Productive and Fun workplace

Maintenance Technician (Current Employee) - Knoxville, TN - May 17, 2022

JAI is an excellent place to work. I worked as a handyman doing the maintenance for +7 stores. Stick with this company and you will not be disappointed!Pro's -pay is great and get make my own scheduleCon's - they're still getting the bugs worked out from transitioning over from JAE to JAI (not a big deal as they were still able to keep me busy during that time)

Decent pay and could be a fun a environment to work in, but it isnt.

Wendy's Crew Member (Former Employee) - Knoxville, TN - December 25, 2021

Hiring process was smooth. Hired same day as interview. Pay is decent.The management leaves a lot to be desired. Favoritism is very recognizable. Communication is next to none/(unless you're a favorite of course). Must be a scheduling nightmare for whoever makes the weekly.Would mot recommend applying for any position.

Pros

Decent pay, good food

Cons

The most unorganized management I've ever seen.

Good company to work for. You need to have a good attitude. You should be a team player. You should know how to deal with customers. Your desire should be to satisfy the customers.

Pros

Reduce cost for purchases.

Cons

Short breaks

Best employer and treated like family

Manager (Current Employee) - Pompano Beach, FL - August 5, 2020

You are treated like family at JAE. Growth and development opportunities are encouraged and you feel supported and that your voice matters no matter what challenges may come up. JAE treats their employees fairly and with respect. I have referred many friends for employment opportunities here. It’s not just a job but a career and the company takes an active interest in providing you with the tools and experience needed for advancement. CEO has open door policy and makes time for employees no matter what level they work.

Pros

A fun family oriented culture with a lot of opportunities for advancement.

I was fired for having asthma and not being able to breathe in a mask. I know a couple others who were fired after years of dedication to their jobs!

Shift Manager (Former Employee) - Knoxville, TN - June 30, 2020

Do not work there!! It's a very stressful underpaid place to be employed and if you do not fit into their "in crowd" you will be fired. You will also be expected to do other people's jobs if they are too lazy to do it on their own. I was run ragged and was constantly upset with my work environment. I'm glad I did get fired because I'm too loyal and wouldn't have left. My whole family was grateful when they let me go and my kids even thought that job was toxic for me. I came home everyday mad or upset because of my working conditions. I even vomited on myself and was still forced to stay.

Pros

nothing

Cons

no breaks, doing others jobs, anxiety and anger, bad moral altogether

Great

Assistant Store Manager (Former Employee) - Santa Fe, NM - March 7, 2020

It’s hard at first but you get so used to it so fast and that becomes muscle memory it’s is easy after that. They moved me up very fast within two years I was a GM from a regular crew person.

Great for a first job

Crew (Former Employee) - Davenport, FL - February 26, 2020

Great for a first job and to gain the experience. Fast paced work, little training, space to learn on new positions around the store. If you like to work under little or no supervision this is the work for you

Bad working conditions. Bunch of liars.

Restaurant Manager (Former Employee) - Miami, FL - February 13, 2020

Go work for anyone else any where. These people lie and cheat at anything they can. Total lack of integrity and intestinal fortitude from the company representatives. FILTHY STORES. Treat their people like trash. Buildings are trash.

Work out here has been a long journey

Crew Member (Current Employee) - Clermont, FL - February 3, 2020

Working here has been a long journey because throughout the three years that I’ve been working here I’ve learned so much from different types of people that I’ve worked with and even though I’ve worked there for so long I’ve learned a couple of new things throughout the years. Also communication is key.

Good

Cashier (Former Employee) - Athens, TN - October 4, 2019

It was a decent place to work at. Pay was good depending in your hours. Then only thing I didnt like about working there was they made one person do all the work while the managers stood there and talked most of the time instead of being leaders and helping.

It was okay

Wendy's Crew Member (Former Employee) - Fort Lauderdale, FL - September 30, 2019

It was okay, really only worked there just to get some work experience. Nice people there though and there was a sense of togetherness. The one bad thing is that lack of cleanliness.

Pros

Strong work bond

Cons

Kind of dirty, no real work pride

Amazing for gaining work experience

Shift Manager (Current Employee) - Albuquerque, NM - September 23, 2019

There is quite a lot this job can teach you, and many of the staff there are very relatable and hard working people. Time takes its toll however, as it is a very tedious and exhausting job. 10/10 for hard workers maybe a 5/10 if you’re looking for an easy part time job.

Pros

The people, experience, work culture

Cons

High turnover, exhausting shifts
