Johnson Controls reviews

The 401k match at Johnson Controls is given and taken away regularly. I lost 3% of my annual benefits this way 2 days after starting with the organization. Given the record profits and very large stock buy backs at the company, cutting employee benefits seemed unnecessary (occurred before the COVID pandemic). A VP/GM at Johnson Controls (Christian Eichmann) actively encourages employees to ignore company safety policies which was a major red flag for me and a reason I left the company. He turned the office I worked at into a political atmosphere and made it an uncomfortable place to work. Johnson Controls seems to be at odds with this approach. So, I'll say the organization as a whole is a good place to work, but anything under Eichmann's branch is not.

Every project is rushed, so you basically are perpetually picking up the pieces as it’s all built. Also other companies you work with are always trying to scam JCI for a quick buck. There’s also an insane lack of talent to pull from, so with a few years experience you’ll find that you’re all alone, with the only people capable of helping you being long retired. Management has a way of driving the company with the pedal floored while the check-engine light is on. I’ve noticed the only happy employees are incompetent salespeople who don’t put any effort into developing what they sell, so you’re left to figure out what they sold. No one in sales ever gets fired either. At this point if I quit or fell ill, our company would be the subject of multiple lawsuits by our customers, just because the only person left to absorb the workload would be my boss, who’s prepared to retire. His boss I don’t think has worked a day in the past twenty years; just moves spreadsheets around and sends nasty-grams when timecards are late.
