Pros

Company continues to growth - so there is always something new to work on. The company is focusing on growth using acquistion. There are so many challenges in integrating existing companies into the JCI IT infrastructure.

Cons

IT likes to work with a very lean staff and IT is expected not to specialize. Everyone is expected to work and support multiple projects with conflicting priorities. IT is still consider an overhead expense and is the first to make cuts to meet financial goals. IT needs to become a strategic part of the company and be leveraged to help growth and existing business be more productive and created more competitive advantages.

Pros

Decent pay, good PTO and benefits

Cons

Everything else. ZERO training. They hand you a laptop (which is garbage) and say good luck. There is no "team." Everyone is on their own. The senior techs all reached their peak 20 years ago and don't even know what BACnet is. The bureaucracy is unbearable. Ordering a simple part is nearly impossible. There are so many apps you have to check in on everyday and they care more about those metrics than they care about the service their customers are receiving. If you want to get your butt kicked everyday with zero support at a company that specializes in taking advantage of their customers, this is the job for you.
