Pros

Pretty good benefit package. They've never done associate layoffs.

Cons

Do not work in IT at Jones if you are a woman who is not in to agreeing with *everything* all the men say and do and everything women up the chain of command to you say and do. When I started at EJ, I was glad to work at a place that was on the list for best places to work. However, despite the fact that I was in a department where I was told it was people first, my experience was often far from that. I tried to get management to help me with a gender harassment case but my concerns were largely dismissed. I filed a report to HR. Then, my manager wanted me to have 1:1 meetings with the person I filed the report against. I told my manager that I wasn't comfortable with it, and for a time she seemed okay with it. A few months later, she wrote me a bad performance review in retaliation for me going to HR and telling her I wasn't cool with how she handled the situation. Note, she went super out of her way to try to get me to trust her by saying things like "you can vent to me", "you can pull me out of a meeting to talk" and "hold my feet to the fire if I'm not the leader you need me to be". I tried going to my skip level about the retaliation, and he dismissed my concerns saying things like "firm surveys indicate most people don't have a problem with her" and "management satisfaction is much higher in this department to others at the firm". Even after the retaliation from my manager, other people got me dressed down for expressing disagreement and some frustration which the men got to do without anyone calling them out. I was treated like I ridiculous and out of control, when in reality I wanted to be taken seriously with my harassment case, have a manager that was open and honest with me, and have the same opportunity others were given to voice disagreement.

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
