Pros

Bonus Structure was lucrative 35-40% of base salary in Mgmt Positions. Field Technicians are strong. Field Service Tool is good.

Cons

New CEO has gutted the organization and lost vision. Customer service has taken a backseat to Margins. Margin expectations are so high that it makes TKE uncompetitive in the market place. People are treated as expendable and they have a "what have you done for me today mentality" Consistently Cut support roles and dump workload on remaining employees, who are already overwhelmed and overworked. No job is safe, restructurings are frequent.

Pros

TK Elevator has a recognizable brand and offers exposure to a large, complex organization. There are opportunities to work with talented individuals and gain experience supporting a broad range of operations. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the company has the resources to drive meaningful initiatives.

Cons

My experience was that the work environment was highly dependent on individual leadership styles. Communication and expectations were not always consistent, and there was limited emphasis on coaching, employee development, and constructive feedback. As a result, the environment could at times feel reactive rather than collaborative. Work-life balance and employee well-being appeared to vary considerably across teams. Employees who value transparency, empowerment, and a supportive leadership culture should take time during the interview process to understand the management philosophy of their prospective team, as experiences may differ significantly depending on reporting structure.
