In my honest opinion speaking as an It technician and access control technician , I would say that working at Johnson Controls was a troubleshooting school for me . The different scenarios from where you needed to find a solution in order to help the field technicians were challenging every day. That pushed me to give the best of me to find the solution to make the things work well.

Pros

free lunches

The job security is good at Silent aire . But the Work Culture is very toxic . The office staff treats the floor employees very poorly. The raise that happens every year is a joke on the face . This place is a tree of Nepotism

Pros

Bi weekly pizza and donut for the office staff

Cons

Very stressful work and almost impossible deadlines

Great coworkers , poor management

Fire Alarm Technician (Former Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 5 December 2022

Majority of time no stress. Great people to work with however loss good employees due to examples being set by new management. Rotating management on a monthly to quarterly basis. Slow on training employees for safety such as working at heights (would be given the harness and lanyard without the training).

Good

Ramp Agent (Former Employee) - Langley, BC - 3 December 2022

Good but given too many ramps than needed. Sometimes you come for your shift and the manager asks why you don’t have enough ramps ready to go. To me this isn’t good..

Revolving door of employees

Communications Coordinator (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 1 December 2022

No room for growth in the company. Will need to switch departments if you want growth, workers are overworked and underpaid. Management will mess up time sheets.

No clue what they’re doing

HVAC Technician (Current Employee) - Delta, BC - 19 November 2022

Very toxic, very unorganized. Managers are a revolving door of replacements with “new ideas” that never pan out leaving the technicians vulnerable to unwarranted scrutiny. They don’t understand how the real HVAC world works because the company is led by unqualified people at the top steering the ship. Too many meetings, to many opportunities wasted by really poor decisions.

Big Enough To Afford Training

Security Systems Technician (Current Employee) - Brampton, ON - 12 November 2022

Although many branches have the Johnson Controls brand, each does not necessarily operate the same.So it differs from branch to branch. Good place to learn (security division)

Was excellent until they hired a different manager

Senior Sales Representative (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 9 October 2022

At work every day I had a agenda to try and see some of my contacts, Engineers or contractors to see what was available for job opportunities in sales.. I learned allot about different types of Chillers. The Manager was good at the office but when they replaced my manager out of the main office in Toronto I felt distance from someone I could trust. The individuals at the office where great until they haired this Engineer who used my name to get the job. He was useless. I loved the challenge when sitting with Engineers and talking about systems, budgeting and design on major projects and specifying Johnson Controls equipment

Decent place to work, except for management

Junior Operator (Former Employee) - 40 Sheppard Ave W - 28 May 2022

I worked at Johnson Controls for 6 months. The training was 4 weeks long and very thorough. However, I will say the training is harder than the actual job. This was one of the easiest jobs I've had and a decent enough place to work. As long as you're doing your work and following procedures no ones says anything to you. The problem is with management. An extremely disorganized bunch of people in roles they shouldn't be in. They ignore emails and phone calls regarding discrepancies in pay, issues regarding hours and scheduling. You're better off just reporting them to the ministry to get things done. I had to do that in order to get my final paycheck from them. If you decide to work here, just make sure you keep a record of your hours, because they will mess up on your pay multiple times.

Pros

Automatic benefits, easy

Cons

Management, pay, mandatory night shift

Good local teams ruined by corporate

Operations Manager (Former Employee) - Ontario - 5 May 2022

The company has good teams and work environment at the local level but any positives are overwhelmed by stereotypical disconnected corporate 'leadership' that are only interested in advancing whatever short term personal objectives they have without regard to local sites, employees, customers, etc.

Toxic

Sales (Former Employee) - Anywhere - 14 January 2022

Toxic environment, coupled with individuals whom spend their entire day looking to find information to get co-workers fired and to compensate for their own incompetence. Very counter productive and unprofessional. They want you to work 7 days a week, will even give you non related projects on the weekend and then never use the work you performed for anything. They will chew you up and spit you out when they fell like it. No loyalty, no appreciation and no tolerance towards anyone with any differences (unofficially behind closed doors). Worst job ever
