Pros

Jacobs does offer GREAT PAY with decent benefits package also. A lot of growth and transfer potential with the company.

Cons

The purchase of Carter & Burgess, specifially the Retail Divsion was very challenging. Many left during this transition process. There is a "good ole boys" feel for sure, but if you are in with the crowd, you can soar high. If not, better move on quick, or get in with them quick.
