Pros

Johnson Controls is a fantastic company to work for! The PTO and holiday schedule are generous, and I’ve found the work-life balance to be exceptional. As a Digital Campaign Specialist, I feel valued and empowered to try new strategies and technologies. The team is supportive and open to new ideas.

Honestly, I can’t think of any cons to mention.

Legacy Tyco Simplexgrinnell employee excited for the future with Johnson Controls Fire Protection.

Field service technician

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Enjoying the work I do and the people I work with. I am a former Tyco SimplexGrinnell employee and being a part of this team has been satisfying from day one. Great pay, good benefits, computer based and classroom training, etc. Overtime is always offered and there are commissions you can earn as a field technician.

Cons

The workload can be too much at times and you have to learn when to say no. (Work Life Balance). Also, it is a massive company and it is easy for things to take long to happen because of the many channels requests must go through before they are executed. (For customers and for employees.)

Pros

Great people throughout the organization. The Power Solutions division, in particular, has a close knit all-for-one/one-or-all vibe. We are a large organization, with a ton of opportunities for people who can drive their own career growth.

Cons

The layoffs have begun in earnest. It’s obvious that our former CEO sold out to the highest bidder, shoved wads of money in his pockets, and is now living the highlife while JCI is dismantled by our new CEO. It’s sad to see strong performing colleagues’ jobs being eliminated without rationale (other than cost cutting). Benefits reductions (401K match reductions, delays in merit increases, health care offerings diminished) and multiple layers of layoffs are all strategies that Tyco (and George Oliver) have deployed with other companies that they have taken over.
