Not so good experience, they hire within but management is poor from HR on down

Pros

Hire from within. They prefer to promote then to hire from the outside. (atleast at my site they do)

Cons

Management has poor communication and people will try and throw you under the bus to make themselves look good. Also HR is in another state. And if you have to call of for any reason they will take your paid time off to cover those days.

Pros

great employee workforce dedicated and great work ethic

Cons

very, very poor leadership from Exec lead team. Self serving at expense of employees. No business accuman so they continue to cut benefits and pay of employees to maintain margins.

Pros

Some good reasons for working at JBT include fair pay, benefits, 401k, and perhaps specific to my case, an excellent supervisor. JBT is a large, publicly traded, global company, but the business units are much smaller. It feels more like working for a small to medium-size company since there is little interaction between business units. (Unless you are a corporate HQ employee.) The down-side, it's harder to get promoted or move between divisions.

Cons

For years, the company has NOT been investing in R&D and new technology, some key patents have expired. As a result, some product lines have suffered and competitors have been eating away at market share with lower priced equipment that offer nearly the same features and benefits. It's hard to see the company lose it's market dominance, but it still is the best in several area. Service and support is a bright spot. JBT is big and is buying its way into new markets through acquisitions, another bright spot.
