my salary rose about 5% above inflation despite having "excellent" reviews. They seem to think that the employees are fungible - they will always opt for the cheaper employee - that is offshore - rather than investing in their staff. Getting external training can be a challenge. A lot of off hours work.

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.
