Pros

You will learn alot...Most of it will be self taught....Its interesting work....If you can make it here you can make it ANYWHERE,,,,People start there careers at JCI and become extremely successful...if you are smart enough to leave....

Cons

ITS A CORPORATE MONSTER!!! Your branch has no power over corporate decisions...Horrible..Horrible benefits...There bonuses are so 1 sided,,They create bonus structures that involve other areas of there business that you have no control over...Whoever creates jobs at Johnson controls knows how to create the most F@#t up positions..The average employee works 55 to 75 hrs a week and you cannot compare the job positions with any other in the industry because they simply do not exist...especially the LSS..LEAD SYSTEM SPECIALIST POSITION...Stay very clear of this one...Unless you don't like having a life and have no intentions of starting a family...Johnson's only concern is to the SHARE HOLDER...The employee is the farthest thing from there minds!!

Pros

johnson controls was once a wonderful place to work. They expect a lot out of their employees, but it was once a take and give situation. It has now become a take and take situation.

Cons

It is very scary to watch a very large corporation cut corners and pinch pennies in the places they have.

Pros

If you relish very large global company environments then Johnson Controls is for you. The higher up the Management chain you are then the more rewarded you are. The treatment of women however is far from ideal and women in Europe hit a ceiling at mid executive level.

Cons

The lack of communications and lack of ability and capability of European HR departments is appalling. Employees at bottom end of scale tend to be overworked and underpaid but remain intensely loyal.
