Pros

Good benefits, good pay. Established organization that is diversified in Healthcare, Consumer Electronics, and Lighting.

Cons

Company is run by financial executives that have to cut employees regularly due to not meeting company financial goals. Employees always feel like they could be let go every year.

Pros

Their vision is good however they are behind GE.

Cons

Company does not support or backup Managers. Allows upper management to bully managers. Went to HR and HR went to manager and told them who said what, therefore no trust in HR or Upper Management.

No Raises, Forget about tuition reimbursement, Dead end job

Electronics technician

Business Outlook

Pros

Easy to get lost in a sea of incompetence if you like to slack off. Each shift is like a 8-hour long break. Technician positions plentiful and secure. Good amount of vacation time offered after being hired. Company matched (plus) 401k works wonderfully. Great job for students due to the joke workload and less-than-challenging repetitive work.

Cons

High degree of nepotism regarding promotions. Over-achievement is despised. Achievement goes unnoticed. Company culture is touted as one thing but exists as something completely different. Pay is low, reviews only come yearly, and raise is a laughable 0.10-0.40. Not even enough to allow for cost of living increases. Near impossible red-tape to navigate to receive University tuition reimbursement. Middle management and lower management are local yokels without proper credentials to fulfill their roles. Skill-sets go unnoticed during hiring process, i.e. they have assemblers working the same role as engineers.
