How do you think Jean-Baptiste is with the servants?
From the few clues we have, he's a rather nice boss, who is able to get his servant's sincere devotion. Nicolas-Gabriel says that all the assistants are devoted to him. Jean-Baptiste was André's original master, and the fact he serves Nicolas-Gabriel when we first meet him suggests that Jean-Baptiste allowed it to happen. When Jean-Baptiste worked as executioner, Paris had already replaced the "droit de havage" into a fixed sum, and thus his servants were essencially now all forced to cosplay civilians. So being his employee would probably imply that you would receive a couple of false names and adresses, just so you could do errands without getting punched in the face more times than absolutely necessary. However, essentially cosplaying normal people means that you cannot hope, unlike the rest of your colleagues, to elevate your social status in the executioner hierarchy by marrying one of his sons or daughters. So yeah, it's a two way thing. The work would be hard, mentally taxing, disgusting, but in case of legal trouble, he'll probably take their side, and would even recommend them to a relative if you seem to particularly like said relative. Also, his pay would be a lot more regular.

Jean-Baptiste deligated the task of whipping petty thiefs whenever he could to his servants. But today was a particularly busy day in a busy week, as the shed needed some urgent repairs (and almost killed poor Charles-Nicolas on the head). Plus, he didn't want to get too much out of practice.
He walked down the back alley of the court room to meet the young convict for theft.
The petty thief that day was a cute little blond thing with verpiligo and freckles. An adorable little girl, really, who seemed swift and agile enough to do honest work. It was a good thing for her punishment, since it meant she could endure a lot. Probably a poor soul who could use saving, and being guided towards an honest life once the temptation was beaten out of her. Plus, he could use some more dexterous staff. He would think about it. He also wondered, that those agile fingers would be perfect if she would learn how to weave spidersilk, as it was a more human approche to closing wounds than depending on hot irons exclusively. Now, his mother and daughter did do some of the spider-weaving, but, there was only two of them, and they needed to do other things that did not involve spider-silk weaving.
