Pros

Family environment with current employees minus all of the managers

Cons

NEW Management is not knowledgeable about the company and insist on doing their way which don't involve showing any appreciation or care for the employees, NEW management from the CEO down is driving the company in the ground. All the good managers are leaving this company like the plague. Unless you previously worked for either Motorola or Tell labs you will not move up in the company. The company continues to hire from the outside instead of promoting from within and training employees. The company doesn't have a career development plan for employee, so employees have a glass ceiling. Company has a serious problem with lack of communication. The company need to stop changing the organization every 3 months, stick to one plan.

Pros

You MIGHT get a boss that cares

Cons

HR at Federal Signal consistently fails to protect employees or uphold even basic standards of fairness. Issues are ignored until they become crises, complaints are brushed off, and there’s a clear pattern of siding with management instead of addressing legitimate concerns. Communication is vague, inconsistent, and often intentionally evasive. Policies are enforced selectively, favoritism is obvious, and HR’s approach to employee wellbeing feels performative at best. Instead of creating a safe, accountable workplace, HR contributes to confusion, mistrust, and a culture where employees feel disposable and unsupported. That now hiring sign outside will be there for a VERY long time
