Pros

Leading diversified company. The company is strong and is well balanced between the three major business groups (Automotive, Battery and Facilities management). The management understanding the business and the environment that we are currently in. The company is a leader in "Green" development and is also gaining top and bottom line profits from it.

Cons

The company is very large and drives standard systems and are often cumbersome.

Pros

It is a great place to begin because Johnson is willing to provide opportunities to people that may not have the a high level of experience in their particular field. The benefits are very good and the opportunity to expand your education is very good with a generous tuition reimbusement program. Also Johnson provides excellent training in your particular field which is very valuable.

Cons

The downsides of Johnson is the fact that it is a very large organization and sometimes employees can get lost in the system and not receive opportunities. Also, to expand your career with Johnson Controls Facility Management or Controls Division as a manager you must be willing to relocate to various areas of the country or world. If you not willing to jump on the relocation wagon your career could stall.

Pros

Outstanding career and development opportunities. There are regular strategic talent reviews. Employees get promoted fast, even if just recently hired. Outstanding leadership performance by Power Solutions and Johnson Controls corporate management. Great vision and strategic planning (Hybrid batteries strategy, production footprint). Senior management is very experienced and skilled, yet approachable. Great employee morale in Power Solutions headquarter. Regular employee feedback.

Cons

Management is very demanding. Frequent overtime work and weekend. Quick turnaround time is always required. Johnson Controls has a history of production footprint changes to be best-in-class and the lowest cost producer. In certain areas Johnson Controls is using outdated IT systems..
