Pros

There is brand recognition but that is diminishing as we shift focus away from customers and employees to shareholders and margins.

Cons

George Oliver will cost this company to death just like he did to legacy Tyco. Merger is a disaster. IT cannot figure out how to make the already antiquated Tyco systems integrate. People spend entire days just trying to get systems to work instead of being in front of customers. Benefits have decreased. Cost of them increased. Senior “leadership”is more than willing to cause serious financial damage to employees to show false growth through unsustainable cost cuts. No support or communication from above, just “give us more”. They are so far disconnected from what goes on at the district level it is laughable.

Pros

I very much enjoyed my many years at JCI until Alex Molinaroli took over as CEO. The company was growing, the work was interesting and rewarding and there was a real sense of team and sometimes even family and then it changed - dramatically.

Cons

When Alex took over the whole tone changed to an adversarial management style where mistakes were not an option and people were fired to "fix thing". The negative management style changes were compounded by leadership trust issues given the very poor ethical decision making by Alex in his personal life and the lack of any action by the board.
