Pros

I find that it is a good company for 'political' types who prefer to be seen talking rather than actually doing something. If you are one such person, JCI is a good place for you to be, and you will go a long way. If on the other hand you prefer to get down and be useful, I suggest not comming here.

Cons

- the management appears to be completely detached from real life - all jobs are now routinely moved to 'low-cost' countries or outsourced, with huge negative impact on performance and employee satisfaction - nearly all the people I know in this company are unhappy and would leave if they could. Doesn't say much about employee satisfaction. - when people meet or exceed the targets they have been given, they are kindly given a 2.5% pay rise when the cost of living has gone up even more than that over a year, and despite HUGE bebefits going to shareholders. - on a personal note, I have been lied to by my current boss for over 2 years now : only empty promises, and my job is not even what I signed up for.

Pros

Good local office environment and good benefits

Cons

JCI is retroactively changing the commission plan for all sales reps and is refusing to pay commissions that were earned under the 2023 plan. The pay plan specifically detailed how and when we were to be paid, but the company is now refusing to pay what is owed. JCI spends a lot of time talking about ethics and doing the right thing, but that obviously doesn't apply to CEO George Oliver or his executive staff. JCI sales reps are leaving the company in droves and going to work for companies that actually care about their employees and honor the commitments they make.

Pros

My local team. The corporate "Leadership" is disconnected.

Cons

They change everything every other day and it never benefits the employees. Especially the long-term employees.
