      Pros

      Its a paycheck. If you need one badly enough. Decent equipment and people, but its nothing special. And because this is an industry where you need to differentiate yourself, its a very hard sell.

      Cons

      These guys are slowly going out of business. Everyday is like a cliff hanger. You basically never know when they will decide to hang it up and go home. Kenwood buying them is basically just prolonging the inevitable. Its going to take a few more years, but dropping sales, overextended people, and lack luster management will eventually take its toll on a once decent company.

      Thank you for taking the time to write a review. As you know, we have experienced changes since JVCKENWOOD purchased us several years ago, as is typical anytime a business is acquired. We have had some growing pains and have had to make some course corrections along the way. We remain confident in our employees who are committed to bringing great products to the public safety market we serve as we continue to make safe, simple. We thank you for your candid feedback and wish you the best going forward.

      Pros

      Understand the idea of work life balance. Supervisor is very approachable and loves to teach. Upper management is also approachable. Down to earth co workers and management.

      Cons

      Really can't complain about benefits. The cost is reasonable. Pay could be higher.

      Great People - No Work/Life Balance

      Pros

      We have about the sharpest engineering team I have ever worked on. Every single person knows their stuff and are helpful and fun. The products we create are leading edge and have a direct impact on first responders' ability to do their jobs. The company culture is great - HR is committed to making EFJ a great place to work. We have flexible hours (per manager), casual dress, & frequent events. Benefits are pretty good for the size of company.

      Cons

      Completely understaffed in every department. The engineers do customer support in addition to crazy deadlines from sales committing to dates without asking engineering if it's even possible. Management's response is "thanks, keep working to make up the difference". Laughable to no bonuses for anyone below director. The same VP is responsible for marketing and engineering - so there is no one to balance the sales requests vs. reality for producing quality products. Time-off policy is pretty stingy (2 weeks until 5 years) - and it's old-school separate vacation/sick time instead of one bucket of PTO. So, you can have tons of sick time and no vacation and be stuck.
