Pros

you have freedom to roam about and make decisions and problem solve on your own.

Cons

constantly going and rarely have time to completely finish one task without having to move to another. somethings always wrong and sometimes it would be nice to see things working how they are suppose to be!

Pros

Green company! brilliant people, good for growth and development - but you need to let management know that you want to grow and develop and what you are interested in. If you are open with them, most managers will help good employees stay motivated and happy.

Cons

Large company, can be difficult to navigate. Headquarters is in MKE where it is COLD! Can be long hours if working on important projects.

Pros

Well respected company in the right industry (energy efficiency) at the right time, with some excellent product and service capabilities, and some great people in the field.

Cons

I was working for York International when Johnson Controls purchased the company. York was a flat organization which enabled it to make decisions or provide answers quickly. JCI has so many layers of management that it once took three weeks to get a conference call scheduled with three levels of management to discuss an issue, and another week for a decision. At York, I was able to get an answer for a more complex issue in three days. When you are dealing with major customers that are used to getting a quick response, 3-4 weeks doesn't cut it.
