Company In Trouble

Pros

No pros with this company.

Cons

- The overall working environment is very difficult. There is a lot of, “finger pointing” resulting in a lot of work not getting done. Everyone believes it was someone else fault something was not completed or no one was working on it. The difficult thing is, this attitude is promoted from management most of the time. -The management is very young with no experience or guidance resulting in having no vision or drive for the company. Management has the mindset that, I am the boss and I call the shots. Most of the time devoted to the company by management is to drive drama or look to create problems so there is an excuse to use on why work is not getting done. A lot of time is spent dealing with internal issues due to this and not building the company. The company is kind of always in a, “scattered state” due to management. - You are not hired here for your expertise, you are hired to fall in line, even if this means failing on projects. Your ideas and opinions are not valued here, this is the type of company where credit is not given where credit is due. Team environment and working towards a common goal is not promoted well here. - The company does not look at employees as valuable assets. You are made very aware that you will be let go if management does not like you and they will find a way to get you out the door at all means necessary. If management sees you as a threat to them, you will be replaced. They are not looking to grow the company and see people succeed, they are more in fear for their jobs and lack the leadership trait in that sense. - Long hours are required every week. There is no work life balance. You are required to devote all your time of every day to the company. 60 hour work weeks are the minimum requirement with no end in sight or compensation given. - Pay is below average and raises are few and far between. - Working here will drain your life. I would not recommend working here no matter what stage you are at in your career. This company will sour your outlook on the industry.

Not Family Oriented

Pros

Lots of hours. LOTS of hours. If you want them, you got them. Good job for someone single looking to make a quick few bucks until they move on to the next thing. Not many full-time jobs close to home, so that is a perk.

Cons

Too many hours! You may notice reviews both glowing and begrudging. This is because JI has two plants in Washington and one in Utah. People love the Utah and one of the Washington is regarded as a fun, fast paced, enjoyable place to work. The other is everything but. Constantly you are under the microscope, afraid you may get fired at any moment, as people can be let go based on nothing but a grudge. Janicki talks about being family first, but this is rarely reality. The CEO enjoys giving these pep talks about how they care so much for the employees and how the priority of Janicki Industry is the employees and their families. Well get ready to work 50-60+ hours for the majority of the year. Your Saturdays are no longer yours, though you may only find out that fact on Friday afternoon, and vacations can be cancelled if it interferes with production. People are a necessary evil, and unfortunately for them, they have lives beyond the walls of the company. If you think that you will be able to put in your 40 and enjoy your days outside of work, this isn't the place for you.
