Business Outlook

Pros

At one time it was a good company with advancement opportunities.

Cons

A big corporate machine that only cares about checking boxes and looking good to investors. Constantly hiring employees and laying people off. They have had layoffs the last four years. The values are clearly not what they should be to have good, talented, people working there. If you are considering employment, let this be stepping stone while you search for something better.

Powertec Pumps ltd (JCI) rotten to the core

Pump service tech

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

None really it is totally mismanaged by guys that used to work for the last owner, since being taken over the management and most of the staff in the office sit on their laurels and couldn’t give a crap about the engineers, I was often crossing other engineers going to my town to work, whilst I would go to theirs.

Cons

No decent tooling, no training, no organisation of parts, would have to travel 4-5hours each way to stock up because the office said they could send out parts, work software and phones done on the cheap, no expense float but company wanted you to purchase parts, sometimes putting 3 sites a day on your planner, knowing full well you had to cut corners and not do you job correctly to fit 3 jobs in, cutting corners in fire protection is going to cause a fire one day!!! Just a firm gone wrong..

Good company on a larger scale but regional management is pretty bad

Truck based service manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits and opportunities for growth

Cons

You are told it is your business to run, but then micromanaged and overridden at every turn. Lack of leadership at the regional level all the way down. Absolute worst management at the branch level that I have ever seen in a 40 year career.
