Pros

Johnson Controls is made for two types of people: 1. People who are from the Midwest or specifically Milwaukee and want to stay there. The company has the same benefits most large companies in the area have and the pay is decent. You can join and just coast for as long as you want. 2. People who play the conservative political game hard. Want to climb the corporate ladder? Don't care what you have to do to get there? JCI is the place for you. It's conservative, it's incredibly political so come play the game.

Cons

JCI is not looking to be competitive with benefits cause they really don't have to. Consider 10 days of vacation generous. The bad to good people ratio is way off for a company this size. There are good people, but you gotta work to find them. It's a huge company, that is rather volatile, incredibly conservative, especially for millennials, and really they're just cost cutting to make money at this point.
