Pros: Job security is solid in the access solutions industry. As a Project Coordinator, I learned a lot about our product lines. The hybrid work option was good, and benefits are decent.
Cons: The company culture feels pretty stuck in the past. It's tough to get new ideas heard from younger employees. We're slow to adopt modern tech, which makes some internal processes feel really inefficient.
Advice to Management: Try to embrace newer technologies and listen more to the team, especially those in Project Coordinator roles. Updating internal systems and communication channels would help a lot for this corporate environment.

Pros: It's a big, established corporate company so there's some stability. As a Project Manager, I had a decent amount of autonomy to manage my schedule, especially with the hybrid work option. The Indianapolis office culture was mostly friendly.
Cons: Work-life balance can get tough during critical project phases, especially in the access solutions industry. Sometimes you're expected to put in extra hours to hit deadlines. It's not always a consistent 40-hour week.
Advice to Management: Try to standardize project timelines better to prevent crunch periods. More consistent support for Project Managers would help balance workloads.

Pros: I appreciate the hybrid model for us as Software Engineers; we usually get 2-3 days remote. It's helpful for balancing personal stuff and a nice option to have in the physical security industry.
Cons: True work flexibility really depends on your manager and department. Not everyone in the Indianapolis, IN office gets the same WFH options, especially those in manufacturing. It can feel a bit unfair when others are always onsite.
Advice to Management: Try to standardize flexibility policies across all eligible departments, not just make it manager-dependent. More transparency on what roles can be truly remote would help.
