Pros

Compensation and benefits are what's standard in the industry. National and Global presence, decent products.

Cons

Poor management at several levels, which explains the high turn over rate. Inexperience technicians and poorly trained testing and inspection technicians, none of the technicians in the branch I worked had the appropriate certification (NICET Certification). In the many years I've worked in this industry, with all due respect my experience with Johnson Controls was the worst. In regards to Diversity & Inclusion at the management level a lot of improvement is needed. From my experience non of the managers I encountered above field supervisors level were people of color.

Pros

Pay & Benefits & some of the employees.

Cons

Leadership not held accountable for making good things happen.Walk the talk. Annual surveys don't result in any real change. No chance for advancement unless someone in upper management is willing to mentor you.

What a long, strange trip it's been

Pros

The people are terrific - at least in the field business. Really the kind of people you want to get up and go to work with everyday. Integrity is valued. People work hard as individuals and in most cases as a team. We are generally paid fairly for the work we do.

Cons

Constant restructuring, which results in declining workforce morale and an on-going talent leak. We run too lean, and the good people who stay are overworked. When we don't have enough people to meet customer's expectations it just increases the pressure on the existing employees.
