Great Jobs Have Values That Align With Yours 

Job seekers are now evaluating an employer’s specific values when considering their options.  These values need to align with their own and can present a make-or-break element in the decision process. 

Our most important asset at JLS is our people–and that includes valuing not only our employees but what matters most to them as well. That’s why we recently asked their top reasons for choosing to work at JLS.   

The top 6 reasons for choosing a career at JLS that they gave were: 

• Culture 
• Growth 
• Engagement 
• Technology 
• Benefits Package
• Pride in Quality & Craftsmanship 

Although these are just 6 of the many reasons that our employees gave, it’s clear that all of them provide meaning to the lives of JLS employees.  

Our Employees Say it Best

Here’s what our team is saying about why they chose a career with JLS:  

“For my situation, culture was the primary factor in coming to JLS.  I turned down an offer match from my former employer because I was impressed with the people at JLS and what they were turning out.  I wanted to be a part of this, and seven months in, I’m still very happy with my decision.”  – Adam Harris, Applications Engineer 

“The recruiting process – How the team explained the culture and the engagement of the organization. The focus was on the JLS families not just the associates most important everything that was presented was in fact a way of life at JLS.” – Joe Garner, Director of Operations 

“Company culture, lifestyle, and family focus, built through initiatives like these Living and Learning events were a huge selling feature. Future coworkers were glowing with the fun memories of recent family-friendly events when talking with me during my job interview. Also, the choice of social justice topics impressed on me a sense of the maturity and larger mission that Craig has for the company and all the employees to make a positive difference in the world.”  – Sara Myers, Technical Writer
