Pros

Nice work and life balance. Excellent benefits with average compensation. Company is rapidly expanding to attempt to capture growth opportunities in foreign markets.

Cons

Middle management has a narrow focus and cannot think outside of their domain. Company seems to want to be a diversification play but may not have the resources necessary to successfully run three individual businesses.

Pros

JCI is a very-well known and respected brand in different industries such as HVAC, Controls, Battery and working for this big multinational company can provide you great opportunities in your career.

Cons

Salaries are much less than expected and sometimes performance evaluations can be not fair. This is a sales-driven company and individual development is not very much supported by the company.
