Pros

JE is an 'employee friendly' organization with super management. Managers at all levels recognize the value of employees which makes one feel respected & trusted. Their compensation & benefits packages are as good as any and better than most; great variety of medical benefits to choose. I think one of the better benefits offered is their 401K plan; it is administered by Vanguard Mutual Funds which is the best-of-the-best no-load fund companies with the lowest expense ratios in the industry.

Cons

I can't think of any. I enjoyed my time & the work with Jacobs.
