Pros

Was hybrid with 1-day in office. Office was really nice. They provided free food.

Cons

Micro-managing like no other. Impossible to understand assignments and or be on the same page as supervisor. EVERYONE is related to each other in one way or another. Normally this would not be an issue, but there is no upwards progression unless you were a family or family-adjacent. Necessary processes for bonus eligibility, such as performance reviews, were inconsistent, unclear, and sloppy. Awful work life balance and your managers ensure to pass off their bad mood to you. The worst communication practices. Job role and duties are completely unusable if you are attempting to move out of Forensic Economics. Their HR is despicable and not there to help their employees.

As with any professional environment, feedback is essential. Team members have access to multiple avenues to raise concerns including having open dialogue with their managers, reporting through our secure and anonymous ethics and compliance hotline located on the intranet homepage, emailing HR@jsheld.com, and reporting through other formal avenues so that each scenario can be reviewed, and team members feel heard and supported.
