Tyco Employer Reviews

Very busy, multitasking work environment.
I learned almost every aspect of the company. Trained and cross trained in many departments.
Very close knit working environment. Very team oriented.
The hardest part of the job is when the company shut down and I lost my career.
The most enjoyable part of the job was the challenging work environment, always – more... changing and growing. – less

Extensive years in managing personnel with a proven ability to priortize and handle multiple tasks and projects concurrently. Goal orriented individual with solid teamwork skills, ability to learn/teach technical and complex information to personnel at all levels. Strong skills in communication, dedicated and long term employee. Proficient in one-on-one – more... training, as well as facilitator lead classroom training. – less

Tyco was a nice place tho work. They unfortunately moved sterling factory to Mexico and China.

Solid company, multiple global locations, relatively clear business model.

Average warehouse store person role
Started as agency temp, took offer of permanent position
Was squeezed into a one man operation working alongside someone who was badly affected by loss of overtime, causing difficulties not addressed my management

Good place to learn my quality inspection skills. Had a lot of fun time during summer picnics.

learned set up ,material handeling ,molding ,tool and die ,with th company 7 years they sent me to school for machine tool technology.

After 12 years of service and bring them between $6, 000.00 and $10, 000's a week. They laid me off. Then accused me of something i did not do. When i t was a sales man that lied to save his job. The management sucked. They never helped you out. Never helped the customer. But in facted screwed them in every way. They would sell them new equipment when – more... they didn't need it. When i tried to call human resources to file a complaint about what and how they let me go. Well its been 3 month's no . No phone call . Nothing. Need i say more. If you are a customer of this company. Get rid of them before they soak more money out of you. Get a second opinion when they tell you that you need something replaced. Good chance you don't need anything replaced.!!!! Don't trust the sales men and management. The commison sucks. Never got paid. They still owe me. – less

This place is indeed a joke. No organization, No sense of direction. They will hire you to sit and look at the wall all day. The work load is slow, and the supervisor's act like they're doing you a favor by paying you to sit there and STARE AT THE WALL. I had to ask for something to do repeatedly and even then, they would forget I even asked. Then i – more... was let go for "lack of motivation" but why would i be motivated to go there and be bored all day or be a scan girl. I forgot to mention, when I wasnt staring at the wall, one of the other girls made sure I scanned all of their paper since no one else liked scanning. – less

Great Opportunities
Great CFO
I enjoyed the high voiume of work
I liked there wasn't no micro management

All was great. I had one of the best managers ever. I learned a lot about plastic injection molds. And being the lead on the 2nd shift was a great accomplishment for me.

This place is a joke. Upper management is horrible. Plant Manager is the worst Ive seen. He solution to everything is write them up, get ride of them. He allows one of his supervisors to treat their employees horible. Management is the "good old boys" type. I would not recomend anyone waste their time thinking it could turn out to be a great career

Management does not like to be questioned or take suggestions. So called "focus groups" and "town hall meetings" are not designed to get your ideas they are so employees can tell management they are doing a good job. It is easy to get blackballed for lodging complaints even if it is done in a professional manner using the correct chain of command. Once – more... blackballed you will not be chosen for any activities that can expand your experience or allow you to learn new skills. When new jobs are posted managers go over to people they like i.e. quiet people who don't say anything and "encourage" (which is really an order) them to apply whether they want to apply or not. After applying many find out there is no raise attached to said promotion. Other who apply voluntarily are routinely excluded for being too active and volunteering too much.
It's easy to find yourself doing 3x the work you did before with no compensation. That's why they like the quiet ones after they find out they got promoted with no raise they are unlikely to say anything. Also if you back out of a so called promotion because there are no raises a person stands a good chance of never being considered again. If you can keep your head down and let them mess up your paycheck, make rules that conflict with each other, not give you adequate information to exceed at your job but still write you up for things you didn't know because you weren't told. Abide by rules made up on the spot.Then this is the place for you – less

I enjoyed assembling telecommunication panels because it kept me busy by operating different types of tools and following instructions from the diagram.

Very good company to work for. Good benefits.
Moved to Staford and I couldn't travel that far so I had to find a job closer to home and I quit. One year later Tyco moved back to the Northwest part of Houston. LOTS of lay offs due to the move.
I would love to go back to work there!
Great people to work with.

Repairing machines and building machines related to stamping industry.

I can't really voice an opinion regarding the full time benefits and pay , but the internships pay very well.

Learned a lot, great atmosphere and people. Pay was great for an internship.

Strong infrastructure to support project leaders & senior level engineers.
Management focus on cost & growth.
Innovators are rewarded.

Loved the company. Nice, friendly environment to work for.
