Pros

JCI Employees are well compensated both in pay and benefits. They also hold many events for the betterment of the city of Milwaukee. Prestige - people think JCI is a world class company.

Cons

Lack of ethics (despite the annual mandatory exam.) Political. Arrogant. People promoted out of friendships vs. content. Rigid thinking. The JCI way is the only way to do business and if you come from the outside, you'll adapt or grow stagnant. People are also jerked around from position to position and they will put you where they can "use you". The claim to care about their employees, but their actions show otherwise.
