Pros

JS Held is a company that puts its people first. They understand work life balance and are very willing to help people grow their careers. They give their employees the tools they need to succeed! Our company was acquired by JS Held in 2021. The on boarding process can get overwhelming, but JS Held leadership helped with the transition and continuously checked in to make sure we were getting everything we needed. JS Held offers great benefits for working families: options to telework when children are ill, paid maternity leave, mentorship programs, and opportunities to learn something new!

Cons

Training can be a bit overwhelming when trying to keep up with a case load at the same time.

Pros

Was hybrid with 1-day in office. Office was really nice. They provided free food.

Cons

Micro-managing like no other. Impossible to understand assignments and or be on the same page as supervisor. EVERYONE is related to each other in one way or another. Normally this would not be an issue, but there is no upwards progression unless you were a family or family-adjacent. Necessary processes for bonus eligibility, such as performance reviews, were inconsistent, unclear, and sloppy. Awful work life balance and your managers ensure to pass off their bad mood to you. The worst communication practices. Job role and duties are completely unusable if you are attempting to move out of Forensic Economics. Their HR is despicable and not there to help their employees.
