Contras
Like any large company, it is very easy to get lost in the crowd. Recognition for your daily efforts are few and far between, but there have been some changes made to address that. If you don't do something that is totally outstanding, there is never any recognition. At our local office, the middle management isn't interested in recognizing your daily contributions, unless it benefits them directly. Communication from the corporate office is adequate, but the things going on at the local level are never communicated. There have been people hired/fired for weeks without any kind of notification to the other employees. I feel I am well compensated for the work that I do, but if there was another company that I knew had a more 'family' atmosphere, it wouldn't take much to convince me to leave Johnson Controls. And I have been with the company for over eleven years.
