Pluspunten

Absolutely nothing. Free parking doesn’t even come close to making it worth it to work here.

Minpunten

I worked for Jack Bowerman for roughly 1 week in 2019. From the first day, I had such an anxious feeling because of how Jack presents himself. Right off the bat, he is rude, condescending, literally laughs in your face and makes you feel completely worthless. I tried to stick it out for a few days because I needed the job and experience of working in an office. I had to put my dignity first. I wouldn’t accept nor tolerate the type of behaviour he displayed from anyone outside of work, therefore I refused to put up with it from a man I just began working for. On about the 5th day, I walked out after being told I was “stupid” because I put the wrong type of label on a file (even though I was never even shown what type of label to use for which file). There were 2 other people working there when I was. One woman who was almost at the end of her rope, and one gentleman who had been working for Jack for years, was subject to Jack’s daily abuse. When walking out, the woman I worked with asked to take my number “just in case” because many employees had left for the same reason as me. Months later I heard from this woman who said she had just walked out as well. The last straw was when she watched Jack Bowerman physically attack the man who worked for him. The woman watched as Jack threw punches and the man had his hands up trying to defend himself. The man then exited Jack’s office with a bloody nose, face scratched up, and blood on his dress shirt. This seems like something out of a money, but sadly enough this is reality. I was unfortunately gone at the point of this incident. I say unfortunately because if I was there and witnessed it, I would have immediately contacted police to have Jack reprimanded. This man not only should not be able to continue a business and hire employees to take his aggression out on, but should have to face the legal consequences of his actions.

Huge work station, not cubicle. That's it.
