Pros
The theory behind JLS Trading Co is incredible. Work hard, demonstrate proficiency, get rewarded sounds great, in theory. Decent async work, a friendly team of people who think they love working there, and of course: the always hilarious insane narcissistic owner that has a serious temper but tries to keep it under wraps in the face of the public. Sound like borderline psychopathy? Yeah, that’s because it is.
Cons
You’ve been warned: the best employees of this organization are incredibly passive, incredibly naive, and easily manipulated by leadership. The owner of this organization feeds on people who are easily manipulated and controlled. Disobey his rules? Expect to be ridiculed. Disobey his direction or see it going a different way? Expect severe reactions, including his heart-palpitating moments of shouting and excitability before finally calming back down. Overall, if you’re a subject matter expert or already leading a team, taking any position at this organization will be a step down. They need young, stupid, easily influenced people who will do anything for anyone, including incredibly redundant and stupid systems built entirely on Google sheets. And they’re shocked that the organization has had to do lay offs and have lost a lot of great deal of talent in the last 2 years? Nothing shocking here. If you’re new to working, give it a shot. If not, steer clear, find someplace that’s a little less…. childish.
