Flock Safety

What is the best part of working at the company?
The installer position is more of a construction type job  the pay definitely doesn’t meet the demand that is put on installers  flight team is overworked and aren’t supplied the proper construction equipment for the job , there is a very high rate of disability and the insurance is in adequate I personally used my retirement insurance when needed.  Flight team manager and field supervisors put personal at risk and really are lacking real Training .

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
All training comes from recreated YouTube videos , the job really isn’t a true cctv installers position more of a construction atmosphere hand digging and cement work.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Being lead by people that have never done field work properly if at all and is completely remote. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Going shopping for materials on the fly at Home Depot to complete over scheduling jobs

Flock offers good health benefits, they offer unlimited time off, and you could really make your own day if you got priorities taken care of. Beyond that, management was not supportive. When help was asked for, it wasn’t given. Management was extremely disorganized. Good ideas were not listened to. They preached work life balance but then didn’t support it. The CEO told us “most of you won’t be here long” and that hard work was rewarded with “solving tough problems” 
Upper leadership was only concerned with making the company profitable and they were willing to get rid of anyone that stood in the way of that, even if they were valuable in other areas. The pay was excellent, but the work environment was extremely stressful and toxic. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Terrible field supervisors and zero Safety precautions followed for field employees job needs . 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Individual job expectations without tam work . Job is a complete safety hazard , definitely a two man job 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Free for all . But cut corners on regulating spending on the field employees who actually should have the biggest budget.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Shopping for tools or equipment at Home Depot to do the assigne work Working on side of road hand digging holes and setting cement Alone no safety watch usually in a bad nieghborhood or busy highway

What is the best part of working at the company?
Going home after work. I lost more than 30 pounds from sweating every day and they have too much given to field techs at one time and inventory is terrible 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working and knowing what is expected of you when you already feel the jobs need better digging tools but you have to dig holes 36 inches deep 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I’m thinking it’s ok if you feel like it is a great match for you but you should have two men working together or have power tools that work properly

Drive, do all inventory, take a phone call for a meeting, drive and sweat and do several difficult jobs daily

What is the best part of working at the company?
The benefits and flexibility are very good 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No real sops or plans for accomplishing anything. Communication is not great. Lots of lofty goals without plans of attack (fly by the seam of your pants). Though this is common for startups, it’s worse at Flock.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Can be good, nice people overall. But the management can be very catty and uncommunicative. Lots of issues with things falling through cracks due to this

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Can be dead or putting out 40 fires at once. Just not sure what it’s going to be

Flock Safety is an amazing company overall, but there are some areas that could use improvement. Unfortunately, there are instances where certain individuals prioritize their friendships and overlook others, leading to unfair treatment. Additionally, some supervisors take their job titles too seriously and tend to ignore their subordinates, while the managers could be more understanding. I would suggest providing retraining for supervisors and managers to ensure fair treatment for everyone. On a positive note, the unlimited PTO policy is fantastic, but it would be beneficial to increase the starting pay for technicians. Without the technicians, the company wouldn't be nothing

This is an awful company to work for. People with zero management experience get promoted  over and over but receive little to no leadership training. Yet, they are put in positions to make big decisions with no oversight. Expectations for employees are either not set or are unattainable. The unlimited vacation is a joke - you’re too busy to take it and some managers will make you feel guilty for taking a day. Leadership regularly pats themselves on the back, but the people actually doing the work get no credit. The bottom line is no matter how hard you work, if you are not part of a clique, you will not do well here. 

Pros:
take home vehicles, start day at home and end day at home. Don’t report to an office everyday, just grab materials from remote storage yard and start day.  A lot of local travel so each day feels different. My direct manager is awesome.


Cons: I started when flock was still very new. It has since blown up and feels like it is becoming more and more corporate. Less freedoms and more higher ups concerned with their “numbers” I.e. inventory numbers, time tracking, job completion rates etc. 
Also limited opportunity for growth in the field operations side of things. 

As a traveling technician you don’t have a work life balance you travel all the time maybe home for a day if your lucky and your supervisors are micromanaging the entire time adding stress to your business life as well, company is new so there very unorganized and changes everyday to work and expect you to apply them right away no errors or will compromise your job 

Just started at Flock Safety.  It's a very forward looking team, everyone has a key role and every member of the team is vital to its success.  With COVID the office is not yet open but everyone is so eager to get back to it, there is a real sense of camaraderie.  

My direct manager is available when needed, coaches forward and is supportive.  Expectations are high, this is a startup, but once you buy-in to the mission, the expectations are necessary to keep the team on track.
