High Growth, Customer Focused Culture - Vice President of Sales Sentry Control Systems Employee Review

Sentry Control Systems has always been a great company to work for. There has never been a single year that it has not grown. There are lots of growing pains but I would rather have this problem than worry about what I was going to be doing tomorrow. With the growth comes lots of opportunities for relocation and advancement. If you like to move up quickly and you don't ind hustling, this is the right place for you. Great benefits, company cars, flexible hours, no hard start times and lots of autonomy to complete your work. They treat you like adults and expect you to take care of your responsibilities and manage yourself.

The decentralized management and flexible approach requires more responsibility and initiative from the individual employees. Not everyone knows how to behave in this environment. This is a for profit company which means that there is a balance between adding new resources and maintaining profitability. This applies lots of pressure on existing staff.

Relatively good benefits, declining now that acquired by European company. This firm used to be the best of the best, happy clients and employees alike. Today it is unhappy clients, employees and a constant revolving door of turn over because of the culture that has become acceptable here.

Lacking manpower, direction, not a team environment, over extends employees, sets unreasonable expectations for both employees and clients. Currently this company is over committing to projects they can not perform nor have the resources to perform. Has not met sale goals thus no bonuses paid for those who work hard to make the impossible happen. This company values no one! You are just a means to an end.
