Working at JB Ashtin
We place great value on our team members. Over the years we have carefully created a team that works well together and truly cares for each other. Throughout the year, we offer our team all sorts of social and team-building activities like attending murder mysteries and escape rooms to engaging in axe throwing and personal growth seminars. Each year, we host a fun-filled meet-and-greet activity that brings us together for several days. It’s no wonder we are certified as a Great Place to Work as voted by our team. Join us and see what all the excitement is about!

GOING BEYOND: A more confident community
There is strength and power in uplifting others, not just in the workplace, but also in our communities. Each year, JB Ashtin partners with organizations like the American Cancer Society, Volunteers of America, the American Heart Association, Detroit Remodeled, Adopt-a-Family, and many others to do our part in helping ease the burdens of those around us. We believe that our engagement positively impacts our community, and we have a strong presence in working with these organizations so that they in turn can serve those in need.
What our clients say

“There are people I like working with. And then there is sort of the top of the pyramid of people who you like working with, who do good work, and you completely and totally trust. That’s JB Ashtin.”
