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.

Pros

Salary is initially good first year out after college.

Cons

They expect you to give all of your time to the work you do...no sense of work life balance. HR is terrible, only there to back management. Lack of leadership within the company. Going downhill, fast.

Pros

Very good health benefits. Economy of scale, can order supplies in bulk, more savings for our customers. A well recognized company in the industry.

Cons

Very large company. Extremely difficult to stand-out from such a large crowd. Managers are not personable and advancement is difficult. A conservative working environment, changes are difficult to come by and slow to react to the faster pace demand of the new economy. Definitely not suitable for well educated and out-of-the-box thinkers.
