Pros
Very good pay. Ok Medical Good 401K and benefits Steady Work - JBT - Jetway in Ogden owns 70% of the market. Good Job Security for now.
Cons
They lack any form of mentorship. Projects are thrown over walls to let other departments deal with problems. They have contempt for their customers. I was a project manager. After being there for a year I started calling myself a Customer expectation manager as my job was to take my customers expectation from where it was...down to the level of service they would actually get. Product was almost always late - if it wasn't late it was guaranteed that we would have missed shipping something vital. 8 to 12 hours preparing for one monthly meeting to explain all the finanacials for all projects where PM's were seldomly backed up for their work (which they had little control over anyway). PM's are viewed as expendable assets. I can't say I wasn't warned as multiple people (including PM's who "made the cut" and were being promoted) stated that there were major issues with the operation of this plant. In short management appears ambivalent about the success of their people, or the efficiency of their operation as long as the bottom line is met. And 'the bottom line' is different for each department so if feels like a tug-o-war to get things moving. Multiple customers are repeat customers. At the beginning of the job most would say something like "Don't let this go south like it did last time" It would invariably go south. I asked multiple customers why they went with JBT Jetway if it always ended like this. They answered "Because your competition is worse than you" As a PM they replace you after 3 years or fire you. I was one of the oldest PM's when I hit my 2 year mark (the only one who was there longer was my boss). I was "Let go" shortly after that. Surprisingly the CEO is a pretty good guy, we just didn't see him or the culture he purported to want in his company, much in Utah. That is not a good reason to get repeat business. JBT was in the process of changing for the better from 30 years of mismanagement. I predict it will take at least until 2023 until a lot of the damage from those years is reversed culturally enough to effect good change. Hopefully it's still progressing to be better.
