Jabil reviews

Not really a con, but nobody will drag you to the position you want. Work is fast paced and requires a faced paced individual willing to be a part of a team. Benefits (Healthcare) are...wanting.

Managers were unbelievably bad. I don't intimidate easily, and I quit after 4 months because I felt intimidated. Was hired as an engineer and was only ever given manual labor to do. The big boss saw me checking the time on my phone and called me in for review on my first day. Had to furnish my own tools for this job, to do the manual labor, I did 12 hours a day, as an engineer... so bad it's confusing... Shop was horribly disorganized, and managers made us pretend to build robots for made-up customers when corporate came around. When I was actually being productive, bad project management meant that a job I was told to finish in 2 weeks would take 4 or 6 despite 12 hour days + Saturday. I'd complete a work-cell in a week and a manager would come tear it down to work on "software" or something while I was working on something else. Then I'd get in trouble. All the while the boss would talk about Steve Jobs and how hard he worked. Unsafe working conditions like lifting you up 30 feet on a forklift with no harness to pull down heavy equipment so we could pretend to build robots for fake customers. I nearly died. This place is the most ridiculously unprofessional employer I've ever had in 15 years working full time. Randomly received a paycheck 6 months after quitting, for like $100 or something. Still receiving medical, dental, vision, and retirement benefits 3 years after quitting, in spite of several calls and emails to HR. I suspect they never took me off the books.
