Caution - Chaos Ensues

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people on your own team are some of the best. There's a lot of collaboration and sincere teamwork.

Cons

There has been drastic change among senior leadership and re-orgs that have left teams not understanding their remit. Some leaders were forced out but many really good ones leaving because of the chaos. Also, major cuts among some very experienced talent. Seems to be disproportionately older workers. Lack of confidence in current leadership. Proceed with caution.

Poor treatment

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Most co-workers were helpful and friendly.

Cons

Compensation is low compared to other companies. Unrealistic profit goals based on the part of the building industry I served. No trust from management to allow making sales related decisions. They claim to be strong on ethics but they will only look out for upper management.

Unfulfilling work in a stagnant industry

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Being paid a salary was nice.

Cons

Profits are seen only by upper senior leadership. None of it trickles down to the majority of the workers. The work you perform will not matter. You can (and will) be let go at any time, for any reason, at JCI’s whim. Company is very political and there is an unbelievable amount of time and resources wasted on corporate nonsense. The people seem friendly on a surface level but are the Skilled Politician type once you get to know them. The company prioritizes cost cutting over prioritizing their technology. The atmosphere/work environment is very poor. 3+ years needed for promotions. No career growth. Subpar benefits. You will not be happy working here.
