Pros

Good business practices, solid compensation and benefits, and exciting place to work. There are lots of opportunities to move around geographically and to cross train in other positions.

Cons

Can be difficult to balance work and life. High expectations all around.

Pros

Continuous training offered. Good pay. Wear jeans everyday.

Cons

Works salaried personnel well beyond normal hours without compensation. Too much "good ole boy" mentality. Really do not have the employee's best interest in mind.

Pros

- Jabil moves very fast in response to customer demands. - Jabil is present in more than 55+ locations, across the globe. - Jabil does offer its staff the chance to work on some very cutting edge CE products. - Jabil can erect a new product manufacturing line faster than almost anyone.

Cons

- While Jabil has a fairly young staff overall. The politics and decisions are driven by those with 15+ years in house. So plan your moves wisely. - To respond fast to customer demands, often leads staff to 60 and 90++ hour work weeks on salary - The far flung manufacturing plants mandate lots of travel, so give up your Sat and Sundays. You'll be in the airport queue then. - If you are overseas, and the factory is running on Sat and Sun, then so are you. Working For Free !! - Jabil can and will close a manufacturing line equally fast. Most line workers are let go the same week. - If a customer kills a product line, then Jabil sheds their own staff incredibly fast. That includes salaried professionals all the way up through Supvrs, Mgrs, and Dirs. Lateral job placements are a rare and very competitive commodity. So living under the guillotine may not match your lifestyle.
