Trying to turn it around

Pros

I have been able to build a good career at JCI, but I want them to do better and live up to their values. New management seems to want to do things different than the past but for the most part it is all outside hires who have no experience in the company so they are taking it all in right now. They are saying the right things but that is yet to be seen

Cons

I have been in my position and with the organization long term. I have seen many changes and not all have been the best. Most recently in 2023 the company seized back end commissions and completely changed the compensation plan with no warning. The company is setting a lawsuit for about 25% of what was owed. We are almost 2 months into this fiscal year with no quotas and no commission plan. It is tough to stay focused on sales not knowing what you will make on a job. 401k match is paid as a lump sum in Feb/March, which means you do not get to grow your nest egg as it is earned. In 2020 when covid hit they suspended the match in April even though it would not be due to till the following year in March. The company had fully recovered from the covid drop during the year.
