Business Outlook
Pros
Jacobs has a strong emphasis on employee safety, stemming from an incident where a number of employees were killed in an oil refinery explosion in Texas. The management itself is not overbearing, but works to the customer's schedules and organization.
Cons
Some companies have a dark side in which they rely on enforcers to do their dirty work and keep subordinates in fear, keeping the executives' hands clean. It preserves their reputation as gentlemen. They are very quick to fire. Jacobs also does not pay for relocation expenses, and their raises are paltry across the board.
