Pros

There are no pros for Jacobs.

Cons

Health Ins. is the cheapest plan they could find, MA health is a better plan than the plan they provide. Don't be fooled, Sick Time isn't really provided for it's employees. Sick time is actually time taken from your earned PTO time. Regardless of whether or not a state of emergency has been issued during winter months Jacobs remains open and you have to use your PTO in order to not go into work and still get paid. They only give the four major holidays off that they are required by law to give. While I applaud Jacobs for wanting to improve and empower the women that work at Jacobs, it should not however be a required that you must be a mentor or a mentee. I have no desire to become either.
