Johnson Controls reviews

As many have pointed out, layoffs are cyclical here. The most disheartening thing about how JCI handles layoffs is very “top down.” As in the executives and upper managers call the shots on what Human Resources will be effected. Additionally, the company has very dated and disjointed project management software applications that really need an integrated system to replace the relics they’ve been nursing along. Finally, sales individuals driving accounts are not familiar with project management processes and JCI needs to establish better project management SOPs; especially in project planning, change management and basic work breakdown structure. So many little projects (less than 40 hours) that prove to be an administrative nightmare for all stakeholders involved.

They will abuse you, lie to you. If you are exceptionally good at your job, your boss will be threatened, and will move mountains to find a way to get rid of you. This is particularly true in the Philadelphia and Delaware markets, but is commonly known throughout the entire organization. ***JCI will violate multiple federal and state employment laws in how they handle holding commission from 1 year to the next, and your commission is 100% ensured to be wrong - every month. If you take a vacation, expect your boss to send a colleague behind you to take over your accounts permanently while you are out of town. The same applies if they send you for training somewhere else in the country. You will be expected to violate both company policy and federal law by taking government employees on "wine and dine" excursions, then coached on how to expense them so that they look to be compliant.
