What is the hiring process like at JAS Worldwide?

Good benefits, decent starting salary, easy interview process

Coworkers, PTO, workplace culture, understaffed

The office is only 10 minutes from where I live.

Unfortunately, all the negative reviews on this site about this organization are accurate. The positive reviews appear to be created by the company to maintain a higher rating. Years of harassment, bad actors, and discrimination have created an environment where no one cares anymore. Teamwork is nonexistent, and the workplace has become toxic, with employees constantly trying to undermine one another. This behavior originates from the top, with poor management and ineffective leaders setting the tone. The new USA CEO and COO are unfit for their roles and have promoted friends to higher positions as if this were a social club. This has shattered the confidence of employees who were hoping for real change. When unqualified individuals are promoted, it drives away talented and dedicated employees. HR routinely asks employees to participate in "confidential" surveys but reportedly uses the feedback to retaliate against those who voice complaints. As a result, employees no longer trust HR. The Global CEO's broken promise that “JAS is not laying off anyone” further eroded trust when layoffs did occur. Employees now feel no sense of loyalty and are less enthusiastic about being part of the company's culture. Toxic leadership and internal strife have damaged the company's culture to the point where it struggles to hold things together. Desperation to hire new staff is evident, but the focus is misplaced. Newly promoted individuals often lack the necessary experience, exacerbating problems rather than solving them. Instead of hiring operational employees to ease workloads, the company continues to hire managers and VPs who contribute little but bullying and intimidation. Employees are burned out and leave as soon as they find other opportunities. Working here is extremely stressful. Management relies on intimidation and pressure to achieve results, but this approach has backfired. Employees are angry, frustrated, and unwilling to help one another. Trust is nonexistent, secrecy is pervasive, and processes are poorly managed. The expectations for salespeople are unrealistic, compounded by insufficient operational support, making it nearly impossible to close deals. Rather than fostering collaboration, the culture pits everyone against one another. I would not recommend JAS to anyone, anywhere. If you have other opportunities, take them. Many new employees report feeling deeply disappointed within weeks of joining the company.

International team, great place to learn and grow

Lack of a proper onboarding and actual support.

unfortunately, there are not many good things happening right now.

It’s unbelievable how JAS treats their employees, yet they still get away with it. The new HR director is playing it safe and going along with all the abuse this company heaps onto people. Salespeople are told not to travel due to budget issues, yet they’re still expected to grow the business. On top of that, they don’t have access to sales data and are being cheated out of their commissions. The CEO, COO, VPs, directors, and even branch managers all travel (no budget issues there) just to hide from their responsibilities. They are hanging out, dining out and call that work, while everyone else is put through the hell. There are so many meetings that people join, just to use that as an excuse for not being available and productive. Meaningless meetings to talk about the next meeting. In the USA, they’ve just reshuffled and promoted inexperienced people to CEO, COO, and VP positions. This is because the EVP of America, who’s been there for too long, is promoting his own circle. The people who have been promoted into these roles have never held positions with that level of responsibility and are destroying the company culture but playing it cool. Everyone is noticing this and people don’t respect them due to their attitude and the lies they’ve told. Thought road for this group and it may take years for people to trust them but by then, the business is destroyed. If you speak up, you’re doomed and guaranteed to be fired. It’s a very tough position, and everyone is stressed out but cannot talk about what bothers them. Good people are dropping and leaving every month, sad to see. The company is trying to hire temps because they don’t want to pay people with experience. This is a bizarre environment. Don’t do this to yourself. Please help spread the word.

The job was easy to get as I was hired by a staffing agency who was working for them. The schedule is flexible and it works for people. The job was pretty simple and easy. Picking and packing orders in a warehouse environment.

Poor communication with the recruiters and the management of this company. Management does play favorites and they treat certain people differently. They are quick to get rid of people even if it is their first week on the job. No warning or any writeups whatsoever. Job security is non existent at this place and if you have bills to pay or a family to provide for then please look elsewhere.
