Get ready to throw away your personal life
employee (Former Employee), Holland, MI – March 12, 2013
JCI expects salaried employees to work a minimum of 50hrs and MORE when there is a deadline with no additional recognition or pay.

Old fashioned top-down management style. They have not kept up with the times. No work life balance, still require business dress, leaders hide in their ivory towers, employees are just tools.

Pros: great opportunity for growth
Cons: hard to move around from department to department
Great company to work for. Would have loved to retire from the company. This company taught me alot about the HVAC systems. When I first started the company all I knew about HVAC is that we provided service to different companies. Now I can tell you the different type of units examples AHU, RTU, Chillers and also the functions of the units.

Great community outreach programs
National Customer Service Specialist II (Current Employee), Milwaukee, WI – March 10, 2013
Pros: push for community involvement
Cons: not a lot of opportunity to advance
Johnson Controls does a lot for the communities their offices are in. They encourage volunteering and are always looking for ways to give back. Sometimes though, it would seem like the company is working a little too hard at making a name for themselves rather than focusing on their employees overall happiness and well-being. With this being such a – more... large company, advancement can be rather difficult as you are competing with hundreds of internal applicants as well as hundreds of external. The management style in the department I work for varies greatly. We have 2 vertical market managers who differ in their management styles and that trickles down to the staff they manage. There is also a problem with treating everyone equally. What is good for one, is not always good for all. That being said, I have learned a great deal about company financials, contract management, billing and other skills by working for Johnson Controls. They have allowed me to push myself and learn different aspects of the buisness, and for that I am greatful. Right now, however, I am a square peg being forced into a round hole. My branch office reorganized and all of the positions that used to exist, were consolidated into 2 positions, which are both customer service. It is difficult to grow or learn when you are pigeon holed into a job that was not of your choosing. – less

Watch your back
Security Team Operations Manager II (Former Employee), New Orleans, LA – March 7, 2013
A lot of good people there but upper management will layoff as many as takes to to meet year end share holders expectations and maximize their own bonuses. Twice in ten years over 10-15,000 at a time.
