Pros

Some good reasons for working at JBT include fair pay, benefits, 401k, and perhaps specific to my case, an excellent supervisor. JBT is a large, publicly traded, global company, but the business units are much smaller. It feels more like working for a small to medium-size company since there is little interaction between business units. (Unless you are a corporate HQ employee.) The down-side, it's harder to get promoted or move between divisions.

Cons

For years, the company has NOT been investing in R&D and new technology, some key patents have expired. As a result, some product lines have suffered and competitors have been eating away at market share with lower priced equipment that offer nearly the same features and benefits. It's hard to see the company lose it's market dominance, but it still is the best in several area. Service and support is a bright spot. JBT is big and is buying its way into new markets through acquisitions, another bright spot.

Pros

Income. And that is it.

Cons

- employees moral comes last - all about sales and not the people. - HR is all about open enrollment, and employee comittee functions. That's it. Keep managers from promoting, giving raises, basically anything positive. They never have answers for any questions. Will tell you they will get back to you and - if there is a sales mistake expect a pay cut by all, and a few layoffs to make the numbers look good for HQ. - they hate change. If you have a good idea keep it to yourself. They only listen if you work outside the company. Then they will pay millions for your advice or improvements. - if you just want a good check and can handle sometime stressful work, with moderate tools to get your work done. ... this is your place
