Advice for Anyone Applying for Upper Management or Sales

Pros

Very good health insurance This can be a good place to start a career. You can learn a lot about logistics and the infrastructure of a large company. You won't make much money starting out here. Some of the upper management is paid very well and everyone else makes nothing. There are some great people who work there.

Cons

You'll be promised everything you want to hear in the interview, but when it comes down to it they are all empty promises. It's basically impossible to accomplish your job between the upper management who does things the way they've always done them and the penny pinching on marketing and traveling budgets. I'm still blown away at how much of my travel was not approved to meet with retailers. But when you do travel, you'll get the worst flights. The good part is... they don't necessarily care if you do a good job. Things change so frequently it's difficult to actually quantify anything. The people who have been there the longest survive by not ruffling feathers. Majority of upper management is paid well, this also makes them very protective of their positions. Make sure to negotiate a high starting salary, raises only happen once a year and they are minimal. The company also has an "Everyone is Replaceable" attitude. I watched several co-workers receive offers from other companies. They would ask if JLA could match or even come close. The answer every time was no. These were very valuable employees that were tough to replace because they had been with the company for multiple years. They were some of the few people in middle management, IT, and marketing that really held the place together and built good systems and processes. If you're in upper management you should definitely include severance in your contract as the company's policy is: no severance. Also, look at the graph of the company rating. They posted false reviews to bump it up, you'll see the curve. If for some reason you are thinking about taking a position with JLA. Take a good look at the main offices, kitchen, bathrooms, storage areas... And ask yourself, does look and feel like a productive work space, or does it feel like a company trying to save every penny. It's a reflection of how you will be treated.
