Pros

JCI is a very-well known and respected brand in different industries such as HVAC, Controls, Battery and working for this big multinational company can provide you great opportunities in your career.

Cons

Salaries are much less than expected and sometimes performance evaluations can be not fair. This is a sales-driven company and individual development is not very much supported by the company.
