Pros

Robust customer / partner ecosystem from years of success

Cons

Unclear Sales and GTM strategy due to historical M&A and ingestion of people. As a result, it has created a lot of over lapping sales teams with unclear boundaries, unnecessary competitive strife, and poor employee morale. The existing system may work well for long-time and well-established employees, but for new employees it's a tough.

Johnson Controls is improving

Pros

We have a footprint in every State and most countries, Our products are high quality and tend to outlast many brands. Johnson Controls using Simplex Fire Alarm products can integrate with building systems and can network and accomplish very complex operations when most fire alarm brands cannot. Our design and CAD end results are very professional. JCFP has a team of highly qualified NICET techs.

Cons

Not everyone can afford Simplex by Johnson Controls so it is difficult for sales people because we are not marketing to all markets. It is quite a complex process to deal with JCFP as a subcontractor and sometimes there are internal challenges because of how large of a company JCI is.
