Very disappointed

Pros

Good Benefits, professional HR department, Good safety program

Cons

They have tried to become the most sophisticated Facility Maintenance provider in the word and have numerous programs to do it. Problem is everything seems to be based on Excel....gather tons of info...but extracting the information becomes a time consuming endeavor and we all spend our time on the computer and not managing the buildings... Low bidders don't have the staffing necessary to provide such grandiose schemes...

Pros

Well compensated, good benefits. Great for anyone in any position who wants to learn accounting and business metrics. If you are not in finance, you will be.

Cons

Sr. Leadership is not held accountable. They are focused on near term metrics that have a devastating effect on the long term success of the business. Senior leaders are satisfied with incremental business with low profit margins. These leaders are not held accountable for poor business decisions -- instead, when it becomes apparent, they are more likely rotated to another part of the company.

You are just a number

Pros

Not many these days. Some great, dedicated, smart and innovative people (which they are losing at an alarming rate). Pay is just ok for what you do. Benefits average.

Cons

Shareholders are number one priority. You are part of a headcount and nothing more. Regardless of your ability, talent, dedication and loyalty, you will be terminated if you don't fit in to the latest hare-brained reorganization or if the numbers don't look that good for the quarter. JCI used to be a forward thinking company and invest in its people. Not anymore.
