Pros
-Is a job and does provide a paycheck. -Monument coworkers (anyone not in management) is cool.
Cons
Poor management, specifically at the Monument, CO site and across the North American Healthcare sector. List that follows is non-exhaustive: -Non-competitive compensation, management is explicitly unwilling to keep up with inflation and is known to undercut reviews to keep raises down. - Priorities constantly shift for engineering projects. You'll spend lots of time and effort on a task only to be pulled to something else, or be forced to rush completion at the last minute to the detriment of project quality and sometimes FDA/regulatory compliance. -Chronic understaffing due to excessive turnover and seemingly no effort to keep pace by backfilling lost engineers. -Site leadership is full of yes-men who don't really understand how production and engineering support gets done. -Site leadership cares so much about KPIs that they ignore the humans who work for them and do not actually listen to legitimate concerns about the challenges of working for Jabil. -High management turnover. You likely will not have the same boss for more than a year. It is common to have multiple bosses within a 12 month span. -The CEO is paid millions of bucks every year along with his friends on top of the company while his employees can barely scrape by in the cities where they work. He's greedy and cares only for the stock price at the end of the day. He philanthro-washes his image and then ignores his employees' needs. -Equipment on the shop floor is mostly outdated - we're talking several decades old for many important machines that make important surgical tools. Jabil drags its feet on being caught up to industry standard for technology. This also is burdensome when engineers have to maintain old tech instead of working on projects. -The current engineering manager has pushed to not higher new engineers, but instead to higher fresh college grads with engineering degrees to be 'engineering techs'. This is clearly a strategy to cheapen wages/salaries for the same work, and it backfires since many of these young workers have no reason to stay after a year.
