work is work at the end of the day, I would try it out and if you feel their assessments are not suitable or sufficient then leave

Or suggest to them ways in which they could improve the service provided.

It all harks back to who is going to be responsible for RA's doesn't it?
Even those on the Dark Side don't want direct responsibility i.e. hiring consultants, and apparently there are some just waiting for the first court cases to raise there ugly heads.

tick tock, tick tock..........

Does anyone know if Cubb employ their fire alarm sales people in a similar ad hoc /self employed way?

I recently saw a Chubb fire alarm quote which was terribly presented on plain paper (no Chubb letterhead), had numerous spelling mistakes and quoted for a L2 system despite being requested to quote for a M system!!

It had also been printed on a Mickey Mouse printer which had smeared some of the text, it really didn't incite confidence in Chubb at all. They didn't get the job!

I personally feel it would be wrong to comment on the standards of a competitor- people in glass houses etc etc.
However lets not get too carried away with our criticism of any one  organisation because lets face it most of the industry and the so called big players work in the same way using a network of self employed consultants. Even the FPA work this way.  I have never worked for Chubb but have in the past  worked for a couple of other companies with a huge front and publicity and no substance behind it, all mouth and no trousers. Sales machines and nothing else, in one case a posh London address that is nothing more than a mailbox.

The difference between the good and the bad  is how carefully they monitor the standards of their associates work and what they have in place to keep their associates up to date. Some are good at this but for many the backup and support is non existant.
