How employees describe working at Johnson Controls
Great vision and sustainability goals however the company is very fragmented and different business units don't seem to operate seamlessly or collaboratively. Too big at times to be more efficient/effective.
Review from Sales Dept
They like to micromanage, show favorites and target employees they dont like
Communication with clients and transparency of services. Someone really needs to take a look at what is going on with the South Carolina office and Wester North Carolina Team. There are a lot of disgruntled employees and the management team has proven very rude.
A chance to grow if you work hard.
It's about the same as working for any other large corporation, You're a small cog in a large machine. JCI is a VERY old fashioned company with some outdated values and convoluted ways of doing things. They definitely make their work flows way more complicated than it needs to be.
