Jasper Engines & Transmissions

Outside sales for Jasper Innovative Solutions (the sister company of Jasper Engines) could have been a fun job if you really like to travel..... A LOT!  The job description says you will be calling on a variety of clients, and working with small businesses and regional managers of large worldwide fleets.  You will actually only be calling on the United States Post Office vehicle maintenance facilities and selling auto parts for the old mail delivery vehicles.  The USPS is spending less and less every year on these vehicles and you will be held accountable for any decrease in sales.  The USPS will be replacing these vehicles very soon and the new vehicles will be under warranty for a few years. Which means you want be able to sell them anything.  Unless JIS wises up and actually comes up with "innovative solutions" to their own dying business they will continue on a downward spiral.

You won't make much money for at least one year to year and a half (30k). In the beginning you will spend at least 6 weeks in living a crummy hotel or one of the company owned houses in Jasper, IN and then 3 to 4 weeks at a time away from your home and family and you are expected to stay in cheap and sometimes dangerous hotels.  YOU WILL ALSO BE EXPECTED TO SHARE YOUR HOTEL ROOM WITH WHOMEVER YOUR ARE TRAVELING WITH. The company will not pay for separate rooms.  When it comes to negotiating your commission plan with your sales manager make sure you get EVERYTHING in writing because his word doesn't mean much.  As a matter of fact make sure you get anything he says in writing.  Be careful  what you say around them and in meetings because they will you it against you and create more time consuming tasks.

You will be expected to turn in your hand written notes from your sales calls like you are in middle school.  Your notes will be criticized and you might get written up for literally not checking boxes in your own notes from your sales calls.  It is an absolute joke.  Your will also record your sales calls at least 4 different ways maybe 5 through CRMs, excell sheets, and call plans.  The CEO thinks that everything can be run and operated like an assembly line in the factory.  This position can't.  You will spend more time "proving" that you are working than actually trying to figure out the customers needs.

Well this company gives you good benefits,
     401k etc, but wants the impossible from ya in the work field, everything and I do mean everything is timed and micromanaged , you have 10mins per stop, that includes delivery of trans/engine and recovery of cores that they may have.
     And any and every little typo from the way you write your numbers and letters are checked, you have to collect payments check, credit cards, or cash and if something needs to be verified you will have to call accounting ( keep in mind you have 10 mins per stop ) soo when this happens you have to call and also note what stop and how long you were held up.
  or and here in Texas we been having triple digit excessive heat warnings for like 4 weeks straight, and they want you to turn off the truck at every stop, which I do understand the not wanting to idle part, but all your paperwork completing inside the truck has to be done with the engine off, if your in traffic and come to a train crossing  and you get caught, you have to sit there and wait until the train passes WITH THE ENGINE OFF, or if you're taking a lunch and they're isn't a place to sit inside, you'll have to take your lunch inside the truck, and yes..with the engine off..also you'll have to fuel your truck at the end of each route and you will have to sit a wait for your turn at the pump, soo i don't have to tell ya what's required next..lol,  they don't care about your health in this heat...And the same will go for the winter as well, they don't even want you warming the truck up on first start...its pre-trip, crank and go cause even that, you have a departure time. These are just some of the crazy thing that you'll encounter at this place, It's way more that I haven't said, but don't take my word for it...give them a shot...good luck

One Saturday off a month. Never know what time you’ll be going home that day. Never leave on time or early that’s always for sure. Micromanaged even when signed off on jobs. They’ll bend all rules for the company or whatever the group or team lead can get away with and do nothing in return for your hard work, and dedication for them. I learned three positions in a time frame I needed one. While I was learning a new position in another area, when let go on a simple misunderstanding or miscommunication. They didn’t even call to get more information from me, just went off terrible leadership words and assumptions. CEO makes you feel like your easily replaceable too, in his welcome aboard meeting as well. Just terrible management and bold face lies. “They do it right in there eyes and for sure no fun.” No more fun than you’d expect in any other factory. If you wanna move up it’s basically a kissing butt game. Doesn’t matter if your a hard worker. If your looking to just show up, be a hard worker, stick to your self, work your shift and go home. Don’t expect it here. The best workers are thrown around and expected to stay late and make up for others incompetence. Other than all that terrible stuff, I liked tearing down transmissions, and there insurance was good. Just as expensive as anywhere else. But lower deductibles. High turn over, I saw why in my first couple weeks.

Checks almost every box on the toxic workplace list: 
Bad communication
Little to no communication for things like plans for the department, people being hired/fired, and changes to work equipment.

Cliques
You have to watch you back for coworkers trying to look good for management.

Bad leadership (incompetent micromanagement)
Everything is high priority, the priority is constantly changing, and the changes are not always communicated. Every minute of the workday is either scheduled or tracked. If you make a mistake or are doing something wrong you will find out in your yearly performance review. 

Unmotivated coworkers 
Not motivated to learn the skills needed to do the job. The hard workers have to work harder to pick up the slack and fix the stuff that breaks.

