Pros

Some managers are great to work for

Cons

Pay increases are inadequate, and there is micromanagement. Some employees work remotely in a district, but others in the same position are required to be present in the office. PTO is horrible, and you need to keep track of your own time used, which I've never seen at any jobs I've worked at. Good luck trying to move up in the company, because the boss often favors their children or relatives working at JCI, and they tend to receive promotions more frequently. Alternatively, employees in these positions usually stay in them until retirement. Also you have to turn in monthly safety concerns you see in your office or at home.

Pros

The people are generally nice and the work is interesting.

Cons

The pay is less than desirable and the training hours changed every 6 weeks. Some weeks I worked 8-5, others I worked 4 PM to 12 AM.

Pros

Good benefits and PTO, Work life balance is mediocre at best

Cons

They are a slave to Wall Street. Finance submits aggressive targets to Wall Street and the second half of every fiscal year are hiring and travel freezes. They have frequent layoffs.
