Simplify Jobs

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Lumos partnership still expands bundled fiber-plus-security offers across Southeast markets.
  • CPI was actively hiring in July 2026, with 96 open roles and on-site engineering jobs.
  • The Fourth Circuit affirmed CPI’s $189 million Vivint verdict on July 22, 2025.

What critics are saying

  • Vivint can still appeal to the Supreme Court, delaying or shrinking CPI’s $189 million recovery.
  • CPI’s 2020 racism-and-retaliation allegations still shadow recruiting, sales culture, and partnerships.
  • Select-state coverage caps growth; ADT and Vivint outspend CPI nationally, squeezing margins.

What makes CPI Security unique

  • CPI’s Southeast footprint and local installation network stay focused on regional homeowners.
  • Alarm.com-backed smart home security, plus Night Guard and in-app panic features, deepen retention.
  • The July 2025 Vivint appellate win validated CPI’s customer-defection litigation playbook.
