Pros

Lots of learning opportunities, from internal and external training to cross-training. There is a lot of room to move up to higher positions because the company is continuously growing and expanding. The company paid for my professional certification.

Cons

The summers are crazy busy.

What Matters Most to JK? Not Its Employees' Satisfaction or Care

Pros

Some very good colleagues among so not so great colleagues. Among the bunch you can find people that are hardworking, kind, intelligent, and genuinely care about doing a great job for their team.

Cons

While the company may have cared about its employees more than a decade ago, that has not been the case for a while. For example: Hard workers are "rewarded" by being exploited with a far greater workload without pay adjustment; When employees leave, those left are told to pick up the slack and cover up to 2-3 roles worth of work, and are not given extra pay; Pay to begin with is so little for employees that they are forced to get an extra job to just to make ends meet; Health insurance is hilariously expensive that many have to go without; PTO is virtually nonexistent unless you've been at JK for more than 5 years. If you are a member of management, you can do no wrong in the eyes of JK - treating employees like dirt or behaving inappropriately is totally okay. HR is a joke and only does what's best for the bottom line (hello HR! I know you're reading this - everyone knows the games you play). On top of it all, employees are given absolutely no room to grow. Upward mobility isn't a thing for JK, because that means they'd have to 1. pay more, 2. allow you to learn and give room for creativity, 3. allow you to have an opinion. It is a fact that JK has a crazy high turnover rate. It is a fact that more than 30% of current corporate employees are looking for new positions. It is a fact that years-long employees are leaving at an alarming rate and will continue to do so until the entire culture and management strategy changes. It is a fact that continuing on the same path will have an impact on both quality of service and the profitability of JK. I was more than qualified for one particular open position, and another individual was hired for the role who had no qualifying experience whatsoever. In a different instance, I vied for an internal position that could literally save JK more than $7,000 per month - I was denied. Right after I left, JK realized they needed someone to fill that role and only then approved the position and opened it to applicants.

At JK, talent development is part of our culture. We have over 7,000 online courses and in-house training available to employees to help them achieve success in their current roles and elevate to future roles. In 2018, 12% of our employees moved into new roles of higher accountability. When positions are vacated, either from employees moving into new roles within the company or outside of the company, responsibilities may be distributed between the team members or to a temporary employee to maintain continuity of service until the position is filled. JK has a very rich benefit offering that includes both a safe harbor contribution to 401k regardless of the employee contribution and a profit sharing plan. Medical, dental, and vision insurance offers multiple plan options for employees to choose the plan that works best for their family. Paid Time Off (PTO) is based on years of service and the first increase to PTO accrual rate is at 2 years. Other benefits include paid holidays, service awards, tuition reimbursement, Company-paid life insurance, on-site exercise classes, and wellness programs. All employees are invited to complete an online exit interview survey and given the option to elect an in-person exit interview. If you did not receive the survey or would like to discuss your concerns further, please reach out to Human Resources. Thank you for your feedback.

Pros

The summer is the time to make the most money. The company was also very understanding when it came to family and personal life. The owner takes his time to engage with employees.

Cons

Pay was not enough for me. Insurance rates were way too high. Winters are rough because the business slows down. This could be for a good 3-4 months.

JK offers multiple medical insurance plans to help employees choose the right plan for their situation. Although hours may vary, our full time employees average over 40 hours per week. The Moving & Storage industry is seasonal and as such, we hire a large temporary workforce during the summer, yet many employees still work overtime. Thank you for your feedback.
