Contributor - Customer Service bei Simark Controls: Mitarbeiterbewertung

The current Service Department Manager is easy to work with. There is a small workout room for free use by employees. There is a "Social Committee" that provides fun activities for employees every few months (BBQs, Bowling, Wine Pool, etc) Overtime work is sometimes available, but optional. Promotions/Raises are possible if you put the effort in. The hours and location are decent. People who create drama seem to be weeded out quite quickly. Senior management is amiable, if somewhat detached.

It feels like a revolving door company. There are always new employees in new positions. Most employees do not stay for longer than 2 years. No optical coverage included in benefits. The salary seems average at best. It feels like there are many things going on behind closed doors that are not openly shared with employees. The 2015 oil crisis is not helping the company's outlook. Many employees have been laid off this year.

Decent salary. $700 monthly car allowance (for Outside Sales only).

Unorganized. No formal business processes. No corporate structure. Just a "get'er done" mentality (not bad for customers but very frustrating for employees). Nepotism runs high in the Calgary office-deal with it, or else. Sales team dictates the direction of the company. Senior Management are all trapped in the 80's (they sell complex automation and instrumentation products but, can barely use a cell phone competently, let alone a computer). VPs are all gutless yes-men who blindly carry out the orders of Senior Management without thought of their own.
