Great place - Fire Alarm Technician Total Fire Protection Employee Review

Amazing people, great work environment

Commute at times can be difficult

The benefits are alright. No micromanagement, everyone seems to work at their own pace. Steady work. 40-45 hour work weeks.

Not generous with the PTO. I have a disability where I am not able to drive some days (maybe 1-2 time a month) and have requested to work remotely those days as I am still able to perform. You must request a day in advance to work remotely which may or may not be denied, and since I cannot tell whether I am able to drive until the day of, I was forced to use my PTO. We are given 15 days, and the PTO does not transfer over to the next year. I feel as if everyone fends for themselves, meaning, I have no clue what the person next to me does. We work in relatively small teams, and each team player has a completely different job assignment. I am not able to perform my coworker's job, and they are not able to do mine. I keep trying to learn in case they are absent, however, they almost seem to guard their work. This makes working as a team incredibly difficult. As a growing company, TFP still has some kinks to work out. I give credit to management for trying to improve, but the methods just aren't working. Also, I wasn't allowed to go into the field? My title is APM, it is my responsibility to help the PM and this includes viewing projects in-person. It's all office work, which for me, is a no.
