Pros

Compensation and benefits are what's standard in the industry. National and Global presence, decent products.

Cons

Poor management at several levels, which explains the high turn over rate. Inexperience technicians and poorly trained testing and inspection technicians, none of the technicians in the branch I worked had the appropriate certification (NICET Certification). In the many years I've worked in this industry, with all due respect my experience with Johnson Controls was the worst. In regards to Diversity & Inclusion at the management level a lot of improvement is needed. From my experience non of the managers I encountered above field supervisors level were people of color.

Pros

Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

Cons

The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
