Pros

There are good people and the benefits are comparable to other mid-large size companies. It is a good place to start. Everything after will feel like a breeze.

Cons

The structure is set up to compete with itself so there is a lot of infighting, mistrust, and little sharing of information. Raises over 10% must be approved by multiple levels of management. Some of which have no bearing on you or your work. Employee turnover is high since they are easily recruited or leave voluntarily due to low pay. Systems and processes are outdated.

Pros

My experience with Johnson Controls has been very positive. My coworkers are fantastic and my manager is a boss. I don't know if it is like this everywhere, but again, my experience has been positive. Able to work remotely whenever I want as long as I'm being productive.

Cons

Sometimes management can be restrictive with spending allowances in an effort to improve shareholder value.

Worst job I've ever had

Pros

Made a few good friends. For the most part, there were good people in the office.

Cons

Underpaid. Extremely overworked. You'd have to watch your back. People would be friendly to your face, but talk about you behind your back which created a hostile work environment. The Tulsa Fire Domain office was full of good ol' boys that barely knew how to turn on a computer, let alone actually get work done. The managers are incompetent and unprofessional. The company itself was also extremely unorganized. You couldn't pay me to come back to this company.
