Pros

"The employees on the production floor are a REALLY GOOD group of people. I would put them up against any JCI plant out there. I have never been in another facility where team mates pool together like they do here ,to take care of another member in crisis."

Cons

"Management is running our facility into the ground. They blame 99% of our down time on the employee when in all reallity its poor incoming product, faulty equipment and poor management. Were just a stepping stone for plant managers. We have been in Sycamore IL . since 1987 and have changed plant managers and HR managers damn near every 2 years which causes so much inconsistency that you never know whats going to happen tomorrow. Now ,we just got another new plant manager who comes in and wants everything done his way just like the rest of our past plant managers. Which once again means change. ."

Pros

Decent pay, good PTO and benefits

Cons

Everything else. ZERO training. They hand you a laptop (which is garbage) and say good luck. There is no "team." Everyone is on their own. The senior techs all reached their peak 20 years ago and don't even know what BACnet is. The bureaucracy is unbearable. Ordering a simple part is nearly impossible. There are so many apps you have to check in on everyday and they care more about those metrics than they care about the service their customers are receiving. If you want to get your butt kicked everyday with zero support at a company that specializes in taking advantage of their customers, this is the job for you.
