Pros

Great co-workers, flex schedule, as challenging as you want it to be.

Cons

As mentioned in other reviews, good ol' boy network is in full effect. Upper management is constantly bickering with each other. Decisions are made with out any fact gathering, it is then the responsibility of staff to clean up the messes. Outsourcing continues to grow despite all the issues it has caused. Management does not care about employees at all. Work from home is frowned upon. The issues are especially bad the higher you go in IT.

Pros

You are empowered to do as much as you want to do, no one will stop you. Open-door policy is real; access to leadership is abundant.

Cons

Still very much a man's world ... check out how many females are in leadership positions. Sexist jokes and behavior live on, unchallenged, at Jabil. And I mean at headquarters, not the plant. You WILL work all hours, all days, because this is a global company that never sleeps. Their mantra is 'work hard, play hard' ... and you WILL work hard. You'll get to 'play hard' at company parties (ie, get drunk) and they'll send you home in a company-paid taxi. When times get tough, they will lay off ... even if you have consistently high performance reviews. More than 400 laid off in September 2015, mostly women. Jabil used to be a good place to work; unfortunately they seem to be 'growing' into a corporation without a soul.

Pros

Florida has no income tax

Cons

Although people on this site state the benefits are "great", the aren't. There is just minimum 401K contribution compared to most companies. (4% vs, 8-10% at good companies) Salaries are well below national average. Some managers brag at the low salaries they pay their engineers. To add insult, they will require you to work many hours one year and lay you off the next year without regard to the time you have dedicated to the company. There is no job security at this company. The good ol boy network is alive and well. I feel sorry for the women who work there, the good looking ones are those that receive promotion, regardless of talent, If you are talented and middle aged, not so much.
