Jabil Circuit Sdn Bhd Employee Reviews & Ratings

Workload driven by the customer. Only a con if you dont grasp contract manufacturing.

You will get backlash for your mistake very easily

The pay is so terrible

bad culture promotion , nepotism can be bad ,

Run from this place as fast as you can if you want to spare yourself a lot of pain… figuratively and literally. I worked at this facility for a number of years. A brief history… this plant was a Depuy Synthes / Johnson & Johnson facility until it became a Jabil plant in April 2019. The site still manufactures J&J medical implants, but the employees work for Jabil. When the company changed hands, the employee perks and benefits got significantly worse. A lot of people jumped ship. To incentivize people to stay, they came up with a plan that let people keep their J&J benefits and benefit rates, but only for 18 months, which resulted in a second wave of people quitting. The result was a mixed workforce where two people would have the same title but massive differences in their benefit costs, PTO banks, etc., simply because of when their start date was. I was a lucky one that transitioned and I felt guilty having a gifted PTO bank while my equivalents had none. They also laid off a ton of temps during COVID, so a lot of the workforce now is very green. Management gets upset when newer employees make scrap parts, but it happens all the time because the training is inadequate. The people here are mostly wonderful, but everything is wrong about the plant. The pay here is absolutely not competitive and they have struggled to get new employees because everyone wants to work for Corning down the road and get paid far more. Promotions are very difficult to secure and the company is completely inconsistent about how they give them (I saw amazing operators who didn’t get to the 3 level for 15+ years). Jabil Elmira has no meaningful employee recognition program and people who work unbelievably hard are not recognized. They tried creating one in the form of awarding people raffle tickets for door prizes for good work. It’s a joke and completely inadequate. I have never felt less valued as an employee in my career as when I was here. The plant is an ergonomic nightmare with repetitive motions, unsafe body positioning, and strains everywhere. They had a nurse and an ergo engineer at one time… I watched as they both left and weren’t replaced. Management gives this issue almost no attention because they are completely focused on making money and chasing every individual piece of scrap. I developed musculoskeletal problems after 6 months here (I no longer work there and still have them) and during my first doctor visit he said “we get a lot of people from your plant”. Do yourself a favor, spare yourself the toxic culture and the physical and mental anguish and find a better career elsewhere.

If you get hurt, they fire you without cause, no matter your role or tenure. Long hours, power-hungry HR, zero concern for workers.

High turn around of employees

Low salary increment, low fresh graduate's salary

nothing that i can think of now

Pay is too low

Extremely dynamic - exec level plans change far too often. Global model means someone is always working somewhere and work life balance is difficult.

Demanding workload and high expectations from client

Politics. Work Life Balance. Career path. Unprofessional environment. All depends on who you work for, the department you are in and if you are part of 'the club'.

Salary is not competitive in your position

very top down, kind of military organization for little room to challenge Sr. Management. Very political in the promotion process

EMS company with huge workload

Merit increases are not always guaranteed no matter how profitable your facility is. In order to get more than the max percentage awarded you basically take percentages from your coworkers, which sucks because they could also be just as deserving.

More parking lot is needed.

Unstable work sector with many lay-off cycles and employee turn-overs. Does not embrace "work from home" business model. Corporate HQ pushes C procedures and forced compliance to standards that do not apply to the business sector of individual sites. For example - PCBA procedures and standards at a mechanical machine shop that has nothing to do with PCBA. Force compliance to use unnecessary software to solve problems that do not exist at the individual sites.

While leaving the company they are very formal. Treat as enemy.

Disorganized, poor training, sweat shop

-Needs more planning in the facilities department

Sometimes the fast pace can lead to conflicting priorities.

They only make investments based on ultra short payback periods. It seems that they do not really care too much about the hourly workers which troubles me.

If you're someone who needs punch in / punch out 9-5 this May not be for you. While portions of the company may exist this way, the core is focused on individuals driving results by their own volition.

This site being an acquisition is not yet on board with the value of Jabil's corporate business model and leadership style.

not enough people to make work load reasonable

High turnover rate which results in low employee moral. This may stem from overworked employees who have had increased workloads and responsibilities due to a lack of an active or trained workforce. New employees are not immune. They suffer from low morale as they struggle learning new job duties and procedures

non that I have experienced recently.

Undefined program of the internship Repetitive tasks

A little too much micromanagement.

lack of training and support

It is like working in a sweatshop. The managers are clueless and the place is full of no talent people

Lots of pressure on the work.

Not much space to work. Salary leveling hasn't happened since 2019.

The fast-paced environment could sometimes feel overwhelming. Some projects were more observational rather than hands-on. At times, clearer direction and structured guidance would have been helpful. Some tasks felt repetitive rather than challenging. Exposure to more significant initiatives was somewhat limited.

Convoluted process and long hours

Breaks not long enough to eat food

Very unorganized at times, low pay, if you are working in inventory control they only hire through staffing agencies and there is no timeframe of how long you Will be a temp I've heard of taking over a year, no accountability.

Inappropriate payment, overloading, luck of the career's development

Heavy work load Complicated customer network

work overload, customer with over demand

The only bad part about working here is if your not used to being on your feet for 12 hours a day/night.

The management clearly picks favorites. They allow their special favorites to do whatever they want and yell at other for doing the same things. Several of the male managers and leads are absolute perverts who prey on the women that are under them. It's disgusting and it's obvious that sexual favors are traded for prime positions or better treatment. Of course none of the actual bad behavior seems to be caught on cameras even though we are told they're always watching. Employees who do nothing but stir up trouble get away with it everyday.

High pressure , toxic , no improvement

very low increments, no other cons

Management Gaps: Leadership often feels out of touch with the day-to-day operations. • Work Culture: High turnover in leadership roles creates a lack of stability for the rest of the team.

Working hours may depend on which section you belong, expected to be on standby during nighttime due to 24 hours production. Certain departments may be toxic which impact your work progress.

Limited as to what you may adjust in order to improve the machinery, lack of engagement by upper management.

No work life balance need ot
