Pros

Green company! brilliant people, good for growth and development - but you need to let management know that you want to grow and develop and what you are interested in. If you are open with them, most managers will help good employees stay motivated and happy.

Cons

Large company, can be difficult to navigate. Headquarters is in MKE where it is COLD! Can be long hours if working on important projects.

Three days for an answer turns into three weeks for a conversation

Pros

Well respected company in the right industry (energy efficiency) at the right time, with some excellent product and service capabilities, and some great people in the field.

Cons

I was working for York International when Johnson Controls purchased the company. York was a flat organization which enabled it to make decisions or provide answers quickly. JCI has so many layers of management that it once took three weeks to get a conference call scheduled with three levels of management to discuss an issue, and another week for a decision. At York, I was able to get an answer for a more complex issue in three days. When you are dealing with major customers that are used to getting a quick response, 3-4 weeks doesn't cut it.

Pros

JCI has excellent benefits and is a player in thier market. Local branch had very talented people in many key roles.

Cons

Direct management in many cases was from another part of the country all together. Very little contct and many of the middle managers were very unprofessional and had little to no experience in the arena they were managing.
