Pros

Not many these days. Some great, dedicated, smart and innovative people (which they are losing at an alarming rate). Pay is just ok for what you do. Benefits average.

Cons

Shareholders are number one priority. You are part of a headcount and nothing more. Regardless of your ability, talent, dedication and loyalty, you will be terminated if you don't fit in to the latest hare-brained reorganization or if the numbers don't look that good for the quarter. JCI used to be a forward thinking company and invest in its people. Not anymore.

Pros

the pay is o.k. for the area.

Cons

They do not care about their employees at all. Their only concern is how much money they make. If they have to injure you to make money that is what they will do. As an employee you are required to work as long and as hard as they say. You are the last thing they care about. I still work at JCI but I would not recomed it to anyone. They are trying to import one more thing from China, SWEAT SHOPS!!!

Pros

Good work / life balance Able to work from home as needed

Cons

Managers only able to give a promotion to 1 employee per year, even with large departments. Seems favorites only get selected, not the ones who deserve it. Politics can hurt you, not government politics, but the in house politics. You rub the wrong person outside your department the wrong way, and your going to go downhill in your position. Need bigger raises. Constant layoffs each year just to please the shareholders, then rehire for the positions they just laid off. Person who gets laid off could be at the company for a year or 30 years.
