What does our team say about our company culture?

My role at JBREC challenges me on a daily basis. As a systemic thinker and perfectionist, the chaos that comes with planning events has helped me grow me into a more balanced individual.

Charity

The importance of giving back

JBREC recognizes the importance of giving back to the community. Rather than selecting all the charities, we believe in allowing each team member to decide which organizations they want to support and are passionate about.

We also encourage the team to participate in charitable activities to help the local community by providing paid time off for volunteering. Employees may use the matching and volunteer program to contribute their money, time, and talents to recognized charities, causes or not-for-profit organizations, making a positive difference in their communities and assisting those less fortunate.

Start Your Career at JBREC

We are always looking for great people to join our team and will accept resumes for consideration.
