A lot of what made J.S. Held a great place to work is going away. Capital investment firms are having a strong influence over operations and dismantling the superior culture and positive aspects of working at J.S. Held. Actual, measurable annual bonuses, which were part of the compensation package previously, have been arbitrarily removed in place of “discretionary” bonuses. The new “discretionary” annual bonus is a joke, and the “discretionary” considerations are not based upon objective, measurable performance standards.
