Pros

Unlimted opportunities, but beware. These opporunities may be because of the amount of restructuring and headcount reductions to meet finanical committments.

Cons

Tyco Installation and Services is behind the eight ball when it comes to field mobility tools. Competitors are light years ahead. IT support is non-existent. Senior management philosophy is do more with less. Though possible if investments are made in technology to streamline processes. Lastly, there is a false sense of their own value. They try to price themselves out of their financial problems with no regard for the market competition.

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.
