Pros

Great team and coworkers. Mostly reachable goals

Cons

Low pay. No market adjustments for current employees. I just completed hiring for my team. 50% of my direct reports now make more than I do... The other 50% are just below. Leadership doesn't seem interested in adjusting my comp any time soon. just delaying . "Wait until after January and we will see what we can do". Recently got a promotion and Received a very small increase... This would have been a perfect opportunity for JCI to bring my compensation to a competitive rate but they stated "guidelines" only allow a small raise. I get great annual reviews. I have tried everything. Time to look for other opportunities outside JCI...most likely with a competitor.
