Pros

I very much enjoyed my many years at JCI until Alex Molinaroli took over as CEO. The company was growing, the work was interesting and rewarding and there was a real sense of team and sometimes even family and then it changed - dramatically.

Cons

When Alex took over the whole tone changed to an adversarial management style where mistakes were not an option and people were fired to "fix thing". The negative management style changes were compounded by leadership trust issues given the very poor ethical decision making by Alex in his personal life and the lack of any action by the board.

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.
