Not a good place to work-the only thing JCI management cares about is the bottom line.

Pros

Pay is commensurate with industry standards. Benefits are fairly good. Ongoing training is available.

Cons

Way too many conference calls that waste everyone's time. No work/life balance. Management expects employees to work 24 hours a day, if necessary, to meet their unreasonable expectations.

Business Outlook

Pros

Fantastic campus and great co-workers. Get to work with people from all over the globe. Great work / life balance.

Cons

Zero challenges. Continual reorganization plans. Constantly spinning your tires as management changes their mind on a month to month basis on what they think is important and what they want to see. Feel like you're consistently doing busy work.
