Pros

Friendly atmosphere for the most part. There truly is an open door policy. Customer satisfaction is top priority here, we seem to bend over backwards and sometime take it in the rear for our customers. Community is huge at JCI! Fund raising for their Community is in the Millions given.

Cons

Nothing ever set in stone. After 13 years of working on 1 st shift I was forced to go to 3rd because HR decided that they needed to reconstruct placement. Unless you have a degree there is no way to move up in the company: work experience and common knowledge is not even looked at compared to being wet behind the ears and just book smart. No one ever acknowledges you when you save the company money.

Pros

Good solid company with respect for their workforce. Our core values include sustainability and JCI is acting (not just talking) in support of their core values. The fiscals are very good for an automotive company.

Cons

Becoming a bit top heavy as we expand globally. It probably is necessary, but there are more layers than ever before between the floor worker and the top dogs. A good portion of our business is also impacted by the downturn of the american automotive market. That is hurting many plants.
