Pros

JCI Employees are well compensated both in pay and benefits. They also hold many events for the betterment of the city of Milwaukee. Prestige - people think JCI is a world class company.

Cons

Lack of ethics (despite the annual mandatory exam.) Political. Arrogant. People promoted out of friendships vs. content. Rigid thinking. The JCI way is the only way to do business and if you come from the outside, you'll adapt or grow stagnant. People are also jerked around from position to position and they will put you where they can "use you". The claim to care about their employees, but their actions show otherwise.

Pros

Decent pay, good PTO and benefits

Cons

Everything else. ZERO training. They hand you a laptop (which is garbage) and say good luck. There is no "team." Everyone is on their own. The senior techs all reached their peak 20 years ago and don't even know what BACnet is. The bureaucracy is unbearable. Ordering a simple part is nearly impossible. There are so many apps you have to check in on everyday and they care more about those metrics than they care about the service their customers are receiving. If you want to get your butt kicked everyday with zero support at a company that specializes in taking advantage of their customers, this is the job for you.
