Pros

For those that don't shy away from hard work, you will enjoy working here. Hard work is recognized and rewarded with great compensation and exciting projects. Long-term employment is prevalent with this company. There are many people with 30 and 40 year careers still working for the company. Turnover is very low.

Cons

There are not very many opportunities for step-function growth. For those that start with JT in their early career, the climb is long and perhaps a bit impossible. The best place to enter JT is in mid-management, when you are confident in your trade and ready to take on more.

Their managers want to help and care for their employees at most of the segments.

Pros

The people. They take pride in their work and reallly care about doing it right... the first time. Adminstrative support staff is also great to work with.

Cons

Management says they care about their employees, but prove they don't by their actions. Very little consideration is given to the impact of travel on employees lives. Management does not comunication well. Their is lack of sharing information that directly concerns a projects outcome..
