Pros
There’s was nothing good about this job.
Cons
I worked at Jenkins Restorations for over a year, and I am relieved to have moved on. When I joined, the role and work environment were not accurately represented, and it quickly became clear that the expectations were very different from what was initially communicated.
Over time, there was significant turnover within my department, and the workload increased substantially. Long hours became common, sometimes extending well beyond a standard workday in order to keep operations running. Despite these efforts, recognition, compensation adjustments, or incentives were not provided to reflect the level of contribution required.
The department often carried a heavy burden of responsibility, and there was a consistent pressure to meet expectations without the necessary support, training, or resources. Communication and collaboration across teams were not always aligned, which made it difficult to maintain efficiency and accuracy.
When new management was introduced, there were expectations of improved support and structure. However, the environment remained challenging, with increased oversight but limited guidance or development. This created additional pressure without addressing the underlying workload concerns.
Ultimately, I made the decision to leave due to the overall impact the role was having on my well-being and the lack of a sustainable path forward.
This may be a fit for individuals who are comfortable working in a high-pressure environment with evolving expectations. However, those looking for strong support, clear communication, and work-life balance may find it challenging. Candidates should carefully consider whether they are comfortable working in an environment where expectations may exceed available support and resources.
