Pros

Pretty decent pay for Lakeland area. Jacob's many offices allows some opportunities to temporarily travel when work slows... which is often.

Cons

Company states employees are their greatest asset. Been with Jacobs for 9 years, and it seems to everyone here that Jacob's greatest asset is making money, forsaking the good will of their employees. No training offered whatsoever, employees have to fight with management to get paid for going to safety training that is REQUIRED to do the job. All travel is done economy (domestic and international) and on employee's time, unpaid. Last I checked I didn't want to travel to africa to risk ebola for my own fun.
