Pros

The company tends to value a work/life balance. There are occasional company outings and parties to help engage employees.

Cons

Pelco often partitions its functions along rigid lines leading to impenetrable silos of knowledge and capability. Often times, wrangling an answer or solution out of someone or some organization produces a battle or wait far beyond the value of the desired outcome. Perhaps because of this, many people don't feel empowered to make meaningful decisions based on available data. Incentive "bonuses" are handed out as "Pelco points" that are good only for company-branded dress wear. Your base salary is your only income -- at least in Engineering.

Pros

Strong exposure to complex, high-value technical projects with cross-functional coordination across engineering, vendors, and clients. Opportunities to lead end-to-end project execution, from planning through commissioning and testing. High level of ownership and visibility, with meaningful impact on critical infrastructure and system integration.

Cons

High workload and competing priorities across multiple projects can create scheduling pressure. Coordination across multiple stakeholders and dependencies can lead to delays outside of direct control. Some processes and tools could be more standardized to improve efficiency and reduce rework.

Pros

- Decent pay and good benefits - work truck with gas card -good experience

Cons

- management is disconnected from field employees - review process does not reflect employee performance since managers do not go out in field in order to properly assess job performance - poor communication which leads to chaotic project implementation - no standardization of necessary info for each customer site. You walk in completely blind each time you visit a customer you’ve never been to - safety is important, but corporate pushes redundant messaging so frequently i believe it has the opposite of the intended effect - forced to wear long sleeves FR shirts in hot weather even when you are not exposed to fire hazards any more than a standard office employee
