Pros

Good base pay for the industry, but the commissions are hard to track and are often clawed back.

Cons

Beware of claw backs. Management is more concerned with DEI and environmental sustainability than running a fire and life safety service company. For example, management prioritized completing a survey about how each person identifies over actually servicing customers that have contracted JCI to service their building.
