Don't climb the ladder - Anonymous employee Johnson Controls Employee Review

Don't try to climb the ladder here. HR will string you along with an offer FOREVER. They will not offer you compensation appropriate for the position and responsibilities you are taking on. They will only look at what you're getting paid currently and offer 5% more in pay. Doesnt matter if you're going from custodian to manager. Only 5% raise nothing more. Doesn't matter if your boss, your boss's boss, and his boss all agree you should be paid according to the responsibilities of the new job, they will only give you 5%. Then they'll say they got 10% approved, you accept, and they cut it back to 7%. The only way to get paid for the quality work you do is to find a new job with a new company for more money. If (!!!) you feel like coming back to JCI after that, then they might realize you're worth more money.
