Pros

There really are currently no pros. Company benefits and pay are declining each year

Cons

No salary raises for 3 years. Did receive a 12.5% pay REDUCTION. All in the name of winning a contract. No training money available for certifications

Pros

Salary was outstanding! 4/10 schedule was okay, too. Would have been nicer if we would have been given a choice though.

Cons

People are unwilling to help new comers. Everything is a secret...everyone keeps everything to themselves making it very difficult for new comers to successfully get onboarded. It took myself and a fellow co-worker one week before we could make long distance calls...and we were working closely with another office in another state! A very backstabbing, backbiting company.

Pros

The gifts are your yearly raises, But I no longer work here I lefted and found another job If you going to work for Jacobs don't let it be at Ford APTL

Cons

The Jacobs Supervisor has no clue what goes on at the times hes not in the lab. One of the workers made sexual contact with a female that work there HR got involved, they didn't do nothing about it. He still has a job there. Ford doesn't like Jacobs, so Jacobs workers are treated terrible.
