Pros
- There's lots of free stuff if that's what you're into - The people are generally very nice and polite to your face - Work life balance is good and you can take your PTO and sick time and no one complains. - It's a good place to coast if you can look happy and be the type of person they want. You'll be overlooked and overworked if you can't fit in though.
Cons
- Be prepared to be a token if you're a minority. Anytime someone even alludes to the white/maleness of leadership, they will point to the one or two successful non-white/male people who are higher up as proof Jobber isn't biased. But you suspiciously never hear from those same people unless its for them to say how great Jobber is. They are doing interesting things, but somehow never get showcased. - Company-led bias training is only mandatory for managers. It was opened for everyone else as an optional lunch and learn, so I went. Their stance for microaggressions and bias was that the minority person is directly responsible for educating the people doing the bias or saying microaggresions. And to make sure you give your direct feedback to the aggressor in a calm, way that is mindful of their feelings, because being told they're acting biased is a really hard thing for people to hear, and they probably just meant to be nice anyways. They lean really hard into the idea of 'assume positive intent', and trying to tell them good intentions can lead to harm anyways falls completely flat. Company policies are clearly written in an us vs them way, where minorities are the them. - There's a lot of brand new managers, or managers who only ever worked at Jobber, so they don't seem to understand there's different ways of doing things. They're insecure so avoid giving them real feedback, even though they say they want it. Promotion is a popularity contest, so make sure the right men like you. It's the ones who've been there longer than 5 years and everyone talks about like they're gods. It's hard to miss.
