Outside Sales, Former Tyco Employee

Pros

I love the work I do. My job is always interesting and I like the people I work with.

Cons

Johnson Controls has made many changes as the merger has moved forward. The high-deductible (HD) health insurance is simply the worst plan I've ever had since I've had any kind of job. Holding back the 401k company match until the end of the year prevents employees from earning additional interest on money that we're entitled to and should be criminal. Most recent change is paying commissions monthly. It seems they want to hold your money as long as possible preventing your money to work for you.

Boys Club, Not Competitive Enough to Attract Top Talent

Pros

Learning a new industry (HVAC)

Cons

Little to no room for advancement, salaries are low, and vacation time is limited compared to other companies today. Need to improve their overall benefits package if they want to attract top talent. NO Work/Life Balance. I watched them tell a colleague that she could not attend her daughter's HS award ceremony because if they allowed her to leave 2 hours early, everyone else would want to leave early too.
