Pros

1) As HR says, "Be happy you have a job!" 2) Florida 3) Reasonable salary at hire 4) No one ever got fired for making a mistake 5) A nice group of people, for the most part

Cons

1) Currently making employees re-apply for their jobs. A woman who's been there 35 years apparently was unqualified for her own position, so she was fired. 2) Florida 3) Salary likely to remain at that original level for the forseeable future: no raises for 2 years 4) Very few mistakes made because very few people ever have to make a decision 5) Don't get too close to anyone because they won't be there tomorrow

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.
