Pros

- Higher than average salary - Co-workers were really good and willing to help

Cons

- The trainings are really poor. - EMEA Technical Support Teams are clearly understaffed. - Management is trying to increase revenue by cutting expenses instead of improving the products. Most of the employees at my office are looking to change. - Lower management is over-controlling: you may receive warnings if some day you stay in the toilet more time than allowed. Productivity is a secondary factor. - No possibility of promotion and no career opportunities in IT.

Pros

SimplexGrinnell is a great company....at some branches. Great benefits. In most situations, guys work beyond what's normal, as a team, to achieve a common goal. Gas card, and take trucks home. constantly on the move.

Cons

The quality of inspectors are getting worse. The company thinks supplementing bodies for quality is a good idea. Have of these boneheads at this branch, can't identify what a deficiency is. Even the ones who are supposedly NICET qualified. The office is completely without structure, the service guys completely gaff off NFPA standards. Its really sad. I wont give SimplexGrinnell as a whole a bad name, as I've worked at several branches. The company is supposed to be about fire protection services. Instead, they are only focused on closing tasks to collect the money tied to them. whether the job is correct or not. Management should be ashamed at the level of "expertise" they hire. That's from the top down. I'm sure Bob Chauvin would not approve. The moral is awful as well. HR, what's that? The pay is laughable when you consider all the paperwork, logistics, sales and lead work they ask you to perform. Schedulers need training so more time is spent working, and less time is spent behind the windshield.
