A little less than what I hoped for but it’s manageable. - Electrician Johnson Controls Employee Review

Pros

Great benefits, you can use company tools, will always have work. Not far from the city of Hattiesburg which is a great place.

Cons

Very low pay, no training (kind of just get thrown out there), majority of the attitudes suck (no one speaks and always looks like they hate their lives), the hours blow (first shift 6am-2pm, second shift 2pm-10pm, and third shift 10pm-6am). They say you’ll work just a few Saturdays but so far I’ve worked every one of them and I’ve asked around and been told that every Saturday has been worked for the past two years. There’s only “30 minutes” worth of a break during the whole 8+ hour shift (10 minutes at my 8 am and 20 at 11 but it takes at least 3 minutes just to walk away from where you’re working to go outside or the break room for break which takes off a lot of time). The list goes on and on. I’d only take this job if I was really desperate.
