Pros
Great coworkers and benefits are good.
Cons
Manager is a bully and will blame team for everything. Forced overtime and forced to work weekends.i heard there was a great team that were paid more a few years ago and they all left or were let go as they made the manager and TL look bad justifiably. Team Lead is incompetent doesn’t know how to do the job. Does not reply to your emails or instant msg. Both mgr and TL are never to be found in the office and don’t... tell you that they are off or working from home. Both don’t know new processes and makes the most senior team member teach the team .

Pros
Benefits are great Colleagues are great
Cons
High stress Favoritism Management puts you down High turn over in customer service Theres no proper training Managment is condescending
Advice to Management
Upper management needs to reevaluate customer service manager. Customer Service is turn over central, you could be the favourite of the month then the next you have a target on your back. Upper management needs to see what their customer service reps go through. Everyone is overworked and depressed.

Neutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Avigilon full-time for more than a year
Pros
Lots of autonomy and ability to make your own schedule. A lot of travel involved. Good base salary.
Cons
Can be isolating to work remotely all the time. Difficult targets to hit and commission percentage goes down as quota goes up year over year so if you don't hit targets you will earn less.
Advice to Management
More of a conversation around quota and target increases with employees would be good.

Pros
If you're project manager you will be manager by three managers under project manager, PM managers manager, PM manager's manager of project manager and V.P devices manager. I know it's confusing
Cons
Managers are seated rooms with glass Windows so it feels always you have been watched.
Advice to Management
Motorola should do something about it. They can't even post job opportunities at B.C. tech website. Most popular site for engineers in Vancouver
