Pros

Although I was absolutely unfamiliar with how complex the moving and relocation process actually was, I've learned a great deal over the past ten years working at JK. I equate it to a house painter. People say..."I can do that myself." Once you see a professional paint your house, you say...wow, it cost a little extra, but boy did I make the right choice to go with a professional. The entire process of moving is like working in real estate, you just don't know what goes on behind the scenes. It take a lot of work and dedication to make every job execute flawlessly. Even if there are hiccups, I enjoy that people at JK always want to make it right!

Cons

JK is a great place to work - the only con - many potential employees could be overlooking the company and the industry as a career option. We need to get more people considering a career in the moving, storage, and relocation services industry!

Pros

Working at JK was a great experience in many ways. They provide terrific benefits and a profit sharing program. They demand perfection, from truck cleanliness to customer support to operations.

Cons

The pros out weigh the cons, but if something negative is to be said it would be the hours during peak moving season. At times, overtime is expected on the weekends.

Thank you for your comments. We do our best to staff up for the peak season, but sometimes extended hours and overtime are necessary. JK understands that this can be hard on our employees and shows appreciation by hosting events throughout the summer such as on-site farmers markets, ice cream trucks, and work-life balance seminars to keep employees engaged.

Pros

One of our greatest strengths is our commitment to employees personal growth. At JK we believe in promoting from within, and creating a personalized career path, for individuals to succeed. We recognize that our in-house training program creates the next generation of industry professionals.

Cons

Being based around the DC market has both it's strengths and disadvantages, the most obvious downside being the heavy commuter traffic and the high cost Loudon County.

The JK campus is conveniently located off of 606 within walking distance of the new metro station. We eagerly anticipate the ability of our employees to choose public transportation for their commute in the near future. Until that time, we offer flexible and alternate work schedules to accommodate commutes from all locations. Thank you for taking the time to review us!
