Forest through the trees

Pros

A lot of latitude in my position to affect and contribute value to the organization. People are very hard working and want to be recognized for their efforts. There is considerable opportunity for career advancement, with a caveat. Jabil has been good to me but ironically because of their structure impairs my ability to be better for them.

Cons

The good ol boys club is alive and prevalent, meaning that going outside of the established construct is counter-productive to your career opportunities. Few are willing to step up and take a stand for what is right for the employees and the company with a longer term perspective. Jabil struggles from inadequate leadership, who cannot invariably see the forest for the trees; and because of this we have a very reactive orientation to changes in the marketplace.

Great people, poor leadership

Pros

smart, motivated people; relaxed dress code; fast-paced environment so you accomplish and learn a lot in a short period of time; great benefits

Cons

executive leaders, though smart, are detached; promotions are often based on friendships and politics rather than skill and performance; leaders aren't held accountable for their lack of leadership ability

Pros

Jabil Communicated across the divisions very well, policies & procedures well defined, everyone in Jabil works together as a team. Being a very fast paced contract manufacturing leader, much is expected, you need to know what your doing and hit the ground running, above all remain accountable for your input and actions. The culture is one of fostering from within, and I found the longevity of their employees above all their greatest asset. From the support personal to highest level management everyone is focused, commited, and well trained to meet or beat any customers expectations.

Cons

Most resources where stretched to the breaking point. The hours tend to be long, The 'Boy's Club' mentalility is alive and well, though mostly kept behind close doors in the divisions. You won't find many upper management woman, not sure if it is because of the product, I found even the exceptional woman where given less money and title, and the average man would most likely be promoted before a woman.
