Declining culture with toxic leadership and poor benefits

Product owner 2

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It used to be a solid place to work in tech and grow professionally, but the company’s approach to layoffs (they don’t do them and also don’t fire bad talent) and its inability to retain strong talent have really changed the culture to slant toward a quality showing of ineptitude and lackadaisical natures. Poor benefits, little regard for employee feedback or new ideas, and a tendency to dismiss less-tenured employees make it feel like a place to start a career rather than build one long term. It’s good for gaining some initial growth and trying new things, but eventually most people would be better off anywhere else.

Cons

* Time off and flexibility are lacking. There’s very little recognition that employees may have family outside the area, and the resistance to remote work makes that harder. * Benefits are weak overall. Healthcare costs are high, and parental leave is minimal compared to other companies in tech. * Upper leadership often feels toxic, with little strategic vision and a heavy focus on marketing-style messaging over effective leadership and execution. * Tech leadership struggles to balance teams, budgets, and long-term strategy, and there’s very little investment in coaching or developing employees for success.

Openly discriminates against gay people with pay gaps. Not worth it.

Pros

There are benefits at this job.

Cons

Someone on the JB Hunt hiring team is extremely homophobic. I had coworkers I went to highschool with who barely graduated and worked crummy jobs before this and got hired on at $24 an hour, but I struggle to get paid above $17.50 an hour for the exact same position with a college degree and over a decade of call center experience. Hired on people from gas stations with no college into higher roles but someone with a degree gets paid dust. Good luck here if you are not a straight white male.
