Pros

Starting pay was high as compared to the average in the area. Some managers are honest and attempt to provide a decent atmosphere.

Cons

Head quartered in France, the french side makes all the decisions and refuse to listen to those in the US. They would rather things be done the "French way" than agree with an opinion from the US. It seems unlikely that the Jax facility will continue in it's current state. Major changes would be required to make this money pit successful. The company as a whole shows an inability to make good decisions, perhaps due to the short leash demanded by French leadership. HR is horrendously pitiful, often rude, and lacking anything that one might consider HR like. It is highly unlikely that the Jax facility will be there for another year.

Pros

The benefits and salary are highly competitive.

Cons

The culture here is broken...they will tell you that all the bad reviews are old, and that new management has fixed the problems. They have NOT. The management here thrives on confrontational blame game. Turn over is high because of this, and almost anyone with experience has left the site. Those who remain are either good at the game, or are just broken because of the culture. And as 2020 approaches (employment obligations from government contracts will be finished) the future of the site is unknown. Take a job here if you enjoy getting thrown into a mess of problems, without training or guidance, and attacked by every angle while trying to solve them.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits available.

Cons

Horribly managed. Believe this and the other reviews found online. Avoid taking any relocation package. It will be the longest two years of your life. 401k needs 5 years to be fully vested.
