Jamison Professional Services Inc

Jamison Professional Services was an organization that I enjoyed working for, but as with every company there are pros and cons. As a "Floater" I believe that being able to adapt to change has been a key element to my productivity in the workplace. Although learning how to work under the various managing styles has been difficult, it proved to be a valuable experience for me. I realized that no matter what, it was still my duty to represent any organization in excellence. With this understanding, I was requested to remain at several sites where my responsibilities each entailed directing phones lines, providing excellent customer service, addressing various inquiries, scheduling conference rooms, processing invoices and refunds, maintaining office equipment and supplies, providing key access, data entry, analyzing service requests, generating reports, and more. As an Administrative Assistant, I take great pleasure providing customer service.I thoroughly enjoy helping people to achieve their goals, whether it is assistance with locating lost items or coordinating events. Once con I must admit to regarding Jamison is the lack of communication. We never had meetings, luncheons, or gatherings at at all. Although I rarely saw my coworkers from Jamison, I have a wonderful working relationship with the staff at my site. We work well together.

The interview with JPS was rather easy and I was hired fast however the actual onboarding process took nearly 3 months and TONS AND TONS of actual physical paperwork. 
After actually starting the contract, it was clear there was no actual structure to this position. It was rather get the job done and as fast as possible. 
While working with the actual project and because it was government everything was a "Hurry up and wait" status which included the project getting extended.
The pay was great, but there were no benefits other than accruing some PTO which even if you wanted to use "YOU HAD TO BE SICK." I was actually told by the HR rep that I could not use my sick time for a day off because of a "mentally bad day." 


The company itself is owned and run by great people. The mission is great and you are helping veterans with much deserved services.

That being said the management in my department was subpar! They take advantage of your availability and want you to be as flexible as possible so you can pick up the slack and they can have more leisurely time (for example running personal errands and chauffeuring their kids around) They excuse their bad tone and behavior by saying they have passion, which is absolutely garbage.

HR is also not very helpful as it is one person and it takes her a while to catch on to things and is not great at fixing issues or giving advice.

All the typists were great to work with!



I was task with scheduling appointments and sometimes just talking with the Warriors.  Several of the people were prior military and nurses, so that were always interested in taking care of the Soldiers that came into our office.  I loved my job with Jamison and I was very upset when the military decided to close the Battalion. While I was employed for almost 10 years I found that talking with the soldiers was helpful to them as well as my self.  It made me understand what they had been through down range.   This job was one of the best I ever had.

I see few bad reviews but my honest opinion is that Jamison is a great employer to work with. I have been in  my position for over 14 years by now. Unfortunately as positions are under a contract with the government, employees or former employees must understand that this is out if Jamison's hand to control the time that the government requires before someone can join the company. some of the clearance is rejected because people tent to not follow simple instructions.

A typical day included daily prep via paperwork or computer files. The paper documents required removal of staples ans paper clips. Straighten any folds or wrinkles. Computer files required cleanup through optical recognition software.

I learned a lot of different things about my position and the company that I was working for.

I had great working relationships with my manager and co-workers.

The hardest part of the job was leaving once the contract was complete.

The enjoyable part was learning new things all the time and establishing several friendships at NOAA.

Typical day at work was to sign in, receive your assignment for where in the building you would be stationed for the day, and receive your food voucher for the day. Throughout the day, meeting and greeting visitors of all ages. Hardest part staying on feet for long periods of time. Most enjoyable part was the chance to be part of such a big event.

I have worked for Jamison for a little less than a year on my current contract. I accumulate paid time off, approximately one hour per week. The only drawback is if I need time off they prefer to have a PTO request submitted about two weeks prior. It makes doctor appointments difficult to schedule. Sick leave is not included, so that time is unpaid.

Jamison Professional Services kept me busy and I really loved working with them. I was exposed to so many different positions and learned so many different skills. I would recommend this agency to anyone who wants to get exposure to augment their skills.

Jamison Professional Services Inc. has great potential as a Small Business to be a larger business. There should be more automated systems, better Employee Relations, and a better allowance for Work/Life Balance.

The Corporate Office is very knowledgeable, but need to be more open to change.
