Good company if you are self-motivated

Pros

When given the opportunity you can learn a lot and gain experience from other co-workers. Good environment but trending down as new hires come and go.

Cons

No work-life balance at all. No free weekends and always on call. Lack of communication within the entire company and micro management everywhere. No motivation whatsoever.

Pros

Overtime each day 11.7 hrs.

Cons

managers only focusing on the negative things, in Newbury Park, and the new overall manager for the manufacturing that came in about 3 years ago. They only care about numbers and micro manage the hard working people and do not care about the harder you work if you just make a couple of very small mistakes which most of the faster harder workers tend to make. The slower non caring workers tend to get better raises because they do not make 2 o 3 more small mistakes. taken bonuses like best buy cards, lucky to get 1 or 2 percent raises now even if your in the top percent of workers. Very negative management mostly focus on any small mistakes, no focus on employee morale. Only good shift is B2 in the Fab building because the supervisor is so good and nice, respectfull to the employees in the fab building and they still do real good on the numbers. So many people dislike working there because of the bad management style, most long term employees wanting to get out, in the fab is like a sweat shop atmosphere, repetitive work non stop boring after a couple years. Very greedy upper stock holders and management giving worse medical benefits and bonuses when we are breaking all there expectations. Fab environment is bad because of management attitude towards the employees. No talking work like a robot is what I mean. Work fast and non stop but if you make a very small mistake then they will tell you to slow down what a joke.

Pros

Good people, decent compensation. Company has plenty of resources both financial and human and aims to be a force in the market. Work life balance is reasonable and culture is generally positive.

Cons

New leadership is brutal and will slash jobs even when the people and the company are doing great. Anything to improve the bottom line. During my time there we experienced several job actions a year - even business units that were doing a great job for the company and key performers were shown the door based on the whims of executive management.
