Pros

There are very competent managers in some positions in Operations. They like to hire and promote within, which is really good for the employees that work there. They are fairly flexible with people.

Cons

Not having competent management in all necessary areas (specifically IT). Some people are in positions they shouldn't be in. They are great people, and I have nothing against them personally, but they are there due to the Peter Principal, and that needs to change. They are outsourcing more and more, which is taking jobs away from the United States of America, which is really not good in my opinion.

Pros

Jabil is a very global and dynamic company, and provides exposure to a wide range of issues. Working at Jabil allows one to develop top-notch skills.

Cons

Jabil doesn't put much value in work/life balance. This may have been a workable equation when the company stock options were increasing in value, and people felt their contributions were leading toward a bigger, long-term reward, but with so many options under water now, it's more like a basic sweatshop. Also, the way the company has held Florida taxpayers hostage in order to squeeze ten of millions in tax incentives to stay in Florida is deplorable (see St. Petersburg Times, June / July 2008). Since business is down and Senior Management aren't getting additional comp through stock options, this is the approach they took to bolster the bottom line and line their pockets.
