Incompetence and high turnover rate
Pros
JBS is a great way to "get your foot in the door", so to speak. Come in, learn what working in an office environment is like, and get some experience so you can get that "real" job after college, because you likely won't be staying long.
Cons
Absolute chaos. The company's sole business model is to acquire other companies without giving IT (or any other department) the time or resources they need to make the necessary adjustments or upgrades. JBS has a set of "core values" that are never adhered to or reflected by management decisions. Career development is an absolute joke and simply nonexistent (although management will continue to pretend they take it seriously). Promotions don't exist, either, at least not in a traditional sense. Everything is considered a "lateral movement", so while the employee has an entirely new set of duties and is ultimately more valuable, JBS can get away with overloading their plate without increasing their salary. My official title remained the same during my time at JBS, but my other two teammates -- who held the same position -- had entirely different titles. Accountability is a joke. System admins are allowed to do whatever they please, affecting hundreds of users, without any repercussions. Granted, JBS's system admins are overworked, too, so what choice do they have? The Help Desk is a joke -- 6 people for 20,000 users or something like that. JBS is ultimately a place stuck in the 1980s model of IT and refuses to put in the necessary time and money to make it worthwhile for employees to stick around.
