Good pay but you're just a number
Customer Service Representative (Current Employee) - Montréal, QC - 27 November 2023
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedCompany does not really care about employees well being. People with problems or issues get zero sympathy from management or human resources. Good pay and benefits however.

Really safe workplace
Good place to work and grow as an employee. Management changes a lot but the vibe is kept constant and thanks to the CEO’s guidance the employees are cared for

Jobs at Johnson Controls
Poor Management
Customer Service Representative (Current Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 13 November 2023
The company itself is your typical big corporation. Management at the Vancouver branch has a high turn over rate and lacks consistency. The company doesn’t do any initiative for its employees

Ok place to work if you have good management
Building operator (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 20 October 2023
What is the best part of working at the company? Benefits were pretty good, uniform/ boots supplied What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Manager has no idea of what work you are doing! & no interest, just push push! & work was not evenly distributed between coworkers What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Not a good work /life balance, What is a typical day like for you at the company? Hectic most days awkward shifts!

Corporate nightmare
HVAC Technician (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 5 October 2023
Great staff at Edmonton undermined by higher ups that do not understand the industry. Little to no work for techs in the city. Regularly not paid on time despite being a union company.

Needs re-vamping
Office (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 20 September 2023
This company gives no loyalty. You are a number and once you reach the peak number, out with the old, in with the new. Old managers either ignore you or blame you for not fixing their mistakes quick enough. There are favourites, boy are there favorites. If you do not establish yourself as one of them, expect to find another job soon. Oh and the faves - they will stab you in the back just as soon as look at you. It wasn't always like this. At one point it was a great place to work and most people were treated as equals and shared the work. Once the new, younger managers came in, everything changed. So glad I got out

Love
Health Care Aide (Current Employee) - Ajax, ON - 4 September 2023
This is the best job I have ever had I can't believe this is my life now. It never feels like I am ever truly clocked in when I am here. When you're here you're treated like family

Good training courses.
Fire Suppression Technician (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 12 August 2023
During my 5 years of working this company is enjoyable even though it’s stressful job specifically with on call. What I don’t like was a political ambition of some co- workers and leaders. Management bought me out with unfair judgment.
Pros
Fair salary
Cons
Unfair management

Worst company ever
Fire Alarm Technician (Former Employee) - Ottawa, ON - 29 July 2023
Typical American corporation. Your below a number. All managers are so focused on making the numbers they literally have no idea what's happening in field. You have supervisors that don't even know what your job is out in field, do not work there.

Great Company that takes care of their employees
Installation Technician (Current Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 22 June 2023
I currently work as a technician at Johnson Controls and I feel like they do their best to invest in their staff. I feel like I'm paid fairly and they have spent a lot of money sending me to all kinds of trainings to build me up as an employee. There is a very strong focus on safety here so they have a lot of safety rules to be aware of. Breaking the rules can cost you your job. If you can demonstrate a good work ethic and commitment to the company there is room for advancement.
Pros
Great benefits, matching pension, great work/life balance, friendly co-workers
Cons
Almost no overtime, very tight regulations that require to strictly adhere to company policy.

Good opportunity to learn but low pay rate
Control Technician (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 20 June 2023
JCI is a good company to start with since they provide you many resources to learn and grow. Most people stay for their career with company because there are lot of advancements One problem is that pay is really low and you do not earn based on what you do

Run Far Away
Sales Representative (Former Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 5 June 2023
The job itself is okay but my co workers were constantly having breakdowns and I would have to witness it which was a miserable working environment. JCI are all about numbers if sales aren't up your out the door. I got low balled with my salary and the other managers are never ever there. It takes a manager a week to return an email or phone call. The customers don't even like dealing with them because it takes so long for a response. Don't know how JCI stays in business.
Pros
Free uniforms
Cons
Miserable working environment

Great career opportunities!
Fire alarm technician (Current Employee) - British Columbia - 1 June 2023
For those complaining about low pay increases year to year, you are doing it wrong. If you want a good increase you need to make yourself hard to replace and if you want an even better raise then you need to be willing to move up the ladder, this might require relocating to another district that is in a greater need of your abilities. This is how it works in most giant companies, for myself i am satisfied with the opportunities that i had over time and recommend this company.
Pros
Safety culture, pay and advancement opportunities are pretty good.
Cons
Task management phone application doesn't work well, many issues.
