Pros

Interesting work, regional and international opportunities

Cons

Management since 2013 has only been interested in stock price and cost cutting to bolster stock price. Not interested in product investment or innovation. Answer for most issues was to fire someone.

Pros

There is brand recognition but that is diminishing as we shift focus away from customers and employees to shareholders and margins.

Cons

George Oliver will cost this company to death just like he did to legacy Tyco. Merger is a disaster. IT cannot figure out how to make the already antiquated Tyco systems integrate. People spend entire days just trying to get systems to work instead of being in front of customers. Benefits have decreased. Cost of them increased. Senior “leadership”is more than willing to cause serious financial damage to employees to show false growth through unsustainable cost cuts. No support or communication from above, just “give us more”. They are so far disconnected from what goes on at the district level it is laughable.
