Great Company and Teamwork

Operations manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great company in terms of vision and values that are cascaded from the top. Dedicated branch teams which go the extra mile with desire to be succeed for each other.

Cons

Lack of meaningful strategies - lots of political box ticking exercises to meet targets and satisfy shareholders. Internally focused to the detriment of customer service. In the US JC can operate on the basis they are a well known brand, here in the UK market this approach is seen as arrogance as we are certainly not the big players our prices suggest.

Opportunities for advancement if you are willing to travel. Good benefits for continious education.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations. Forget about work life balance. Leadership is completely disconnected from the plants. Onboarding is very poor and people are left to figure it out.
