Pros

The HR manager is extremely pleasant. One Sales Executive named Chris is going to make for a successful leader/manager, hopefully his abilities, professionalism, and skills won't be wasted at this organization long term. CEO is very interactive with employees. Free food and drinks, at the expense that there is nothing in range to drive to within your alloted lunch period (pro or con, you decide). Mike is an extremely knowledgble and effective mentor/leader. Nice building space.

Cons

While at the company, I maintained a convoluted opinion in regards to the organization's hierarchy structure. For example, as a combat veteran having served my country, due to multiple combat related medical injuries, I have disabled veterans plates on my vehicle. On my very first day at work, I parked in a handicapped parking space due to one of my combat related injuries. The CFO Shelly happened to be walking by as I got out of my vehicle. While walking to the building, she began to scold me for parking in the handicapped space without knowing my medical needs. Not employing this initial level of discrimination as a guaging measuring factor and glaring red flag was a drastic mistake. One particular manager micro managed so much, I had to leave notes on the desktop of my computer documenting times and durations on when and how long I went to the restroom just in case he walked by and noticed me gone from my station and inquired where I was once I was back. Work life balance is sub/par in relation to the sick/vacation days policy. Sales team undervalued and underappreciated. Prior to leaving, there was an incident where the Sales Executives that worked there prior to me coming onboard did not get paid there commission in some debacle. CFO. Micromanagement in every capacity. Short term job, not structured or geared if you're looking for a long term career with growth potential. These are just a few points on the laundry list of cons that were glaring to me before I made the mistake of fully committing and finally leaving for a better opportunity. Many of the dedicated, passionate, and hard working employees are just starting their working careers and have limited experience working for other organizations. With any other company, you receive the good with the bad and the ugly; all the bad and ugly I've still experienced with other companies at least prompted me to get out of this place ASAP.

Pros

Looking back now on my time at J2C, it is even more apparent to me that the issues stemmed from the company's management and the culture they perpetuate. Co-workers are mostly good (except for the ones who aspire to be "hustlers" like their grade-A role models) and there is at least a ping pong table? Sometimes the free lunch was nice but I really prefer making my own decisions for food.

Cons

Upper management lacks self-awareness to a degree that will make you question how they got this far in life. After literally witnessing two of the company's four officers sit in a conference room and argue like 4 year olds (in front of 10+ employees) because they wanted things done their own way, I realized that decisions were being made purely in regards to the immediate self-interest of the few who own the company. There are some drinkers of the kool-aid that will rant and rave about the company but for most of them, it's their first job out of college and they don't know any better or they've been there less than 3 months. This review will DEFINITELY be buried under a few 5 star reviews that are concocted by management in attempts to attract talent. They might throw a 4 star review in to make it seem more authentic. BOTTOM LINE: This company and the image it tries to project is misleading. You can work your behind off here but it won't get you anywhere unless you're telling managers how awesome they are and building them up while doing it. It is NOT profitable or sustainable and needs extreme changes in both upper and mid management to get off the failure express. Getting away from this company literally saved my career. Also, if you're a female - definitely do not work here. You will get zero respect unless you're willing to scare people into submission.
