Cons
Where do I begin? The owners of Jacobus Energy are two brothers who inherited the company from their father. I never met him, but I assume he knew something about business, as his company thrived at one time. Unfortunately, his sons are not business-savy, care nothing of their employees, and base most of their business decisions on the opinion of those they like going out drinking with or have personal relationships with (who are underqualified and put the company at risk). I went into the organization sipping their kool-aid and expected to make a difference and left the organization wondering how I spent the time I had there. The owners only care about making money and care nothing of their “team members”. There are three types of employees at the organization: Those that feel they are stuck there (for their own personal reasons); those that have been there forever and long threw in the towel and are biding their time until retirement; and those that realize they can do very little for their pay and are probably under qualified for their roles. All talented leaders have resigned or been terminated as they attempted to make real change in the organization. I have never truly dreaded going to work but I did dread it every day until it started to affect my life outside of work. Their systems didn’t work correctly, their billing didn’t work and coupled with incompetency they were losing money in all areas.
