Pros

Excellent place to gain industry experience. Exposure to clients( i.e. networking). This gave me the ability to increase my salary by nearly 30% when I left. Great work life balance at the alliance I worked at. Safety culture is second to none. High employee turn over rate yielded opportunity for increased responsibility. My alliance manager, discipline manager, and co-workers were top notch. Up to date on technology.

Cons

Benefits are awful. I paid over $9k out of pocket for a dependents broken arm on top of an expensive premium. Annual raises were dispersed evenly over department. If I'm a top performer; show me the money! High employee turn over rate sometimes effects project completion efficiency.

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.
