Good work, poor management.

Pros

Good benefit package. Projects can be challenging. Most of the employees are great people (with some exceptions of course). Agressive goals.

Cons

Management constantly uses the latest buzz words, but that's all they are - words. So much effort is put into talking about the latest trend that execution is always missed. Employees are expected to maintain high levels of billable/chargeable work, yet also take on many hours of unpaid work - with the promise of a potential profit sharing bonus that never materializes. When work loads are light due to lack of sales, employees are sent home on vacation or banked flex time. Management talks about the desire to be a world class company, yet consistently keeps wages well below the average. Hard to become a world class company if you can't recruit and keep world class talent. The facilities are generally embarrassing. Head office is okay, but one look at most branch offices indicate that this is not a world class company.

Pros

Plenty of opportunities if you appreciate a fast-paced, interesting and challenging work environment. If you pull your weight, JMP is constantly supportive as they can be, and will furnish a hands-off approach and give a lot of flexibility to your work preferences which is excellent. They will make every effort to accommodate you when the customers needs are being met. Very good benefits and fluid cross support among the branches. It helps that I have an outstanding branch manager - it makes all the difference.

Cons

No such thing as a perfect job but this is fairly close for me. Not big on travel but it comes with the territory.

Pros

Excellent benefits plan - ...The best I've ever seen. Theoretical pay scale is somewhat below normal but acceptable - except for - see Cons - This is a serious concern.

Cons

Full time employees compete with subcontractor-employees for the same projects - unpaid 74/7 on call status - Employee is ONLY paid if time is billable to a customer! There is no assurance that there will be any work assignments - you can go weeks with no income even though you remain on call and bound by a non-compete. At management whim you may find yourself with nothing to do and therefore no income. I was sanctioned for raising this concern. Sanctions consist primarily of no work assignments even though there is plenty of demand. I have filled in 'full time' in this survey but full time might consist of zero hours. Best you consider this just like an on-call contract with no minimum number of hours.
