Pros

The office offers some perks like great snacks and a ping pong tables. The work itself is relatively easy due to a lack of accountability, which may appeal to some but can be frustrating for those seeking a more structured and accountable environment.

Cons

The CEO fails to demonstrate effective leadership or foster a collaborative work environment. Signal Home Office experiences unusually high turnover, with former employees often considered fortunate for departing. The workplace culture resembles a cult-like atmosphere where differing viewpoints are unwelcome. The company’s five core values seem disconnected from its actual practices: Honesty & Integrity: The environment feels far removed from these principles. Ponzi Scheme comes to mind. Relationships: Employees and franchise owners are not treated with respect. Serving: The only thing being served appears to be the CEO’s ego. Learning: True learning is stifled, as those who had the expertise to teach have been dismissed. Passion: It feels empty and devoid of practical meaning. Additionally, management roles are often filled by individuals lacking the necessary qualifications. Here's a free piece of advice for the CEO: If Signal hopes to achieve its goal of becoming the world’s largest security provider, leadership needs a change. Consider transitioning to a role on the board and letting a capable CEO take the reins.

Pros

I cannot find any pros to this company.

Cons

Where to start... When I was hired, management was ambiguous about how much the pay was. Asked politely and I got the run around. Initially they wanted me to drive 2+ hours to a job site in their company car without pay. During the 40 hour state mandated class, the manager that was supposed to be teaching, wasn't even present in the room. When I asked about advancing my career, they told me one thing (a position was open) and then immediately after I applied they said the position had been filled (within 4 hours?) Body cams don't work at all. Cars are in serious disarray. Worked 9 nights in a row without a day off. Conclusion: If you are serious about this as a career field, there are much better companies.

Pros

- Helping contribute to the success of Franchises - the owners, team members and families. - Convention - it’s great, you will always go somewhere warm! (minus hearing about it 1 million times to make up for all the toxic things) - Coworkers - For the most part… however most of them have left now because of the bad culture.

Cons

When you first start, you think, “Wow, this is a place that I can contribute and make a great impact!” Then you start to notice all the things - the jumpstarts, the notables & quotables, the endless mandatory ‘trainings’ for franchise owners - all center around 1 person spewing continuous thoughts. Truly, the only person in the company that matters… and he will tell you or imply it all the time. So much so that the workers are bashed in conversation and for anyone that leaves, there is always a story that follows. Typically, that “they weren’t good/dedicated” or “the right fit”. No one can do a project right, but the 1 and he will tell you. … It’s funny how incompetent the leadership team is, but they somehow stay and EVERYONE else is the problem. Countless people leave or have left because of the leadership here. If you are a part of a ‘Sunday meeting group’ or are someone’s cousin’s brother from the ‘Sunday meeting group’, you’re good to go! Truly, the ones in power that have stayed are followers with no backbones. ‘Integrity’ is compromised consistently. The so called core values are stated, printed and hyped all the time. At the end of the day they mean nothing. Everyone is expendable, move on to the next best. Do as I say, no as I do. Unfortunately, it’s the franchise owners that have invested their money and life into trusting this system, that ultimately get the worst end of the deal. The corporate team members will keep leaving because of this toxic culture.
