Good company, Good Manager, Poor project coordination - Avis employé Tech Sentry Control Systems

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.

Sentry is a high growth company and gives tremendous opportunities for personal professional growth to all of its employees. The company has tripled in the last 5 years in a period of time where significant change has come to the parking industry. Sentry is viewed as an innovator of best in class products and solution, and Sentry is known for phenomenal service. Our parent company, SKIDATA, opens opportunities anywhere in the country and anywhere in the world, which means our employees get to interact with and work with a global workforce. In the last couple of years, we have been lucky enough to attract top talent in the industry from Australia, Holland, Austria, and the UK. Our team is more diverse than ever before, and that diversity is essential to our continued success.

Growth can be uncomfortable at times. Onboarding and training at scale have been a challenge; however, Sentry has taken significant steps to emphasize the importance of training and knowledge as we head into 2017 and beyond. The number of already scheduled domestic and international training opportunities for Sentry employees in 2017 is more than double the amount of training which took place in 2016. What has been a weaker link in the last couple of years should become a strength soon.
