Great company to learn troubleshooting skills.
Technical Support Coordinator (Former Employee) - Montréal, QC - 23 January 2023
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedIn 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

Just a Job

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.

Good experience
Order (Former Employee) - Canada - 25 November 2022
It’s good for experience but there is no opportunities for growth. Team morale is low and most positions are being outsourced to other countries. Upper Management does not care

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.

Jobs at Johnson Controls
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
Pros
Can’t think of any
Cons
Too many to list. Not 1932 any longer.
