Pros

Professional organization. Pioneer in the industry that invests in the future. They also are committed to growing their own and building leaders.

Cons

Reps are penalized financially for cancellations of accounts, even if the cancellation was not caused by their negligence. Otis falls into the trap that most elevators do by lowering maintenance hours to continue to try and get high margins for their service. Ultimately the customer suffers from this.

Ethics? What Ethics?

Pros

Opportunity to work with some of the nicest people (non-management). Great stepping stone into the elevator world. They are number one in safety.

Cons

Ethics don't apply to management. It's preached but not practiced. Treatment of some employees by management walks that fine harassment line. Chauvinistic attitudes from bosses. Women are to be seen and not heard. HR will support management 100% of the time. HR & Management= Spin Doctor

Pros

Superior educational benefits, although they tax you toward the end of the year and in my case, take away half my check. So school isn't free, but paying 25% is better than having to pay it all.

Cons

Women are relegated to administrative positions. Apparently, ovaries are required to answer phones and to perform other menial tasks men are never asked to do. Otis prides itself on being "green" yet our office is contributing to deforestation with the massive amounts of paper being generated in the office.
