Pros

Strong Leadership. Managers take their job seriously and care about their work. Strict rules to follow, easy to access and understand. Trainers are knowledgeable and good at setting new employees up for success. Decent health plans, Dental & Vision included.

Cons

Call Center environment, noisy coworkers, takes a while to get the shift you want. New entry level employees are being paid higher wages than higher level longtime employees.

Pros

Decent pay. Potential future business growth.

Cons

Pretends to be military friendly but the culture is incompatible with the ethics and training of military personnel. Constantly changing directions and decisions, no central leadership on any topic - hide behind matrix environment for lack of leadership and management skills, elitist, poor benefits that get worse every year of employment, horrible/2 faced and untrained managers - particularly directors and VPs, promote constant fear that you will lose your job, no actual care for goal setting/achievement for employees or help in growing them, unethical: do not honor contract obligations, no accountability for employee actions, must be a "yes man" to be promoted. You must be willing to put up with a lot.

Pros

Legacy employees post Tyco merger still retain some of their earned benefits Good facilities with amenities

Cons

Leadership is clueless. No change management going on in any coherent way. There is no true innovation going on, company is stale and is now forced to go into cost cutting mode to keep making quarterly earnings numbers in the hope that investors will gain interest in the company. More splitting up of assets coming, is this a private equity play taking place behind the scenes?
