Its not a bad place to work. The majority of the people on the floor are really great to be around. The knowledge base of the guys is quite extensive. But if the place continues to be run in its current direction the people will leave, weather they have a job to go to or not.
JHAS has its fair share of problems. And from a shop floor perspective, we know mistakes are being made in the other operators shop floor as well, but their issues are kept quiet. Any little issue at JHAS gets blasted across the forum.
Biggest issue at JHAS is communication. Email communication is too big, actual speech via mouth is too small. Its at all levels, and is not helped by the division of day/night shifts.
Best of luck with your job search if you decide to come to Australia, best option is jump into the contracting positions to stay afloat and then hope/pray/wish a full time position comes your way.
