Too many "chiefs"

Pros

Great benefits and company that has strong HR policies that ensures equality.

Cons

Management lacks direction. The only way to "perform" is if you have existing customers from previous employment that is wiling to transfer their revenue to you. Ironic though as this is touted as being against company policy but it is happening.

Pros

I would say some coworkers were great, but they all quit!

Cons

Work life balance is non existent, for example the expectation is that you work while on vacation (this was verbally stated to numerous employees). Expectations from Leadership are un-achievable and morale is negative, all while in a highly pressurized environment. Especially at a time like this, Racism should not be brushed over. There were documents circulated that a Director of CM had replaced an employees picture with Don Cheadle’s face— talk about cultural appropriation— all while HR did nothing to address the issue. The tearing down and bullying of employees is unacceptable and it exists daily at JCI. Just beware. Look at the turnover on the Milwaukee Procurement team. Before you sign, ask why the person you’re replacing left— and don’t accept “environment wasn’t for them” as an answer. People are leaving because they are expected to start at 6-7am, all while maintaining a work life balance.

Pros

Some lovely people on the ground. Some great managers, but very rare. Some great opportunities with the hiring freeze for up-skilling existing staff. Surviving the pandemic crisis well, despite being in the commercial buildings space. Senior leadership are trying to turn things round.

Cons

You know you're just a number. Senior management and execs do not care for staff at all. Travel ban, hiring freeze in place even pre-Covid to sweeten shareholders. Individuals would be let go at short notice with no warning. Different rules for execs of course.
