      Pros

      A lot of work which equates to steady employment. Some good employees that work hard to make things right.

      Cons

      Disorganization causes excess amounts of work. A lot of bureaucracy and top heavy management stiffes potential growth. Micro-management. Everything is reactive and never pro-active. Service department is expensive and will not return calls. This causes a lot of distrust with clients that are actively working with projects (new installs). Due to the pressure to perform and make quota, sales tries to return calls however most need to be triaged which leaves many calls unanswered. *If you want good professional service from a fire protection company, you're better off looking elsewhere.

      Pros

      Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

      Cons

      The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
