Pros

JDK is a stand out company in the catering & events in central PA. They have the abilities to produce amazing events. I learned a lot professionally through out my years working here.

Cons

As a potential employee, JDK presents themselves as a wonderful team with a thriving culture in the work place. On the sales side, if you get through their unnecessarily extensive interview process, you'll quickly learn that this is not the case. There are high expectations set on you with minimal pay out. You will work 60+ hour workweeks consistently and will constantly feel underappreciated. In my experience, sales managers have proven to have a lack of knowledge on how to assist their team members and are quick to point the finger at you when difficulties or issues arise. One of their newest core value statements is "curiosity powers pure relationships". Ironically, when using your voice to speak out in curiously towards management decisions they felt threatened which fueled disingenuous relationships amongst team members creating an extremely toxic work environment. I watched this company change and evolve over time and was continuously disappointed & shocked with how unprofessional things are handled. There is a huge lack of transparency not only with employees but now clients. I would not be surprised if these actions lead them to their downfall.
