Pros

Good bonuses and merit increases. ESOP. Lots of opportunities to learn.

Cons

The culture is more "hands off" to let team leaders have more freedom. Can really make or break your experience working here. Company is growing so fast it feels like the infrastructure can't keep up sometimes.

Pros

Will hire employees with limited experience ( only type of employee I would recommend to work at LJA ) Benefits are affordable

Cons

Company culture discourages open discussion about workplace issues, Leadership, including HR and senior managers, failed to address concerns professionally when raised. Lack of progressive discipline practices; decisions often felt reactive and driven by internal politics rather than policy. No clear protections in place for employees who speak up, retaliation is a real concern. Outdated systems and siloed communication between departments create inefficiencies. Low pay for industry ( they try to say it's because of ESOP) No diversification of retirement benefits ( all you get is ESOP no 401K Match ) Limited development opportunities for support staff Too many strings attached to the 1 day a week work from home ( example if you take PTO during a week then you forfeit your work from home day that week) Inconsistent training ( example people within accounting don't enter AP the same way/ no established best practices ) It's like working for a big small business ( not in a good way)
