Incredible Benefits & Great Culture

Pros

It is so refreshing to work in a place with positive associates and an overall great culture. Tone at the top is amazing. Great communication from the top on down through management and their associates. My stress level has decreased in a big way after I made the move to JM. It is a family friendly company with reasonable healthcare premiums for a family, they keep working (and breastfeeding) moms in mind when designing their work spaces, and they have generous paid time off. They encourage healthy eating with affordable on-site cafes that have great menu options. They have begun flexible work (time and place) arrangements in select departments. They also have an on-site family center run by a good third party daycare company. Very little they could do to improve. Great job!

Cons

They offer paid maternity leave of 12 weeks, but competitive employers offer more. I think JM could step it up in this area.

Pros

It really feels like working with family. The associates are great to work with, at least most, the company does a great job recognizing good work, and the benefits are great too. From free gym, hair cut and manicures, to affordable meals at the cafeteria, to massages and discounts in vehicles and parts. One of the best things I enjoyed was the foundation events. Every month there was an organization or local event to give back to the community. I allowed me to meat other associates while bonding helping our community. The average tenure is about 10 years so almost everyone enjoys their role.

Cons

The learning and development program needs more direction. Managers don't know go to coach and mentor. Also, they wait until your annual review to give you feedback, which doesn't give you time to improve if you don't know what you need to work on. Also, it is very hard to find new opportunities to advance your career. Red tape and favoritism are very noticeable and frustrating.

Pros

Great pay package and benefits. Highly profitable and stable company

Cons

The internal culture is hard for new hires and can be perceived as not inclusive. Long term employees don't turn over much. Almost all the turnover is in recent hires. Don't feel like your a true part of the organization for years.
