J.B. Hunt Transport Reviews

Pros

Wonderful, busy , place to work

Cons

Can’t think of anything negative.

Pros

Technology leadership and business leaders are forward thinking and taking the initiative to invest in new Technology like digital Frieght matching via JB Hunt 360 Marketplace.

Cons

There is a bit of an “in crowd” (atleast in Engineering and Technology) that tends to take on the new, exciting work and promote their own, while ignoring other top performers.

Pros

Multiple languages in use, including c#, java, python Freedom and control over the code that you produce, even as an intern Very stable position, and they work hard to keep you and will transfer you if you are not happy Lots of opportunities, and they are willing to let you try out many different teams The people are amazing, and every team I've been on has had at least on person willing to mentor me and help me out

Cons

Less pay than other places Remote work seems to be dying out

Pros

Good benefits. A nice range of equipment and technology. Some good people.

Cons

So much micromanaging. Your manager is micromanaging you, other managers are micromanaging your managers. There is always someone watching ready for you to fail so that they can stick it to you. There is an environment of “mean girls” that is extremely clique-ish and feels reminiscent to high school. It is not a healthy environment to feel supported and educated. It feels like you are thrown into the wolves and expected to know every in and out of the company with no proper training. You’re working the full 8-5 daily hours but they don’t even give you near enough work to fill those hours. I’ve never felt more isolated, judged, watched, and unrecognized.

Pros

My account has a small company feel. I have good management. They never micro manage us. We have new trucks. We have our own trucks. The job is easy. We don’t touch freight and don’t have a night shift. It’s easy to get time off when needed. We get paid hourly and over time over 40 hours. Usually work 8-10 hour days and average about 50 hours a week so work life balance is decent.

Cons

We have driver facing cameras now. Pay could be better. There are no annual pay raises or opportunities for growth. Work 6 days a week regularly.

Pros

Not too stressful. Everyone is so nice. Work is generally engaging. Overall tech stack is pretty modern, so the chances are low that you'll be dealing with super legacy code bases. The summer internship is a blast, with several outings. The management running the intern program have your back and will always support you when needed. Employment is full time for the summer and part time during the semester (if offered to stay). Pay is increased based off college year (junior, senior etc). Management prioritizes academic needs and will accommodate your needs during midterms.

Cons

Compensation is on the lower end for the industry. High performing employees might consider seeking a more rewarding wage elsewhere (unfortunately this is already happening). LGBT related emails (PLUS+ ERG) are inappropriate and should be discontinued. Those topics should not be expected from a transportation company in central USA.

Pros

Very diverse by the tech industry's standards. Also there's a ping pong table, and sometimes we get donuts. Depending on where you land, the work-life balance is pretty great on most teams. Other teams, it's hellish.

Cons

Stack ranking, things like establishing a long-time bonus plan only to change the plan the week we were supposed to receive our Q1 bonus (resulting in some of us not receiving one, while others received 10% of what was originally promised), only 2 weeks of PTO until 5 years with the company, then it moves to 3 weeks, non-competitive pay, among many other things related to the business' perspective on the value of their technology organization.

Pros

Great collaboration and teamwork amongst teams

Cons

Sometimes managers ask too much outside your duties/responsibilities

Pros

Great culture and good people, lots of learning opportunities

Cons

Extremely stressful and demanding industry

Pros

Pay is decent and hometime is good. Good equipment

Cons

Lack of communication and unorganized working slow
