Jabil is a global company and due to that, even though the company principles are valid to all sites, there are differences between sites regarding how they are adopted and how employees are treated.
- Work life balance is not addressed as an important topic and employees frequently work long hours to keep up with their workload (some managers take care of their team by creating a better work life balance culture but it's not wide spread)
- Additional resources to help with critical tasks are rarely approved resulting on employees burn out
- Employee survey results are not acted upon timely, the results and actions should be better communicated by the management to the employees
- Benefits to promote health, fitness, and wellness are not provided by the site - every Jabil site approaches this differently depending on their top management team
- Transportation is not provided to line operators. That is a practice in some countries but not in the bay area
- Factories are ADA compliant but need to improve on internal program to incorporate differently able people to its workforce - from my experience perspective, Jabil Hungary has done a great job doing that
- Onboarding process needs improvement, mostly for highly technical employees. Their successful integration depends on the manager to whom they will report to
- Compensations most of the time do not match the level of work or job position. Sometimes employees accumulate job roles without salary increase
- Salary increases are kept at the minimum of the 3% yearly merit increase - Bay Area case, other regions might offer better increases
- Growing in the company does not mean equitable salary and there are gaps between managers in similar positions
- No meals services or healthy snacks are provided or available to purchase
Although these seem to be a long list of "Cons" I really think that if you are looking for developing yourself in a high demanding environment with exposure to different industries and technologies, Jabil is the right place.
