Amazingly run company with benchmark quality systems and processes. Good training ground for your career, but lower pay

Pros

JCI has very strong manufacturing processes and quality systems in place on a global scale. It is a great place to learn how establish a Fortune 100 company with processes and procedures in place so that anyone can come in and do the job. Great training ground for your career to move on to other companies and excel.

Cons

The pay is very low and your life is consumed by the job. There is really no balance. There is a reason that JCI recruits college grads very heavily to handle the automotive scheduling jobs. They need the young energy and willingness for lower pay.

Pros

Fair compensation but not top level

Cons

Cultural and diversity issues drive business decisions. Assurances from management not always honored. For a company that very publicly displays its diversity and ethics it lacks corporate integrity when decisions are made when compared to their public image.
