Employee Spotlight: David Pearce We're excited to spotlight David Pearce, a Production Supervisor with Johnson Controls with 47 years of experience in the manufacturing industry. Check out his journey and insights below! Q: What kind of jobs have you worked in Manufacturing? David: I have worked or helped in most all departments. Some welding, painting, wall fabrication, sheet metal fabrication, unit assembly & floor leadership. Q: What made you want to get into Manufacturing? David: At first it was going to be temporary but the more I did, the more I enjoyed it. Then when I made it to department supervision that was it, I realized I was meant to be here. Q: What is something you think most people don’t know or understand about the Manufacturing Industry? David: Most people don’t know or realize the stress factor that the workforce has trying to meet or exceed customers’ expectations while battling the “little fires” along the way. Q: What is your favorite aspect of your job? David: All of it, but if I had to pick one it would be the tremendous feeling of accomplishment when all expectations are met. Q: What advice would you give someone who is interested in working in the Manufacturing industry? David: Do your research, try not to take a job just to make money. Find one that challenges you & you will get tremendous job satisfaction. Keep a positive attitude, do your best. It will get noticed by everyone. Thank you, David, for 47 years of dedication and leadership in Manufacturing! #EmployeeSpotlight #ManufacturingVeteran #Leadership #CareerSatisfaction #ProductionSupervisor #ManufacturingIndustry

Employee Spotlight: Shonica Blackston We're excited to spotlight Shonica Blackston, a Wall/Roof Fabricator with Johnson Controls with 4 years of experience in the manufacturing industry. Check out her journey and insights below! Q: What made you want to get into Manufacturing? Shonica: I like working with my hands. I like building & putting things together. I thought it would be an interesting field to pursue. Once I started, I continued & started learning more & trying new trades. Q: What is something you think most people don’t know or understand about the Manufacturing Industry? Shonica: I think the manufacturing industry is pretty much like putting a puzzle together. Building different parts & bringing the parts together. Although we are in different departments, we work together to build multiple masterpieces. Q: What is your favorite aspect of your job? Shonica: Having the opportunity of creating & being a part of something people use every day. Q: What advice would you give someone who is interested in working in the Manufacturing industry? Shonica: Be open. Be flexible. Pay attention to details because anything you miss could mess up the next phase for another department or person.
