good diverse workplace
Quality Control Inspector (Former Employee), East Berlin, PA – January 10, 2013
Pros: good working conditions
Cons: job insecurity
When I was hired, I was told honestly that Tyco does go through lay-offs, so I understood that going in. I was eventually layed off from the E. Berlin facility.

The plant generally had good managers that set good examples. One thing I found frustrating was the long-term employees so set in their ways it almost became impossible for a new person to – more... feel welcome. – less

Coordinator III (Contract) (Current Employee), Houston, TX – December 31, 2012
Pros: flexible work schedule
Typical day begins with project status. Learned that communicatino is key. Management always communicates with us. My co-workers are always willing to help. Hardest part of the job is waiting on the customer to communicate back. The most enjoyable is when the job closes.

TYCO/ADT
Senior Commercial Installer (Former Employee), Charleston, SC – December 16, 2012
Cons: pay was little low
This is the best place that I have ever worked. Loved the atmosphere, the men, the company. First place that I had ever worked that I felt like a valuable asset to them. Only reason I left was relocate to help take care of brother in laws child. I would still be there and probably stayed there until retirement.

Working at Tyco was very good experience, I learned a lot in my new job role as Sales Manager. Co-workers & colleagues were very cooperative & supportive. The hardest part was facing sales review meetings. The most enjoyable part of the job was traveling.

Dead end job. Very disorganized. Policies and procedures change constantly. My team went through four managers in two years.
senior commercial account executive (Current Employee), south florida – December 12, 2012
Pros: coworkers, coffee
Cons: incompetant management, disorganization within the chain of sales to install. policy and procedure inconsistancy.
A regional manager that has made it impossible for any success of the commercial team members or their managers to do thier job with integrity.. It is truly a shame corporate is blinded. Hence why they cannot retain qualified managers or sales team members.
