Material Handler/Forklift Operator (Former Employee) – Ajax, ON – 22 November 2018
Even before I stared I was weary about reporting there for my first day. I got a bad vibe but I ignored it and showed up anyway. Seems that my bad vibe was correct. The training was non existent. I had to learn most things myself. Stumbled through my time there never knowing wht they want but hearing complaints when they did not get what they want. I became discouraged and disgruntled real quick. The atmosphere was very negative and the staff were unhappy. They force everyone to work 48 hours a week so there was a lot of burn out. I guess the way the staff there kept themselves happy was by petty back stabbing and throwing people under the bus. It did not win them any favours but I guess that it kept them amused. Glad to be gone from there. I should have listened to my instinct and not accepted a job there.
Pros
Has benefits and good vacation time
Cons
Long hours negative atmosphere unprofessional conduct
On the Road Job
Resource Coordinator (Current Employee) – Montréal, QC – 21 November 2018
Time management is a definite need.
I have learnt many topics regarding fire alarm security and building requirements.
Management had a high turn over rate, therefore the leadership goals changed a lot.

Suppression Coordinator / Renewal Specialist (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 9 November 2018
Typical office setting, great people to work with but the management and environment can get a little toxic at times. Overall great company though! I would recommend this company to others.
the hardest part of the job
Inside Sales & Service Administration (Former Employee) – Annacis Insland, Delta BC – 1 November 2018
Customer complaints that were not followed up at for a long time. There was never a sense of urgency. the PO's had to be approved and confirmed in Mexico and the Invoices from Milwaukee.
Pros
close to home
Cons
not enough of Technicians
Good entry experience
Senior Level 2 Support Specialist (Current Employee) – Montréal, QC – 28 September 2018
The company is a good place to start your career and develop your skills. Immediate manager/supervisors are very friendly and easy to approach.
Overall, the employees at JCI/Tyco are very professional.
That being said, the salaries and vacation policies (Canadian) might not be what you would expect from an international and reputable company of this scale. JCI does not seem to offer competitive salaries to their employees (at least from my experience), so negotiate salaries since the beginning, because it will be very difficult to fight for adjustment of it after you start.
Also, you may find new employees having a higher entry salary than people who've worked for 3 to 5 years (due to labor shortage), but the company has no plan (even when asked for) to review and readjust existing salaries.
