SimplexGrinnell Employer Reviews

i will say that i did enjoy my job especially my co-workers. We became a family and thus it made coming to work each day a joy.

Managerial changes too often
Sales manager has too many direct reports

Typically every day is a challenge and one the felt very rewarding overall. Being in the life-safety business, what you did actually avesd peoples lives and property. I learned a great deal in my tenure at SimplexGrinnell, including the structure, P&L, HR, sales planning and development as well am much much more! The management are full of integrity, – more...  recognize talent and drive for results. My co-workers were a great team, we have done some amazing things despite a down economy in regards to growth and profitability. The hardest part of my job was not being able to get to every one of my customers' needs, both internal and external. There are many people that needed things, so prioritizing is a challenge. Overall the best part of the job is the people and the relationships that have been built. I was a part of something that was growing and that allows that ability to impact peoples lives in a positive way. – less

Not a great fit for me. Lots of gossip. I like the actual work I do.

They don't pay what you are worth so salary is very low. Management plays favourite so keep your mouth shut and don't complain about anything or you will be alienated and or pushed out.

A typical day at work was spent working with specialists from IT and the business to build new enhancements to the systems there. I learned about the consumer safety business which I had not worked with before. They have some very interesting challenges, particularly in terms of inventory and keeping all the right parts for servicing equipment in the – more...  hands of the technicians out in the field. The management was a good team, both on the IT side and the customer side. I found that working with both management teams to be a good learning experience. My co-workers were a really talented group of project managers and they made my stay there the most enjoyable part of the job. The hardest part of the job was just learning the business since it was new to me. – less

Management is weak. Opportunity for advancement only if you are part of the cliche.

Answer telephones, process accounts payable invoices, make calls for accounts receivables, open mail and distribute, assistant to Branch Manager, human resources (all paperwork for new hires, training and orientation), inventory, service calls and schedule inspections and back up to other positions.

I enjoyed working for this company when i was single, but now that i am married and have a baby I need more time to invest with him and her needs. Overall I would rate this company with a 7.

Coming up within the Grinnell fire protection culture kept to customer service and delivery of services that were beyound customers expectations, do what you said when you said how you said and fix an address any issues quickly.

There is no real training provided, people get thrown into situations that they are not familiar with and help is minimum. Company focuses on maximizing profits by using their employees to a maximum that might not be reasonable in my opinion.

SimplexGrinnell, an ever changing atmosphere that will build your career skills faster and more reliable than any training you could ever take.

this co. needs to focus on the people that work there by taking of them better, such as equal treatment to all employees no matter what there position in the company maybe.Job security is very poor and the room for advancement is none exsistent.

Productive Workplace. Get thr job done ASAP. There is nothing more to say!

This company starts off with LIFE SAFETY devices. Just that alone sticks out. They value customers. They build you up to be the best you can because this product saves lives.

There was no room for advancement for women at the Charlotte location or for employees of color. Management was unsupportive and had no compassion.

SimplexGrinnell is a great company to work.

Opportunity to excel in other areas beyond your normal work duties, which keeps the overall day exciting.

In general, all the people I've met at SimplexGrinnell are good hard working people. family oriented and a pleasure to work with.

SimplexGrinnell has always been a forward looking company, changing – more...  and growing all the time.

As a plus it offers a great list of benefits; such as health, dental, vision, life, etc. – less

Very good company to work for, very fair and competent middle management. However, senior level executive management, at the corporate level was somewhat out-of touch.
