Just another number

Pros

You get paid for your work, so you can pay the bills.

Cons

This company claims to care about you, but you're just another number to them. They will say and do anything they can to build up the company, lying isn't beneath them. The fact that there is a review saying the company laid off employees because they didn't work well with others, and had performance issues speaks volumes. I know in one of their company meetings after the layoff the CEO told everyone they did a layoff because of economic issues and not due to the reasons that the reviewer left. So, is that just another lie you told the employees? If you want to work for a company that tells their employees one thing, to turn around to do the opposite, this is the place for you. They even showed their true colors by leaving that review, because it reads like it was left by someone higher up in the company. P.S. You don't look good when you lay off employees via text/email no matter what you do or say.

With the way the economy is going, we’ve had to look at our costs and make some adjustments to control our expenses during these uncertain times. We’ve lowered as many non-headcount costs as possible for 2023, but 80% of our expenses come from payroll. We are disheartened we had to do a reduction in force of about 10% of the company. In order to make the decision on who would be part of this reduction, we looked at a number of things including: which roles can be outsourced, individual performance, tenure, roles that could be eliminated, job duties that could be reassigned, outcomes based off of scorecards, and what positions are critical to supporting our customer base. This criteria was looked at by each team and department to make decisions. We sent an email as a notice because we wanted everyone to know at the same moment if they were impacted or not. Word spreads fast, and we didn’t want anyone to be uncertain of the status of their employment. We wanted nothing more than to have these conversations face-to-face, but could not find a way to do that without creating uncertainty. We wanted to respect each person’s privacy as they received this difficult news. We offered those impacted a 2 month severance package. Additionally, we are helping with job searching support. We’ve facilitated 430+ introductions and lined up 97+ interviews for those impacted up to this point, because we care about everyone who has and ever will work for JobNimbus. We’ve held webinars about resume building, preparing for a phone interview, and preparing for in person interviews. We are offering 1:1 coaching sessions to help you in your job search as well. Please reach out to px.team@jobnimbus.com to schedule one of those sessions.

“We’ll never lay anyone off……” with multiple layoffs following.

Pros

The CEO is a decent guy who lost control after taking on investors.

Cons

JobNimbus used to be great. They laid a bunch of people off through an email late on the Tuesday night before thanksgiving—zero tact. Then, they took the entire company on a trip. Then, they promoted a TON of people. Then, they fired more people and tried to spin it like it wasn’t a lay off (“We’re just pivoting….”) The directors they’ve promoted raise some serious flags. Theye difficult to work for and have zero interpersonal skills. It was a political game. They let go some excellent talent and are now scrambling to figure out how to keep departments from falling apart. Their methods for laying people off are so unsympathetic and classless. They keep trying to rebuild what they’ve destroyed but in the meantime, destroy even more. So disappointed in what was once a great company. There is no loyalty and absolutely no sense of family. Don’t be fooled, the culture that used to be fantastic is no longer. Their boiler plate responses to these negative reviews should speak volumes. There’s no excuse. Steer clear.

We’re bummed to hear your disappointment about JobNimbus. We want nothing more than to have every team member feel cared for & energized about our team & culture. With the way the economy is going, we’ve had to look at our costs and make some adjustments to control our expenses during these uncertain times. We’ve lowered as many non-headcount costs as possible for 2023, but 80% of our expenses come from payroll. We are disheartened we had to do a reduction in force of about 10% of the company.

We’ve held webinars about resume building, preparing for a phone interview, and preparing for in person interviews. As a result of these changes we’ve had to restructure some teams to best leverage our existing team. That has included promoting several people to new roles. We will continue to adapt to do what is best for our customers and JForce. If you have specific concerns regarding these changes or the people promoted, please speak with a member of PX.

Cringe workplace.

Pros

Some good people. Good work Hours and care about me spending time with my family.

Cons

This is all my opinion and what I have observed and how I feel. I could be wrong. Where do I begin? What employees say is “awesome” culture is in fact very toxic. I’ve heard higher ups talk crap on thier own employees, when someone is let go the CEO tells the whole company why and it’s very uncomfortable and no one’s business. They fired some amazing and wonderful people and the CEO has the audacity to get in front of everyone and talk about them being fired! It’s so uncomfortable and unprofessional. It is none of our business and it’s not fair to those people let go to defend themselves. There was an incredible person who was recently let go. No one really knows why he was let go and makes everyone nervous! I feel, The CEO brags about himself constantly and his once a week all-hands meetings are such a waste of time that no one pays attention and could easily be an email. He once said, “we could have given everyone a $4000 bonus. But that’s boring! So we are going to Cabo!” And a lot of people couldn’t make it to Cabo and JobNimbus did nothing for them except give them a BS “Swag bag”. They try to drive company culture with cringe games and themes. Like our meeting rooms are named after pop-culture references and has expensive artwork in them that cost a ton. When they could use that money to pay their employees. And that’s the other thing. I feel their pay is unfair because they will only pay you what you are “worth”(education, certs, etc) instead of your performance. So I feel, if you are awesome at your job and bring in the money for them but only have a high school education, good luck on a “raise.” I feel, The CEO has set impossible sales quotas. We are drowning in trying to get to them. We are demoralized. No one likes it and most of us are looking for a new job. I feel, Our PX (peoples experience) makes everyone nervous. We see a lot of games and themes and pop culture decoration they add and it makes me embarrassed to bring friends and family to the office. I feel they are fake and that no one trusts them and we all avoid them like the plague. The benefits are nothing special. They are just like everywhere else. They have cringe names for PTO like, “hero time” and when someone takes PTO The CEO has some poor sap get up during his cringe all-hands meetings and talk about what they did on their PTO. Like it’s elementary school or something. It’s hard to watch. When someone is fired they claim to help them find a new job. I feel that this is not true. I have talked to many fired employees and they all said the same thing. They helped them get 1 interview and they were on their own! I can keep going. But just talking about this place is giving me a migraine. In my opinion, I feel like the JobNimbus ship is sinking and we all can see it. So we are jumping to a less cringe ship that actually pays and doesn’t waste our time with pointless meetings or the CEO talking about himself and his comic book no one heard of or cares to buy.

Thank you for your candid feedback! We are always looking for ways to improve. The hero's journey is part of our mission in “Making Contractors Heroes'', which is why we use popular references to heroes like Luke Skywalker. In regards to celebrating JForce members as they leave their hero's journey, a quote by Yoda comes to mind, “The greatest teacher, failure is.” The intent was a way to wish people well on their next journey, but the impact wasn’t what was intended. We are now asking all departing members of the JForce if they would grant permission for us to celebrate them in their last All Hands Meeting. If you have any other suggestions of how we do this, we are all ears. 100% of the company was invited to join us in Cabo San Lucas for HeroCon. We gave 6 months notice for people to make arrangements to join us for this all expenses paid adventure. We would never want anybody to feel left out, or feel that they are not valued by JobNimbus and its leadership. What a great place to work, though – at a company that offers you a free vacation to Cabo for you and your +1. Maintaining our culture while we scale is our number one priority, and we’re sorry your experience hasn’t reflected that. If you have any other feedback, feel free to reach out to PX with more suggestions. (Although you want to avoid us like the plague, we do care about your happiness.) :) If you still do not feel comfortable speaking with anyone on the PX team, we strongly encourage you to reach out to any leader who you trust. We really care a great deal about all our employees and are here to support you to whatever extent you will allow us.
