Pros

JMBA, Lighthouse Resort, Child care, legacy retirement savings plans.

Cons

Total compensation increases of 1% per year since Great Recession. Leadership team no longer acknowledges low moral. No incentives to perform. Company is Striving to purge everyone who stays long enough to vest. The tone is set so that you feel like the place is one payment from bankruptcy/ the future looks dire yet the Johnson family's wealth has exploded during and after the Great Recession. Meanwhile People are being shamed into working forced weekends while others are burning Jetfuel to stage photo ops with pop bottles.

Pros

You will not be bothered by people talking to you, benefits seem okay.

Cons

Don’t expect to be trained on anything. Management will expect you to figure things out on your own, request your own accesses and figure out what you need without any guidance. They’ll send people to you for questions on how to do stuff within your first couple days, not having taught you how to do those things.
