Pros

The large company gives you a chance to move across multiple departments and divisions to get a variety of experiences.

Cons

It does not offer a standardized career path and advancement opportunities. You need to map your own career path.

JCI is a good place to work.

Pros

Johnson Controls, Inc. offers generous salary for the position. They are very competitive in that regard. It is typical for managers to permit as much time off for illness as necessary. They tend not to count every day you are out, as long as the work gets done.

Cons

The biggest downside of working at Johnson Controls is the two weeks' vacation given. Coming in at a professional level, the firm rule is "two weeks". Period.

Pros

I began working at the York International Large Tonnage Packaged Chiller Plant in November 2005. Johnson Controls acquired York in December and it was about a year before any culture change occurred. Since this plant was an outstanding profit center, many changes were slow as to not disrupt the daily operations from inappropriate policies. The JCI policy changes and documentation are getting accomplished but it has been 4 years.

Cons

There are employees in positions that do not meet their job descriptions at this plant. This was due to the culture that ignored the job requirements that could jepardize product quality and quality ratings (ISO9000) to promote internally from the shop to the office in order to reduce costs.
