Pros

Good place to gain lots of experience. Executive leadership is good. Good community programs and company values Good career opportunities if you know the right people and don't engage in petty politics.

Cons

Middle management and HR is terrible. Some Sr. IT Directors will grind you up and burn you out.

Pros

Jabil is great in supporting employees in true need - e.g. supporting employees in Puerto Rico and their families that were affected by hurricanes. Besides that there is an open-door policy for the C-suite (on paper).

Cons

Old-school, white-male, "good-old-boys-club" management culture. Yelling at and insulting employees is perceived to be normal and often role modeled by Top management - including HR (!).

Going the Wrong Way for a Long Time

Pros

Not many these days. Most of the non-management employees are hard-working, honest, dependable people. Management-not so much.

Cons

Exempt employees are expected to work 10-12 hour days and most weekends. Hourly employees are jerked around constantly on hours, told one week they can't have overtime, then demanded to work a 60-hour week the next. Morale is the lowest I've seen in several years. The division is terribly understaffed and management has become lazy and clueless over the last decade. Most managers either do not know or do not care if the business that they bring in is within the capability of the current staff to produce, and core competencies like IPC-A-610 soldering requirements are not trained effectively enough to prevent passing non-complient product to the end customers at a consistent and alarming rate. Training is nearly non-existent and supervisory personnel are not knowledgable enough to fill the void of only having one trainer in the plant.
