Toxic, unsupportive and imperceptive workplace

Pros

Great team of technicians. All issues seem to be localised to QLD and or AUS. Other countries do not operate like this.

Cons

Schindler does not care about their customers. They plan ahead to miss promised maintenance and use middle management to be the face and cop all the complaints. There is no work life balance. You have to work 16+ hours a day just to get the bare minimum requirements of your job completed. Your phone will ring all day. All night. All weekend. In fact, people actually take their annual leave to catch up on work. There is zero support in this workplace. There is a systemic toxic culture and starts from the top down. Issues get raised and acknowledged with promise after promise to help or change however it's just a smokescreen until you forget about it or give up. This role had 7 people in 6 years burn out and have mental breakdowns.

Not all that great as the brand sounds. Not in India for sure.

Pros

Alternate Saturdays are working in branches and 5 days working for head office.

Cons

Too many documentation and process to be followed by employees. Out of pocket expenses for the company to be borne by the employee. Work life balance is close to zero. Deteriorating quality of products supplied. Price parity between offices and locations. Straight to field with no much training given.

Pros

Family feel across the business. There are some really good people working there.

Cons

Bad management across the board, no career development or progression opportunities. MD does not care for his staff. Next to no benefits package. This company does not care about its employees. Stuck in the dark ages, MD does not like people working from home, there is no flexibility on working hours unless you’re field staff when then you can basically come and go as you please.