Stifled growth
Learning but then you would not have time for the high priority things that have to be done first.

Employee turnover
Unless the person works with you directly you do not find out that people left or were fired until you try to contact them or you hear rumors. I can think of 8 people off the top of my head since last year.

No work-life balance
I do not have issues with this yet but I know some of my coworkers do.

Burnout
Major issue (Google: WHO ICD-11 QD85)

The so called A team and upper management and company itself does not have family values. they have a very cold heart when it comes to family emergencies and needing to take off. You will get punished and they will take off points on attendance policy..If you have a immediate family member who is passing away, they will make you come to work , all they think about is the bottom line and putting customers first, sorry i think my family comes first!!  all the drivers are just a number to them, they have cameras in the trucks and at all the branches,they watch you through your i pad..,and installed camera in the trucks from drive cam.. they watch and tract you every minute of the day, they even know when your engine is running at the stops, they will call you to tell you to shut off the truck.. .they make you do exercises on camera so they can make fun of you.Managers like to sit back in their easy chairs and pick on the drivers..making it hard to do your job..your on pins and needles, because they are watching you so much.. i felt very uncomfortable made me nervous trying to do my job, Company has no sick days, if you get sick you have to take a vacation day. they will work you til the dot limit and they do not allow extra time for traffic back ups you wind up using your lunch time to make up time because you get behind,they took away minutes from the stops, its hard to gain any time out on the road , i can go on and on.. please take my advice and look elsewhere for employment

I have been employed by Jasper Engines for 16 years. I first started as a delivery driver, was advanced to warehouse support, eventually becoming an operations manager and was recently promoted again to my current position. In my time with Jasper I like to imagine I have experienced most situations encountered by operations staff. The good far out weighs the bad. I originally came to work at Jasper in order to have a job with benefits. I have only continued to receive more benefits as the company has advanced and grown. The company continues to experience growth year after year. With a constant strive for improvement and innovation in all areas and departments, Jasper is always working at being the company of choice for both our employees and customers. I enjoy continuing to work with those in operations and share what I have learned and my experiences. I plan on remaining employed with Jasper until my retirement, a long time from now. What will keep me around is not just the excellent benefits by the high caliber of people that I have the pleasure of working with. I have "grown up" with Jasper and consider them to be a second family.

Jasper engines has a wide range of employment optunintty from many white  collar jobs  Variations of types of mechanical categories to other labor jobs  Some not requiring much education or skill to others that require both mental and physical skills, Some require a lot of physical attention and some are not so hard on the body Well depends what department you're put in to what's your job category is how well you can get along with the type of people they hire make sure you're there every day And you will have a job and they will take pretty good care of you has for Rosa making sure you're employed and the tooling you need and And treat you good at break time and special occasion,  They have many programs and place and advancements and they expect a lot because I give a lot so it all the tens on know what you're willing to do Um my pinion way too much filling out of paperwork way too many meetings to go to way too many changes taken place changes fine but cost and change seems to confuse a lot of people and make for a lot of rework and ish other issues other than that is pretty great company.

Not only do they make sure you know at every turn that you're an 'owner' (even though you own no stock until you hit 12 months) and that they're an employee owned company, they hold it over your head to manipulate you into working 75 hours per week and spending 3 weeks per month living in hotels on your own dime (prompt expense reimbursement though). You are required to put the company above all else including your sanity, family, and life ~ 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

Work life balance isn't even a suggestion  with leadership and the compensation carrot doesn't cover the cost of that trade-off. You get to put 5k miles per month on your personal vehicle while you patiently wait to be deemed good enough by leadership to get a company car (somewhere around 12 months from your hire date).

Last, over 89% of their customers will either be irate because they've been stiffed on  warranties or their customers warn you that you won't see them again because employee turnover is so bad.

it will cost you more in the long run to work for this company,, no advancement, watched every minute of the day, trailers always late, lie to you, your opinion means your a trouble maker, they don't like outspoken people, they will take your bonuses every chance they can ,they will lie to you, you so you  will take the job, all the decision are made by corporate, your branch manger is just a pawn for the company, i worked there seven years and just like that gone. so in short, other than the branch manager being a great guy. if you like being lied to, watched every second of the day, if you  want to be a suckup and snitch then this is the job for you. your raises will suck, all ,last year i had 4 pay checks that were 40hrs all the rest were less than 40. you will not advance in this company, i know i wanted to and was we can't once your in that truck your stuck

Start work and at the first account at 8am. Workout throughout the day until 5pm.

I have learned a lot about pricing and vehicle components beyond my already extensive previous knowledge. 

Management has somewhat of a sink or swim mentality, and has put me in risk in driving situations due to their fast pace and lack of regard to traffic laws and safety. Ambiguous rules. 

Since coworkers are in another territory, we do not interact much.

The hardest part of the job is adopting the abrasive company culture that cares more about sales than wellbeing. 

The most enjoyable part of the job is the direct correlation between hard work and results. The more effort you put in, the more results you get, and the effort is not complicated.
