Johnson Controls Employer Reviews

Good job until the job ended and I got laid off. before that we always had something to do and my co-workers anI got it done asap.

A typical day at work consisted of trying to get the proper tools needed to get a job done. Having to deal with 2 different cmms programs to get work completed. Working with a very poor purchasing program with a very limited amount of vendors, making it very time consuming to get parts even for critical issues.

enjoyable part of the job was a challenging environment and good location

While performing the duties of this job i would Maintain proper equipment documentation and history records also Coordinate and participate in the planning and management of facilities repairs and maintenance systems to world-class standards

Like the culture, working time, better work life balance, nice supervisors, freedom to come up with innovative ideas.

I got tonnes of O.T. with these guys I wish I could get my job there back in fact. MIg welding galvanized steel most of the day, I learned lots about HVAC equipment and the inside components of the units. Everyone I worked with had a good energy and if I got the call to go back and work for these guys I'd be there in a second

The pay was great, the benefits were great, the overtime sucked. I appreciated it when it was payday though. Really an excellent company to work for.

Great place for catering to you to get you in the door. Then its totally horrible. Management is undescribable, but if I had to I would say.... unorganized; self-fullfilling; no consideration given to salaried or managerial staff (its all about the hourly); productivity is the only focus; abilities and skills are trash canned; may never get to use the – more...  skills you were trained for; and forget about family life.... you will be expected to work 12+ hours a day, with some weekends (no exceptions). – less

The work and coworkers were good. Management thought it better to grind everyone 10 or 12 hrs. a day, as opposed to forcing the lowest seniority person occasionally as needed. If they make any profit in the Battle Creek plant, it'll be a miracle! Maybe other plants are better, I know for a fact they pay better!

Great co workers and great place but long entrenched management and its survival instincts makes it difficult to change anything.

This is a great company to work for. Great management, great benefits

Very Quick To Adapt To, Quick To Make Friends & Get Along With Everyone...Comfortable Work Enviroment

i enjoyed going to work every day that i worked there, i wish the auto industry didn't take a turn for i worst because i would have been stilled enployed there

A typical day at work involved performing quality checks at the start of every shift and maintaining that quality all through my work shift.
What you learned; I learn how to communicate well to the management and to my coworkers, I learned a great deal of machine skills, how to work safely at all times, maintaining quality to everything I made, and – more...  that my job was to satisfy my customer.
Management; evolved to create a safe, productive, work environment for myself and my coworkers.
Your co-workers; grew to become my extended family, we knew each other kids, watched them grow-up, worked as a team to make hard job easier, and shared wonderful experiences together.
The hardest part of the job was the summertime heat; but my employer provided jell-filled cooling neck bands to wear, hydration stations with beverages to replace electrolyte loss, and many fans.
The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to work independently; it gave me control of my work pace to make my work day go faster. I enjoyed learning new things and sharing them with others; I also enjoyed training new machine operators as a group leader. – less

I loved working for this company, there workers were great, provided great customer service needs to their clients, management was awesome.... security fantastic....
There was lack of work so I was let go. But I was there for a while.... Cant complain. It was great while it lasted
