Pros

Compensation good, some positive people, increase number of new JCI employees which bring new positive ideas and solutions to the organisation and good company benifits.

Cons

-Core structure of company leadership is the key issue toward it's present and future performance -Intergration of York into the JCI organization a few years ago was not planed properly and has caused some major issue and concerns with JCI long term global customers. -Preperation of local branch management to succefully drive the company forward and show customers that JCI are the leading organization has not been the focus of the corporate leaders -No uniformaty of processes or procedure in the organization -Extreamly poor communication of leadership within JCI which has been a major issue in the branch leavel. -For such a large company there no real measurement of anything towards continues improvement process other then profit -Milwalkee Management are not open to new approches from employees who have had experiance and opportunities from other large succesful companies. -Corporate leadership has a large number of employees that have only been with one company (JCI) for their careers and do not want to rock the boat to improve the culture. -Local branch cultures towards corporate JCI are very poor and branch managers are being used by the local unions which inturn efficting customer service with are long term global customers. Conculding that JCI is a company that it's leadership need to getout and communicate to their customers and seek the truth about themselfs.This is a first step to success is to truly know what your falts are...... but as Jack Nichelson said in one of his role " You can't handle the TRUTH!!!!!!!"

Stress, Pressure, Unattainable Expectations

Pros

Job started out to be a great job, they even paid for relocation. Salary was very nice, most made in this career. Offered year-end bonuses. Benefits package was great, vacation days, etc.

Cons

Worked 10-12 hour days, evenings, and on-call for weekends which meant little time with family. Management had expectations for unattainable results. Like my job performance reviews were evaluated on tasks I had no control over, employees doing their jobs but those employees didn't report to me and I wasn't their boss. Also, sales or contracts meeting expectations, but I had nothing to do with sales/contracts.
