Not the best place to be

Pros

Pay was better than average. PTO is good. Will actually train you.

Cons

Director and above in IT are terrible. If you are not part of the "in" crowd your opinion is worthless. Many people in positions they are not qualified for and only get there by default over time. Everyone protects their territory like it is life and death. Lots of talk about innovation and collaboration but they don't walk - the - walk. Always looking for a tool to replace common sense and good work habits.

Pros

It's good work environment with lots opportunities for growth and decent training programs. There is a very hardcore safety culture at JCI and they take safety VERY seriously so they really do put the employees health and safety 1st .

Cons

JCI is a publicly owned company and thus falls victum to it's own bean counting. This is good for employees since it makes JCI reliant on it's own workers. It's business practices make working within the company convoluted and full of silo walls. All the bean counting and mimizing of sub-department budgets leads to bare minimum budgets which complicates the daily routine with minimul support and substantial over-head. All of this creates real job security for employees who have worked there a while and learn all the hoops to jump through. Anyone making a valid effort to do their job and do it well is appreciated and given their regular 3% raise per year. So even the cons can be pros, although there are a lot of head-shaking moments of disbelief.
