Easily the worst place I have ever worked

Pros

There is a 20 letter minimum for this section. **crickets**

Cons

If you are a decent salesperson RUN AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. The sales plan is terrible and the company will add little to no value to your selling efforts. However…. Do you want to work in an oppressive environment with horrible benefits? One where management is stingy, arrogant, chauvinistic, and entitled--with a decision making style that is shortsighted, chaotic, and reactive? Knight Security Systems just might be the place for you! Employees are unappreciated! People are laid off without warning! There is a complete lack of structure and process documentation! Seriously though, for a company that touts being on the forefront of security technology there is an embarrassing lack of internal systems/technology. Management clearly prefers clinging to old school methodologies and business practices which in turn makes growth....painful.

Pros

- I was fortunate enough to work with some good, hard working coworkers until they would eventually leave and replaced with gradually less bearable people with very little common sense or knowledge of proper installation, programming, and/or servicing of the products. They simply don't have the ability to keep a strong team intact.

Cons

- Unfair compensation. They continue to pay below market regardless of how many hours you work, how many certifications you gain, or how much additional responsibilities you take on. - Terrible insurance. It's just a joke, not much else needed to understand poor insurance plans. - Lazy management. Except for one individual, I never once saw someone from the office help with the work load. If your service backlog is stacking up and you have the knowledge then pull up your bootstraps and help the company keep their customers happy. - Salesman sell dreams, no reality. If you sell a certain product make sure you understand it's abilities and limitations. Selling a customer a system with the promise that it'll open the door for them using facial recognition when the most it can do is take a physically pressed code to unlock is ridiculous. This is a bit of an exaggeration, but it isn't far from reality with the promises made and then having the customer upset with the technician that the system isn't doing what they were promised it would. - Poor leadership. There is no leadership, there is only lazy people who have snaked their way up the ladder barking orders to underpaid, overworked, under appreciated technicians.

Pros

(Crickets)...but I have to write a minimum of twenty (20) words here, so this is how I ultimately satisfy requirement.

Cons

Company penalizes the Salesperson by reducing commissions when Ops botches ordering parts or delays install. Another reviewer was spot on in negative assesment of Knight Security in their review, most of the positive reviews appear to be loaded, especially those by current (favorite) employees which skews the overall star rating. I should have trusted my instincts and passed on the offer. Would not recommend this company to anybody that has bills to pay.
