Pros

Good pay, good learning experience for an entry level worker. Careful of the layoffs.

Cons

Not much room for growth. Hours are terrible. You excel and.you get more responsibility with same pay. Full of broken promises. New management believes higher in the degree's they are currently hiring instead of the workforce, the ones that matter.

Pros

As a field service engineer you will get to travel to places you might have otherwise never visited. Acquiring hotel points, airline miles, and rental credits are a nice perk. The product is leading edge technology and there are a lot of engineering fields that a field service engineer will be exposed to giving them the opportunity to learn what fields they enjoy working in most.

Cons

The company struggles to help its employees maintain a good work life balance. Often times, management makes short-term decisions as opposed to investing in the long-term growth of their employees. Unlike most salaried positions, JBT Automated Systems treated its field service engineers as if they were hourly; if you work over 40 hours by end of day Thursday, you are still expected to put in at least 8 hours on Friday. Oh and by the way, since you are salaried you will only earn your base rate which is based on 40 hours/week. Don't force your engineers to travel when they live with family members who are AT RISK. I had several close family members who were diagnosed with COVID and one of which was hospitalized because of it. When I approached the company about my concerns with the travel portion of the role I was asked to submit my resignation.
