Pros

The best career starting point in the area. If you are interested in a company where you can begin a career, this is a great company.

Cons

They need to find themselves, which they are still searching. At the rate they are going, they will find it soon.

Once great, but not longer

Mill technician

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is very competitive as they had a significant pay increase in 2021 for most employees. Before this it was below average for the industry. There are a few great people to work with, from other techs to engineers there is a solid core of people who actually care about each other and the projects they work on.

Cons

For mill techs: -This is not a resume building, or career enhancing training ground. Janicki is extremely niche and most of their systems are home-brew. Your skills are not likely to convert well to other places in the same field. -You may receive a decent bonus after your initial training. In my experience this is the last significant raise you will receive. Unless, however, you decide you want to work a swing shift, graveyard shift, or on the weekends. BEWARE if you do move to one of these shifts you are stuck there. For Engineers: -you will be asked to work more than 40 hours a week, you will be asked to be on call 24/7, you will not be given adequate training. You will be looked down on for not answering your phone at 2am on a Sunday, perhaps even reprimanded. A healthy work life balance cannot exist while working as an engineer for Janicki. For part time/full time students: I have witnessed many try and fail to work and go to school while at Janicki. The hours are harsh, and the work is mentally and physically exhausting. If you can convince them to hire you on part time this will be your only way of successfully getting a degree.

Room for growth

Pros

Janicki offers steady employment in a really cool community. Skagit Valley is a very fun and beautiful place to live and work. Janicki has a commitment to strive to be a clean and safe area to work which can be challenging. There is room for growth if you work hard and put in the time. Pay and position can and does increase with diligence. There are at least 8 managers including myself who have been working up the ranks through the years as well as other in other positions. I have seen first hand upper management make the call to take a loss rather than lay off during slow times. I know of senior officials who have let guys go and then be willing to meet up with them for drinks and discuss opportunities to bring them back with change of attitude. I came across this site with all these negitive reviews and I for one understand there have been some challenges we have worked through but nowhere what these reviews make it out to be. Not only that but the whole company has really put forth the effort to make an even better place which other companies don't even put forth half what this team does. I really appreciate my job and the crews I work with.

Cons

The work can be hard and the days can be long. There have been periods of lot's of over time as the company has reached for goals.
