Pros

Had the opportunity to work with talented colleagues, which contributed to personal growth and learning.

Cons

My experience in the company involved a challenging work environment with unrealistic expectations and constant pressure to meet tight deadlines. Leadership fostered a climate of fear, making it difficult to speak up, and there was little room for error. The lack of proper training and excessive micromanagement added to the stress. The workload seemed disproportionate to the compensation, and there was a high turnover rate. Middle management was particularly problematic, as there was a lack of confidentiality during 1:1 meetings, with personal details shared without consent to upper management, contributing to a negative atmosphere and distrust.

Pros

Great team work from peers, very supportive group

Cons

The supervisor micro manages everything, is passive aggressive, intrusive and continually throws out micro aggressions.

Pros

It depends what office you're in, but most of the people who work at JCFS are very good people. There are only a handful that I didn't really connect with.

Cons

Low salary (although this is getting better), and a MOUNTAIN of unnecessary and redundant paperwork. The people who make the decisions aren't the ones affected by them. For example, a group of senior leadership decided that everyone should return to the office during quarantine. Not one of the people who made that decision needed to see people face to face to do their job. Same with the paperwork, there are dozens of forms for each client, and over-the-top documentation that most of the insurance companies we accept don't care about.
