Pros

- Well known organization. - Opportunity to learn and increase knowledge. - Opportunity to work in various and challenging projects. - Good quality products and one of the market leaders in the business. - Insanely high salaries and benefits for upper class employees.

Cons

- Company values are only on paper. - Constant change of company structure and goal plans. - Very little resources to aid in day-to-day work requirements. - Racial and sex discrimination. - HR is disrespectful and extremely racist (it's a Mafia). - Very low salaries for middle and lower class employees. - Workplace environment is filthy and depressing. - Scope of responsibilities are unlimited. - Insane work loads and working hours. - Responsibilities are not evenly distributed among team members. - Promotions are awarded based on politics and not on performance. - Vacations are rejected for the smallest reasons (even during emergencies).

Pros

Good Benefits, professional HR department, Good safety program

Cons

They have tried to become the most sophisticated Facility Maintenance provider in the word and have numerous programs to do it. Problem is everything seems to be based on Excel....gather tons of info...but extracting the information becomes a time consuming endeavor and we all spend our time on the computer and not managing the buildings... Low bidders don't have the staffing necessary to provide such grandiose schemes...

Pros

Well compensated, good benefits. Great for anyone in any position who wants to learn accounting and business metrics. If you are not in finance, you will be.

Cons

Sr. Leadership is not held accountable. They are focused on near term metrics that have a devastating effect on the long term success of the business. Senior leaders are satisfied with incremental business with low profit margins. These leaders are not held accountable for poor business decisions -- instead, when it becomes apparent, they are more likely rotated to another part of the company.
