Pros
My experience with Johnson Controls has been very positive. My coworkers are fantastic and my manager is a boss. I don't know if it is like this everywhere, but again, my experience has been positive. Able to work remotely whenever I want as long as I'm being productive.
Cons
Sometimes management can be restrictive with spending allowances in an effort to improve shareholder value.

"EDO"
StarStarStarStarStarI worked at Johnson Controls full-time
Pros
Holiday pay, good starting pay if you have customer service experience
Cons
Feels like a prison, not accommodating to those that have emergencies. Feels like your job is on the line every day. No job security
Advice to Management
Make your employees feel like they matter, not like you’re already looking for their replacement after they’re hired

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Johnson Controls full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
There are good people and the benefits are comparable to other mid-large size companies.
It is a good place to start. Everything after will feel like a breeze.Cons
The structure is set up to compete with itself so there is a lot of infighting, mistrust, and little sharing of information.
Raises over 10% must be approved by multiple levels of management. Some of which have no bearing on you or your work.
Employee turnover is high since they are easily recruited or leave voluntarily due to low pay.
Systems and processes are outdated.Advice to Management
Get with the times. You need to consolidate your teams, not just in name. People do not believe they share one purpose but are always trying to protect themselves.
Focus on employee retention for positive growth over time. There is no reason to act like the money isn’t there for compensation/benefits when others in the industry are thriving.
The company needs to have a forward look on utilizing technology in order to streamline day to day processes.Johnson Controls 2019-01-11 03:48 PSTHelpful (1)

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Johnson Controls full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Independent work environment, decent pay, and benefits, company vehicle, computer and phone. Good amount of OT available most times of the year.
Cons
Hard to have a voice heard past the local manager. Needs to put employees as a higher priority.
Advice to Management
Take care of the employees and the company will grow. 7 out of 10 employees are having money issues, fix that and they will be more productive, and the company 401K will be stronger for it and highly compensated team members will be better able to fund retirement. "Smart Dollar" is a good way to get this going and help the employees.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Johnson Controls full-time (More than a year)
Pros
The pay is competitive coming in, and recruiters are professional and courteous.
There's a lot of good knowledge to learn and pick up from the senior members.
Due to being lean (see Cons) you can get a very large exposure to the company and different engineering areas.
The New Freedom, PA building is new and beautiful, and the labs once they're up will be as well.Cons
Once you're in it's hard to get promotions, there's a very flat org structure.
The raises are minimal (if not delayed).
The company is super lean.
There is limited lab space and lab labor, and the various product groups will fight/argue over them.
You will work a lot, but you'll also want to put in the time.
They have trouble keeping engineers (and other technical staff) due to a myriad of personal/management/growth opportunity issues.Advice to Management
There is a desire to be the best in the world and break into new technical areas, but the engineering teams lack the staff and tools to do so. Hiring more people and investing in some modern tools /analysis packages would not be a waste of money.
