Pros
If you are a recruitment consultant and say yes to everything or you are a family member you should be fine in hiding here for at least 5 years.
Cons
During a reasonably lengthy sentence here are my balanced observations of this business: - it has no experience in delivering business change or technology transformation. - the business has one customer. The relationship is toxic and is plagued by discontent and under achievement. - Jumar think you can put on a show to potential customers by selling vapour ware. Once the deal has landed it’s a mad scramble to recruit contract capability to deliver upon false promises. To repeat there is no internal capability in delivering complex projects. - the business has zero direction, after the morning coffee is consumed the business spins the wheel of technology. Whatever the wheel lands on is what Jumar will be an expert in for that day! - If you are Male between the ages of 30 and 55 prepare for hell. In Jumar’s eyes you are sub human and I continually witnessed sexism, ageism and derogatory comments to this category of employee. If you have a beard, happen to have a traditional English accent or wear seasonal attire you will be hated and persecuted. - the management of performance is non existent. The first port of call for under achievement is to fire that person, even if that person reports to the line manager doing the firing that should be providing support and guidance which you’ve guessed it is also non-existent. - To sell in Jumar is to tell everyone that you have been to a pointless networking event that will yield zero contribution. I’ve never witnessed so many naff events attended that offer no value at all. It’s a convenient way of hiding for everyone including the top. - Technology sales people have to work with recruitment consultants who’s aim is it is to flog contract staff into your accounts to deliver projects. . . Wait a minute . . . Doh! Should you raise the potential conflict that you might be selling against your own business you will be perceived as unreasonable. - the commission terms and conditions consist of a post it note stating we will look after you. . . We promise. I could go on but I think the picture is pretty clear Jumar is not a solutions or technology business in any way shape or form. I hope the business sticks to its core and steers away from pretending it can ever be one. If it can’t do that then perhaps you could start to treat people with respect at the very least. Any technology sales people unlucky enough to be going into interview in the worst business park in the UK, make sure you qualify who these so called customers are, what has been achieved and how it was delivered - if you get any other answer apart from zero it’s lies.
