Pros

JMBA childcare center Summer hours Unique family history

Cons

I've watched really strong external talent come into this organization with aspirations to drive positive change and they have been completely stifled by the mentality that "we are doing it this way because we always have". This includes myself. Where I was once passionate about the work I did, coming to this company snuffed out any feeling of accomplishment or worth. Folks with close personal ties with senior leaders get the opportunity and thus the promotion. It's a game and completely disingenuous. I left this company feeling fatigued and sapped of passion.

Pros

You will not be bothered by people talking to you, benefits seem okay.

Cons

Don’t expect to be trained on anything. Management will expect you to figure things out on your own, request your own accesses and figure out what you need without any guidance. They’ll send people to you for questions on how to do stuff within your first couple days, not having taught you how to do those things.
