Pros

-Opportunity for growth, -start out with 18 vacation days with 40 hours sick leave, -6 weeks of fully paid maternity and paternity leave, -Tuition reimbursement program (up to 12k annually), -5% 401k match with additional match ranging from 1%-5% depending on how old you are and how long you've worked at JCI, -many positions have opportunity for hybrid or fully remote opportunities

Cons

Not the greatest medical insurance, benefits have changed several times since I've been here that have become worse. For example some recent changes made are: next upgrade in vacation days was pushed out to 10 years when it used to be 7 years. The amount of additional 401k match you receive that is based off your age and years of service declined. If you work on a team, the raises are pulled from the same pool--so if you and another coworker are both outstanding you both will not be able to receive a substantial performance based raise.

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.
