Pros

The company is growing and has a broad product portfolio. There many great employees within the organization and overall the company is somewhat enjoyable to be a part of.

Cons

The salary for most, if not all positions is typically below market averages. As a result it is nearly impossible to bring talented employees in or to keep the ones that are here. This in turn makes working at Banner very frustrating and almost futile. There is also little to no differentiation between top performers and under performers, both in terms of pay and recognition.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We’d like to take this opportunity to address a few points you raised. Banner Engineering does benchmark total compensation levels and adjusts levels as needed based on purchased salary data. Our strong employee retention record indicates that we are competitive in our compensation and work-life balance expectations. Over the last several years, the company has made strides to improve inter-company communication, including hosting quarterly corporate meetings to review plans and company performance. In addition, our strong growth has allowed us to expand our staff to include specialists in engineering systems and process, as well as significantly expand our R&D resources.

Pros

-Air conditioned building. -Computer chairs to sit in during work.

Cons

-Upper management and above is abysmal. I had 6 managers over the course of 3 years of working there. "Organizational change ups", firings and just walking out, seem to happen routinely due to the rot at the top. -Management outright lied about co-workers and my performance in our yearly reviews as an excuse to deem our positions as obsolete and then the company laid us off. -Lots of detrimental policies for lower level employees including the "pay differentials" and will gladly underpay mid level employees while consistently stacking more responsibilities on you. -Non-first shift employees are consistently ignored and disregarded despite most of them having longer tenure then the revolving door of employees on 1st shift. -Company leadership likes to demand mandatory overtime for Electronic Assemblers way too often resulting in slumps of work where they'll "offer" unpaid time off. -Company is also hyper reactive and volatile when trying to meet demand. Including laying off the majority of a third shift when work got slow, to then mass hiring for all shifts nearly doubling low level employees including a weekend shift about a year after cutting the 3rd shift, that has now been dwindled back down to similar employment levels only 8 months later.
