Pros

The actual company is good to its staff. Working on the airforce base is restricted to 6am to 6pm and weekdays only. So no "surprise" overtime.

Cons

Work was on an airforce base, and military and civilian gov workers can be abusive. Worse, if they're having a bad day, or skittish about defense budget cuts, your job can be "defunded" at the drop of a hat.

Pros

Love the culture and the people.

Cons

The health insurance no longer covers GLP-1 or other weight-loss related medications (specifically excludes them), which I find appalling. They did cover it, but then removed coverage for all company plans. The benefits of weight-loss and obesity-related medical coverage are so high for employers and yet Jacobs decided not to care about their employees who need them.
