Great Company that makes the job harder than needed

Account representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great company with unbelievable amount of resources throughout. If you dream it in a building chances are JCI has done it, can do it, will find the people to do it. Customer Satisfaction is JCI's highest priority which is most important.

Cons

Very hard internally to make any sudden move or changes that are outside normal day to day tasks. Want to make customers happy but sometimes getting our accounting or internals to make those things happen for a customer turn out to be very frustrating and time consuming. Regional management pushes local branches but puts on the breaks for needed resources even if justified.

Great opportunity, poor work life balance

Program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Because of the size of JCI, there are a lot of opportunities to develop yourself and your career in a lot of different directions. They are a large company that is on the forefront of creating sustainable environments and products & that is an exciting thing to be a part of. There is access to a lot of technology to get your job done effectively.

Cons

Once you're salaried, the expectation is that you work a good bit of OT and are available evenings & weekends frequently. They pay is lower than what you can get for the same work at other organizations and pay raises are minimal. While the company supports personal development & most managers do as well, each manager determines if they are going to spend time or money on development.
