      Knew they didn't care about people but this surprised even me

      Pros

      Company with a long-standing presence and good products

      Cons

      People are just a number, not a name; they don't care about employees and the HR teams are the worst of them. Recently, they send out a letter to many employees offering them "voluntary separation" in order to downsize/cut costs in their offices-with the threat that if enough didn't volunteer, involuntary separations might occur

      Pros

      Opportunities frequently present themselves in this multinational at the local level. The businesses are straight forward enough that one quickly gains insight to the industry that JCI division is in. Stretigic leadership from Milwaukee is good. Training is available for a number of job specific and leadership roles Compensation and benefits are mid-range competitive.

      Cons

      The core business the company is in car seats, building HVAC equipment, and batteries are aggressively competitive and drive constant change management at JCI leading to long working hours, poor to no work life balance, clustered of overworked employees at all levels next to clusters of poorly performing employees. The company has an unhealthy turnover rate amoung it's high talent members. Training as been shrinking over the years, and waves of layoffs mean no one can plan anymore to stay at this company for more than 4 to 6 years.

      Great company, but very silo'd

      Pros

      Huge company with great benefits and very friendly and personable coworkers. Company consistently grew year over year and it was exciting to be a part of it.

      Cons

      For how big a company it is, JCI operates in silos - that is to say that the different divisions don't talk to one another and it is very hard to transfer into another group. Stress can be high at times during the year, especially around Aug/Sept right before the close of the fiscal year. Variable pay (bonuses) don't start until you are at Sr Manager level, which is a very small % of the employee population...and even then the bonus % aren't very high and seldom get paid out at 100%
