Vantaggi
The CEO has a beach house, and during the summer he is not there as often. My experience made me appreciate a good boss, and better to handle small stressers in my new job, because my best day at JRW was still equivalent to my worst day at every other job I have had. They do somehow attract great, talented, people that most of the time are great to work with, however, the good ones don't stay for long because they realize they can do better (which is true).
Svantaggi
INSANE CEO. If he messes up, he places blame elsewhere. If an employee messes up the smallest thing, he rants on and on and makes an example of them in front of the whole company. The only weeks that didn't involve him SCREAMING to someone for no reason were the weeks he was on vacation or at a conference. He insists on meetings after meetings that are pointless and doesn't understand when something he asks you to do takes longer than he thinks it should. He is so computer illiterate that he can't even type, and therefore believes anything computer related should take no longer than 1 hour. Extremely strict on PTO, and even if you have nothing to do insists you stay until 5:00. I personally felt like I wasted every second there, and woke up with panic attacks during my time there, even when I have no history of that. The whole family works there, and preferential treatment is extremely obvious to his son and daughter. I would not recommend this place as a workplace OR as an employee benefit firm. They say they are experts in employee benefits, but do not understand that employees really just want to be respected and praised (and awarded) when they do well.
