Pros

Direct management onboarding and training support. Being able to visit local facilities to see vehicles in action. Hybrid work structure. Friendly and helpful employees

Cons

Being asked to make final decision early on without fully understanding the assignment due to lack of JBT work experience. The good thing is that I have had support from segment team members and direct management. The knowledge will come.
