Pros

All of us coworkers are in the same boat

Cons

Cons Absolutely no respect for employees- public shaming is normal in front of department and teammates (including in front of CPO). This is the largest issue with leadership. While the company is preaching "role clarity" and "health", there's a butt-in-seat expectation on the teams with mandatory meetings starting at 7am. Deadlines which are not achievable are given, especially at the close of the year. Relationships with suppliers are easily tested to close financial gaps. Environment is INCREDIBLY hostile/selfish with the facade of "coaching". Lack of respect/coaching is apparent with sole focus on savings, and there's been recent preaching of this changing, yet actions and meetings are focused on JUST THIS. Lastly, there is a very large rift between Category Management and Business Units which is perpetuated by individuals which have been around in the company and are not leaving, so a change is incredibly unlikely and has not been apparent in the last year.

Pros

Decent pay, good PTO and benefits

Cons

Everything else. ZERO training. They hand you a laptop (which is garbage) and say good luck. There is no "team." Everyone is on their own. The senior techs all reached their peak 20 years ago and don't even know what BACnet is. The bureaucracy is unbearable. Ordering a simple part is nearly impossible. There are so many apps you have to check in on everyday and they care more about those metrics than they care about the service their customers are receiving. If you want to get your butt kicked everyday with zero support at a company that specializes in taking advantage of their customers, this is the job for you.
