Any rating over 2 stars is not an accurate reflection of my experience.

Pros

Compensation and benefits are what's standard in the industry. National and Global presence, decent products.

Cons

Poor management at several levels, which explains the high turn over rate. Inexperience technicians and poorly trained testing and inspection technicians, none of the technicians in the branch I worked had the appropriate certification (NICET Certification). In the many years I've worked in this industry, with all due respect my experience with Johnson Controls was the worst. In regards to Diversity & Inclusion at the management level a lot of improvement is needed. From my experience non of the managers I encountered above field supervisors level were people of color.
