Pros

The only pro about working at Jive Communications is the health insurance and the annual retreat.

Cons

Some of the managers are the most arrogant people I have ever met. I Was the youngest employee in my department and was treated with such disrespect. The manager of my department was extremely bias towards a few employee's since they were BEST friends and in the same Church Ward. If you're not a Mormon, there is a good chance you won't last very long. This manager wanted a yes man, not someone who gives good advice and can help the team advance. It is more than okay to miss work if you have a headache or have to get your kids from work. But if you need to leave for a medical emergency, you're docked pay, or have to bring in FMLA paperwork. the manager should be fired. I ABSOLUTELY HATED WORKING FOR JIVE COMMUNICATIONS. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND JIVE TO ANYONE UNLESS YOU'RE IN SALES.

Pros

There were a lot of good, hard-working people at Jive. Jive was also very good at giving people chances and opportunities to grow. I was able to transition to the Development dept. as a junior despite not having any previous professional coding experience under my belt at the time. The benefits are definitely a plus.

Cons

Many of the good, hard-working people at Jive were let go without any real notice. Jive continues trying to push forward with new platforms and features without getting what they have fully stable. While working in Tech Support, we were constantly having to talk with extremely angry customers who were upset due to the constant disruptions in service. It all could have been avoided if Jive had slowed down enough to get their feet under them again instead of focusing on continually doubling their revenue every year. Many other poor executive decisions have been made, including letting go the entire UA team. Poor decision making, training and lack of communication are Jive's biggest problems. When I was the quality assurance over Technical Solutions, I was constantly being told different things by different supervisors. When trying to ask for further guidance or help on instructing the techs about all the new policies and procedures, I would get vague answers, when management would even respond to my questions at all.
