Good products and service concept. None of it works in practice. - Superintendent Schindler Employee Review

Pros

Solid commitment by top levels of management to run a professional, ethical, and profitable business. Above average compensation package for the industry.

Cons

None of that commitment from top management translates to the local level. Nobody is having fun, and everything is set up to fail. Local management is pressured into portfolio growth which often means aggressive bidding instead of value selling. Layoffs lead to excessive workloads, and the result has been that top talent leaves.

Pros

It was ok in the beginning. Cushy benefits, solid 401k match, and adequate training period.

Cons

Starting salary is below average. Morale started to decline and did not feel supported by management. Work life balance started to suffer.
