      Pros

      they have one of the best fire panels on the market IMO. Have been trained on several systems. Simplex is by far the most robust and logical to use. Thing i can do in software has to be done with relay logic in other panels. The bigger the system, the more it shines.

      Cons

      you are a number to them and they will use and abuse you if you don't have a spine. Pretty much have to quite before they will give you any type of big raise beyond the 1 to 3 % cost of living bump and manger's are limited on the % hand out to a group for the district. if you get more the guy next to you is get less.

      Pros

      Decent pay, good PTO and benefits

      Cons

      Everything else. ZERO training. They hand you a laptop (which is garbage) and say good luck. There is no "team." Everyone is on their own. The senior techs all reached their peak 20 years ago and don't even know what BACnet is. The bureaucracy is unbearable. Ordering a simple part is nearly impossible. There are so many apps you have to check in on everyday and they care more about those metrics than they care about the service their customers are receiving. If you want to get your butt kicked everyday with zero support at a company that specializes in taking advantage of their customers, this is the job for you.
