Pros

Flexible work schedule, every day is different

Cons

Understaffed, they run lean, lay off people prematurely, expect others to pick up the slack and then realize oh maybe we shouldn't have laid off ppl. Lots of politics, no room for advancement

Pros

A big company, so good on a resume.

Cons

Management reward people who tick off maintenance even though they have no idea how to repair anything or fault find. You can have no understanding of how lifts and escalators work but as long as you fill out the jobs on the phone you will get looked after. A great place to work if you’re an incompetent technician. An awful place to work if you’re honest and good at your job. If your good at your job you will be used and abused until you’re completely burnt out. There is no training or professional development. You get pigeonholed as only being able to do a certain job and if you stay that’s all you will ever do. Management ignore safety incidents raised that could have resulted in damage to equipment and/or customer injury or death. Somehow near miss incidents raised never get acknowledged or discussed at safety committees. Only forgotten about. The sundries repair department is the biggest concern. Sending you to jobs with no parts, asking you to get details on jobs that have already been completed and customer paid for. Asking you to carry out repairs in an unsafe way and asking you to use parts that won’t work because they have ordered the wrong parts.
