Pros

There is a lot of energy in the company right now because of the recent sale of this business unit (formerly Johnson Controls Power Solutions). This business has been a strong performer for many years and is now being positioned to be a strong separate business, apart from the Johnson Controls parent. Good company benefits and really great people in the company.

Cons

Every company has difficult seasons and people and Clarios is no different. This is a great company - you'll have a great experience the more flexible you are and are willing to flex along with the changes.

Pros

There are some kind and passionate individuals who work here. Very easy to work there and do very little, no one is held accountable and everyone is too disengaged to care. The pay is decent. Summer hours for corporate employees is a nice perk.

Cons

Too many to list, but let’s start with: 1. Completely disengaged CEO 2. PE Firm, Brookfield, calls all the shots and makes terrible decisions 3. This is a global company solely focused on US issues. Ironically where they focus is where they do the worst. The closer to corporate /Brookfield, the worse off they perform 4. Lack of investment in their people or their plant equipment…working with equipment from the 1970s 5. If you’re smart or want to drive meaningful strategic change, be prepared to be let go 6. Consistent churn of senior leadership, they continue to leave…. Jumping ship from the top 7. Last two external C-Suite hires are questionable at best, unethical at worst… but given the average tenure of new senior leader hires they will be gone within a year 8. DEI is a joke here. Senior leadership gives it lip service but no true action or investment. 9. Lack of transparency or honest communication from senior leadership and Brookfield 10. Lack of leadership, at every level
