Pros

So far, I have been paid on time in direct deposit.

Cons

Lack of willingness of others to collaborate. Just so much arrogance in IT, we have VP's that really don't do anything at all, directors and architects that just seem to get in the way. I guess managers approve timecards - unsure of the rest of their role. Accepted the job under the impression that this was the place to be in the south. However, anytime ideas are brought up comparing to Google or some other strong tech company the refrain is "We are not Google". Seems to be filled with those just collecting a paycheck - not really looking to improve the business, just doing the minimum and not creating any type of action that could cause others to have to learn and improve.

Pros

The best thing about working at JM is that I am not working at some of the other poor employers. There are some very strong benefits compared to other companies - mostly the bonus structure that is available to most employees.

Cons

Culture is not only getting worse but is essentially no different than many other places. Our marketing team certainly likes to position us like we are this utopian place to work but once you get in - its the same as any other large organization, with one large exception. The technology team here is very poor but still very front and center. In most companies, I have observed tech to be in the background and supporting the mission - here I see the "tech guys" constantly in meetings, communicating as if they were Aristotle, wearing tank tops in meetings, playing the guitar on the teams calls but at the end of the day - our stuff is still broke. I'm frankly very concerned about the lack of professionalism that is here - I guess this is due to the leadership (or in this case, lack of).

Real-life Squid game

Pros

pay and benefits, up until last year when the good bonuses stopped it was worth the pain

Cons

Now that the internal management team has realized that harming each other is more effective than actually performing to get promotions and power, anarchy has set it. Its devolved into a real-life squid game, you dont know which way the threat will come from. Its turned into more about what you look like than what you can contribute.
