Pros

Some nice people work for the company.

Cons

Bad training, they tell you that there is a 2 year plan with opportunity to make money and advance then they change there mind with in a couple of months and it's all gloom and doom. They tell you that you will get a mentor and it never happens. They put you through 4 months of training and count those 4 months agents you for not making sales. They have a computer program called Nexgen that is a joke it never works and is super confusing.They don't give you a car allowance or very little for a car allowance. They claim to have high ethics and safety but their full of it it's all talk. Middle management has no back bone they are out to CYA and will not back you. Really think twice before going to work for these clowns as a sales person they put tons of obstacles in the way of making sales.

Pros

good pay good professional resources/colleagues good re-investment of profits into growing the company good ethics

Cons

most projects are the same - interest/challenge tends to drop as time goes on not a drawing production house company farms too much professional consulting out - i.e. this position is a paper pusher too many mouse clicks to do the most simple things within the company People with HVAC design background moving into the energy side will feel that is a step down although those individuals are the perfect fit to do the energy side properly.

Pros

It depends who do you work for and with, they may make you feel home and more than welcomed, or they may micro-manage your breath in order for him/her to get promoted. I worked for several years there where I enjoyed every moment I spent at JCI. In my first role, I grew up a lot. However, once I moved to a corporate role, my manager was all about "himself". More than happy yo throw you under the bus, in order for him to shine... So, mixed feelings.

Cons

Again, if you work for the Corporate Department, expect crazy politics and unprofessional behavior from some of the leadership.
