Pros

. Very determined and committed leadership . Forward thinking business approach . History of impactful innovation . Insistent on financial results

Cons

. Too focused on metrics, often at the expense of people . Dogged determination to make the numbers, almost at any cost . Runs way too lean; most people doing 2-3 jobs after RIF's with no title or pay adjustments . Overworking people; sometimes run production people 7 days/week . Overly structured; not enough flexibility about roles . Too many decisions made at Corporate for field or plant locations by people who do not know the businesses or the people . Really bad at change management, especially after M&A's (Attitude is "we bought you, so just do what we say.") . Many fake processes in place (like a global employee survey that people lie on) . Johnson Controls really c-o-n-t-r-o-l-s. . Seems very willing to cut people or change their roles without their notification or buy-in.

Pros

The benefits are good for the most part.

Cons

Overwhelming amount of tasks. Paying for company vehicle as a manager reduces your overall income. Made more money in the field. Overly competitive atmosphere within the company, No work-life balance, Nepotizm is ramped.
