I would NOT recommend working here

Pros

Met some really great, hard working, amazing people and had a couple of great managers.

Cons

Hard work, loyalty and providing many years of hard work are not valued by upper management. Some of the good managers that they do bring in, leave within a year or two. You will be worked to the bone (and then some) with no reward or acknowledgement by upper management. Lack of adequate training and documentation are rampant. In the beginning they had several different computer systems in the company and said they were going to upgrade to one integrated system to prevent "silos of information". Yeah!! Instead, got 3 new crappy systems that need to integrate. The company has too many managers and not nearly enough people to do the work that needs to be done. Absolutely no chance for advancement from within the company, UNLESS you are pals with the owners or in sales. Always bringing in new people from outside without posting the job internally first. The bosses come up with new "visions/ideas" but are quickly abandoned with no explanation. They do not seem to evaluate why those ideas failed and communicate what they learned from these experiments. Nor do they get and use input from the peons who actually work there and use the systems every day. Morale is VERY, VERY low. Lack of communication.

Pros

None at this time. See cons below. Not being there anymore is a pro at this time. Best of luck who takes the chance.

Cons

In my opinion the two most current reviews dated Nov 18 seem to be bogus. Very scripted and completely different for the rest of the reviews. Looks like a poor attempt at damage control.

Pros

Jacobus Energy is a great place to work, the owners are both very interactive with the business and the employees on a day to day basis. All Departments interact very well together. The company has goals and metrics as a whole that provides employees with the eagerness to strive for success while working hard on exceeding expectations. The owners are always looking at new ways to improve with the systems and incorporate upgrades so customers can rely on state of the art technology for all of their needs. I highly recommend this company as a preferred place to build your career.

Cons

Cannot think of any major or minor cons.
