Jimmy John's Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Everybody tries to help eachother, nobody is left out to dry

The emplyees i work with. I love the work pace and that everyone trys to set eachother up. The negstive part comes when the Gm never sets shifts up. I was just assistant Gm it left everyone futrates always trying to catch up when the Gm should be the best worker.

Family environment feels good and want to come there

Review from Customer Success Dept

The customers are respectful to me

The customers are a lot of times nice to us the work environment is great some could use some adjusting other then that we have fun at work

When yhe owner isn't hovering over us with negative comments

When things are done properly with your tips. The work environment can be delighted.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Everyone is willing to carry conversation and tolorate each other.

The immediate team that I work with. The owner that we have.

Review from Sales Dept

It's clean fast pace and inviting.

The most positive thing is the GM, he is great and very supportive of the staff.

The people I work make it worthwhile.

The fact that my coworkers try to be helpful to one another.

The people can be cool

That all inshopper build eachother up, taking initiative to teach one another. Managers are power hungry vultures for hours and unfair wages they didn't earn, but merited off the backs of their subordinates

Very dude bro enviorment that has no drama or at least very few

As a team we all get along

the attitude that everyone brings to the comany

Review from Sales Dept

The Workers and crowd are very thankful!

The bond between coworkers is the most positive

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Accountability with the owners and upper management. Effective communication. Actual training.

Follow policies and procedures set forth by company

Work/lifs balance. The office has it not the field team

Review from Operations Dept

There needs to be a mandated training course for new employees rather than hoping they will learn on the job as well as sensitivity training.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Start by paying your employees a living wage. Next start a fund for driver tires. Then start giving regular raises. Then stop taking away manager bonuses when something vital breaks like the oven or heater or cold table.

Review from Sales Dept

Everything on the management level

Review from Sales Dept

management needs to become better and corporate needs to care how their stores are being run

Review from Product Dept

We need more people to work and we need more effective people

Review from Engineering Dept

Hire peoplewho actaully want to work and do theirjob correctly

They’re heading in a better direction with more lax rules about self expression, but when management doesn’t help up front things get hard

Review from Product Dept

Probably needs to loosen lesser important laws like having your shirt tucked in during an audit and the no phone rule, and really start looking at the integrity of the people they hire to be managers or general managers especially

Review from Customer Support Dept

They need to start caring more about their employees
