Pros

You learn a lot about the industry. As a large supplier you really learn how to work with suppliers and customers. You learn about lean manufacturing and what it takes to make a profit in a difficult industry. The people are great. They are smart, strong and dedicated. They have a strong team environment. Teams are comprised from a cross functional background. This gives you the opportunity to work with many different disciplines.

Cons

The politics. As with many big organizations your promotion is unfortunately linked to who you know, not what you know. The strong players are kept at their current positions to carry the weight of the workload. A second downside is JCI is predominantly an automotive supplier and the company takes a hit when the big 3 take a hit.

Pros

Great benefits, upper management is quite motivated to improve the overall opinion of the employees. The potential is limitless and the tuition reimbursement is wonderful. They paid for $12,000 a year for graduate school so getting a masters is basically free. They pay for masters in basically any field that the company has a job in any department. Getting a PhD paid is much harder but not improbable. They determine on it by a case-by-case basis.

Cons

The HR department is horrifically slow and it can take months to get hire so potential candidates get discouraged and take a job somewhere else

Pros

There is tremendous room for advancement and excellent training opportunities. The people are good to work with and the management is fair in their decisions. Safety program is excellent, benefits and salary is above average.

Cons

Being it is a large company, changes are slow to occur. Sometimes systems that work well are changed and then time will go by and the system is brought back into the company.
