Pros

Good pay, decent benefits, "get-it-done" attitude is encouraged and rewarded (although you may find you have to violate SOP's to get-it-done. Friday afternoon socials on site after work are a good internal networking venue.

Cons

Aggressive cut-backs when business cycles dip, even if your group is busy. No one seems to know all the rules and SOP's and they are not readily available or easily searched. Long hours when dealing with European and Asian divisions on crash programs. Twelve hour days are not uncommon.

Pros

The pay is outstanding & benefits are as well. You can build a strong skillset by learning from your co-workers. People are fairly professional at the corporate office. I enjoyed the majority of the people at the company, and can be opportunity for global travel. Work hours are flexible, and they give you the opportunity to work from home occasionally. You can advance if you do it on your own.

Cons

Jabil definitely has a culture that promotes the 'good old boy' network. Women will rarely find advancement, unless they are hired into a leadership role. If you want to advance, you have to seize opportunities yourself; no manager will let a good employee go easily, and they definitely don't focus on your career path. Some of the employees are crass, cut-throat, and rude, but management tolerates those individuals. They downsize their workforce any time business hits a bump. There is no job security at that place and reductions are extremely arbitrary.
