Pros
Every other Friday off, good pay, Buyers are hybrid as a way to keep employees.
Cons
The Compliance part of this job is VERY complicated. Sparton continuously hires people in at Buyer II with no experience, and has Buyer I people training them. This is only one example of the discord the management sows. Procurement Dept has had management issues since at last 2000. Personal experience: 5 Managers and 3 Directors in less than 2 years (2022 - 2024, last manager "moved to a non-managerial roll" after reports of verbal abuse and manager position eliminated in favor of two Supervisors reporting directly to the (new) Director. One Supervisor quit within 3 months. A year later (2025) after high staff attrition, the remaining Supervisor position is being eliminated in favor of a new Manager.
