Pros

Benefits are best in SoFL, some seriously talented people, comp is unrivaled EMT is amazing, they know how to run a business!

Cons

Middle management is lacking in true leadership, consistently looking for others to tell them what to do. There are only a very small handful in IT that actually have decision making authority. Culture is very much like a ‘brogrammer’ frat house. The long term leaders have full authority without any accountability. There are very few actual effective leaders and the rest tend to be very threatened by others that are competent and effective. As a result they ‘rule’ by fear and just expect people to get in line - no real thinking is encouraged. The term that is used is ‘gravity’ - things just are what they are.

Pros

JM provides good opportunities for the range of professional corporate occupations available in South Florida.

Cons

Too much "get along, go along" culture which may be okay if one is planning to stay with JM through retirement, but is not helpful if one's career progression involves employment with other companies. As a rule, the best places I worked at encouraged creativity, systems thinking, adaptability, integrity, and trust. These values felt lacking during my six-month tenure at JM back in 2014.
