Terrible company to work for, recycled management team from Otis and TK has taken over

Field service

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Not many and this company cannot be trusted anymore. Schindler is quickly on a down trend

Cons

The SOUTH FLORIDA management team is a DISASTER. Talented people will continue to be lost until changes are made and employees are treated with respect, they run a micro-management style. The field can't stand it anymore

Sales representative

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Compensation, work-life balance, team work, dynamic industry. The role is a great introduction to the industry/sales and you will be compensated based on what you put in.

Cons

Labor pool challenges. Customers are difficult and rarely reasonable. The union keeps the mechanic/technician labor force artificially low making completing jobs a balancing act. Your customers are mostly property management types with little to no mechanical know how, so there is some finesse and patience required there

3.0

Defensive and hostile environment

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Bonus rate is standardized and according to KPIs achieved

Cons

People do not help one another and often put up a defensive front when being approached
