You don't need any qualifications or work experience to get promoted or even be good at your job. Cronism Rules!!

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Team support from colleagues

Cons

High degree of cronism. Amercians only promote Americains, British only promote English, and so on for Germans and French. The rest are considered not to be important enough! You are NOT promoted for your good work and efforts or for your qualifications and the ability to do the job.

Deeply ingrained sexism in leadership

Regional manager talent, learning & inclusion

Business Outlook

Pros

Some lovely, warm, friendly people. People on other teams will help you, not too many silos.

Cons

Claims to be inclusive but that does not show up in daily life. Quite the opposite. There is limited training around what inclusion really means. You will only move up if you are a sycophant

Business Outlook

Pros

Innovative international company with lots of growth potential, sometimes a bit underestimated across Europe, lots of smart, highly engaged and motivated employees and colleagues who go the extra mile to make the company successful.

Cons

One has to love change to feel comfortable in JCI, but if you do, there are lots of great opportunities to contribute, learn & grow within JCI.
