Horrible Experience

Pros

Health benefits are decent. I really don’t have much to put about pros. There are a few good people employed here.

Cons

Vacation is worst I’ve ever seen in a company. Do not care about employees unless they are making them tons of money. Opinions or thoughts are not valued unless part of the “brotherhood clan.” Horrible HR violations almost every day in the office. PMs are expected to work 24/7 and give up their life for Wachter, especially on the fire alarm team. Company leaders do not have ability to see faults in the company and improve. Inability to see the need of help coming. Do not hire additional resources for help until 6 months to a year later after employees are drowning. Little to no training provided. Inability to recognize good employees and invest back into them. They care much much more about making money than doing things the right way. Over work good office employees and good field technicians, do not hold bad employees accountable for lack of production. Do not provide opportunities for moving up or career growth. Bonus program is structured to only benefit directors and VP position. Bonus structure is not honored as promised, and worst I’ve ever seen. I would not recommend working here.
