Johnson Controls Employer Reviews

Johnson Controls is on paper an excellent company, a typical day consisted of building maintenance, quality control and attempting to meet the needs of the clients. I learned a great deal about building operations and client management. I found a majority of the staff helpful committed to the job and enjoyable. My experience with management was poor – more... they had no problem requiring you to work 6-7 days a week and often put off the hope of an apprenticeship. The relationship between staff and management was often toxic and un truthful, it was unfortunate that so many good staff were treated un fairly in order to make bonuses for those who clearly did not deserve it. The job itself was enjoyable and often challenging, but overall challenging due to the corporate ideology – less

Workplace are good.The environment are okay.People are nice and friendly.

This company is a joke to work for. They use bill 168 as an excuse to fire people who actually do their jobs. Team leaders back stab you and management has a system in place 90 % temp workers 10 % fulltime . . this should indicate something to future prospects.

challenging;learned how automotive plastic parts are manufactured.;co -workers are kind and cooperative.

-schedule valves, dampers, room and point controllers for major HVAC systems; such as, schools, hospitals and shopping malls
-contact suppliers for most suitable products for the project
-work with engineers on calculating fluid dynamics for HVAC systems
-design flow layouts for control schematics of individual components

This was a good job, good people and great time. It was very repetative work, but rotating through several jobs during the day made it a lot better. It was a sad day when this company decided to move locations.

by far the best employer I have worked for. they keep you on your toes but only to a point where u enjoy it. Senior management follows an open door policy and make it a point to interact with all the employees regularly, following a path of continuous improvement.
very rigid when it comes to ethics and integrity, the back bone of the company.
125 years – more... later, still encourage inovation. – less

this is a very good company that takes pride in production staff and team members are friendly and helpful towards each other

i learn too much in air conditioning while my previous employer is plastic molding parts with 8yrs in experience

As a coop student I learned a lot of valuable skills while working there while also applying my knowledge from my skills working there.

Extremely high paced enviroment with good competitive wages very good benefits as well as comfortable work conditions. This job was fast paced repeatitive although clean it had several cases of injury due to repetition.The job was interesting with several different processes.This job offered good wages as well as quarterly bonus for performance.Benefits – more... were extremely fair allowing good coverage in all aspects. – less

I got tonnes of O.T. with these guys I wish I could get my job there back in fact. MIg welding galvanized steel most of the day, I learned lots about HVAC equipment and the inside components of the units. Everyone I worked with had a good energy and if I got the call to go back and work for these guys I'd be there in a second

i enjoyed going to work every day that i worked there, i wish the auto industry didn't take a turn for i worst because i would have been stilled enployed there

Team driven buisiness oriented management still
Managed a great team of experienced people

Corporate office too involved with day to day branch operations and have a unreastic business plan in todays economy.
HR wags the dog! also unrealistic to the needs of the branches and very unprofessional starting at the top!
Branches have to bend over backwards to the HR Dept. for any assistance, if they ever do reply to emails because they never answer – more... their phones! – less

since working for the company in 2011 I have found management to be disrespectful and manipulative.

I fell ill while working at johnsons and needed to see my GP on a regular basis. I was shown no compassion and received surly attitude when requesting the time to see my GP. According to management I was not (and I quote) "on deaths door". but after – more... much reluctance I was finally granted the time to see my Doctor. I received this treatment for quite some time. The attitude seemed to be that they couldn't care less about employee well being, and that you would have to bee seen as "dying" to be able to get sick leave. THEY DONT CARE AS LONG AS THEY HAVE BUMS ON SEATS TO ANSWER THEIR CALLS!

Training is a complete joke! I suffer from a learning disability that means its takes me much longer than normal people to process information.(meaning I may have to ask the same questions more than once to be able to fully understand-for example)
Management were aware of my condition and sat me with other members of my team where I was made to feel uncomfortable, stupid and very small. My difficulties were not taken into consideration at all and received no other training from someone who knew how to teach someone with my kind of condition. I was just expected to get on with it!

And now to top it all off I very much felt that I was discriminated against for having sick leave because of my illness. I found that management where looking for any minor slip up in order to find any excuse to dismiss me from the company. kind of pathetic really!

The only thing that kept me sane was some of the employees there. and im sure they will agree with me that the only good thing about johnsons was pay day and home time!

I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone!!! – less

It has been a consistent learning experience at Johnson Controls, Inc.

Started in production, 3rd shift.
Worked my way up to material handler in 2 years.
Material Handlers were responsible for all shipping and receiving responsibilities. Material handlers also provide production line support. Material handlers were one step below team/ line leaders in pay. Johnson Controls employed over 5,000 people at the time of my employment – more... and the material handler position was one of the hardest positions to obtain. I took great pride in my role at Johnson Controls. Left JC to pursue higher education in Indiana. – less

worked on all equipment and learned new skill set on a daily basis

They'll fire you no matter what. They don't want to hire in temps. They fired me unfairly, my ride was leaving and I would have been stucka half hour away from home. They yell most of the time and those that were hired in treated temps horribly. But then I heard JC fired everyone. Very dirty and not a great work environment.
