Kontras
As others have noted, management of the JDA's is a significant flaw within the company. There are a few exceptions of great leadership, but the majority of them have no knowledge of how to manage others and just use their authority at any unnecessary given opportunity. They talk condescending, act unprofessional, and take advantage of their employees. Leadership expects you to work through your lunch everyday, stay late on weeknights, and work through the weekends to meet their unrealistic goal on a regular basis. Despite being told that this is a flexible 9-5 job in the interview, you become constantly told that this is not a 9-5 jobs. To succeed in the JDA role, you will need to be committed to having zero work-life balance while receiving a very mediocre salary. The people who will do that will be blatantly favored over the others. They do not make efforts to help people succeed or improve their skills. Instead they assign unrealistic goals and make you feel as if your job will be threatened if the goal is not met. They do not take into account the fact that there are constant roadblocks that are out of the hands of the JDA's and waiting on action from the operations team or being escalated to another department. They are always sure to make it known that each individual's production is being watched closely, and if we didn't reach our goal we would be spoken to and need to give explanations. They use such tactics to get employees to work more, but they fail to see the environment of worry, stress, and overall unhappiness that they are creating in doing so. There are some really smart and talented people within the company, and HR is really great and seems to be becoming aware of the issues within the JDA department. Hopefully there will be some changes made so that the JDA's can work in a more positive environment since they are such a crucial piece of what Tempus is trying to do.
