Pros

They will eventually fire you, but will call it a layoff. Yes...this is a pro. There are no other pros.

Cons

They will abuse you, lie to you. If you are exceptionally good at your job, your boss will be threatened, and will move mountains to find a way to get rid of you. This is particularly true in the Philadelphia and Delaware markets, but is commonly known throughout the entire organization. ***JCI will violate multiple federal and state employment laws in how they handle holding commission from 1 year to the next, and your commission is 100% ensured to be wrong - every month. If you take a vacation, expect your boss to send a colleague behind you to take over your accounts permanently while you are out of town. The same applies if they send you for training somewhere else in the country. You will be expected to violate both company policy and federal law by taking government employees on "wine and dine" excursions, then coached on how to expense them so that they look to be compliant.

Pros

Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

Cons

The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
