      Double Standards Abound at JCI - You're Not Valued if You're Not Located in Milwaukee

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      How field staff rise above negativity and bureaucracy from Milwaukee. People form close relationships and do care about customers despite a corporate culture that exemplifies analysis paralysis and cumbersome processes. If you can carve out a niche for yourself and thrive on minimal to no recognition, you may be happy at JCI.

      Cons

      Overly Conservative Culture, Poor Leadership at Executive Level and Mid-Mgmt. Level, Constant Staff Reductions, Mediocre Benefits, Poor HR, downright awful office working environment accommodations, arrogance from Milwaukee leadership, lack of authentic customer focus.

      a job is a job

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      professional environment that lacks the disparaging remarks, finger pointing and backstabbing that I've seen other places. The company makes a strong effort to keep employees informed. Salary and benefits are about average for a large company. Provides a lot of opportunity for non-degreed people.

      Cons

      Bureaucratic. Layoffs. I can't say that the company really values its people. Raises are disappointing and benefits are under assault. In the last 10 years, my salary rose about 5% above inflation despite having "excellent" reviews. They seem to think that the employees are fungible - they will always opt for the cheaper employee - that is offshore - rather than investing in their staff. Getting external training can be a challenge. A lot of off hours work.

      Was highly ethical

      Pros

      Over my 10 years with JCI, the company was highly supportive and fair to me. I had multiple opportunities for growth and development. I was always struck by the high degree of ethical standards that we lived by, led by the examples set by senior leadership. I was very proud to say that I worked for JCI.

      Cons

      I was very happy during my time at JCI. However, the events of the recent past have soured my view. The CEO should have been fired for his inappropriate relationship with an external executive coach. I was afforded the opportunity to be coached by her firm, and it now appears that such interactions were not kept confidential. This violates my trust. I am mystified why the BOD did not view this as gross misconduct.
