It's a job.

Pros

There are definitely opportunities for overtime, and I have a good working relationship with my co-workers. The CEO seems like a stand up guy.

Cons

The driving force seems to be cut costs, cut costs, cut costs, and sell more, sell more, sell more. Granted, that's what any business does, but it just seems to be at a much more breakneck pace here. At the end of every quarter I'm almost always told without fail that it's the most important quarter in the history of the company. It's kind of hard to get excited about work when you're just chasing a number. And it seems like someone from Johnson Controls is getting hired for a middle management position every other week. The corporate edicts with little to no knowledge of what happens on the shop floor is kind of a bummer.
