Pros

Flexible work arrangements, decent pay, generally good teamwork. Benefits are average. Opportunity to work on global initiatives. Decent compensation packages.

Cons

Leadership at the top is clueless and have no vision or strategy. The new CIO is solely focused on cost (meaning headcount reductions mostly) which what he focused on at Tyco. JCI is a very different company with different objectives and he does not get that. Sad to say but he may be in over his head. Big "good old boy" network - roles are based on who you know not what you do. Not a great work environment now with merger activities.

Pros

SimplexGrinnell is a great company....at some branches. Great benefits. In most situations, guys work beyond what's normal, as a team, to achieve a common goal. Gas card, and take trucks home. constantly on the move.

Cons

The quality of inspectors are getting worse. The company thinks supplementing bodies for quality is a good idea. Have of these boneheads at this branch, can't identify what a deficiency is. Even the ones who are supposedly NICET qualified. The office is completely without structure, the service guys completely gaff off NFPA standards. Its really sad. I wont give SimplexGrinnell as a whole a bad name, as I've worked at several branches. The company is supposed to be about fire protection services. Instead, they are only focused on closing tasks to collect the money tied to them. whether the job is correct or not. Management should be ashamed at the level of "expertise" they hire. That's from the top down. I'm sure Bob Chauvin would not approve. The moral is awful as well. HR, what's that? The pay is laughable when you consider all the paperwork, logistics, sales and lead work they ask you to perform. Schedulers need training so more time is spent working, and less time is spent behind the windshield.
