Pros

Good pay and benefits, was a good job until we got a plant mngr. who had no business being in that position.

Cons

There is a layer of middle management that is tripping all over themselves to become the next director. They will smile to your face as they are sliding the knife in between your ribs.

Pros

Learned a lot and had a lot of smart people to work with. Pay is fair and the benefits are good.

Cons

They have been pushing a lot of the long term employees out of the organization. It used to be a fun place to work. Most of my friends who are still there no longer think so.

Pros

Stability. Swagelok does have a lot of tenure, with plenty of knowledge of the industry. They hire good people. Friendly, informative... Compensation is commensurate with the industry. If you know the right people, you can do well. Are you thinking about working here? It’s great if you want a job. If you want a career, you better have an in with the CEO.

Cons

It’s a good old boy network. It’s who you know, not what you know that gets you up the ranks. They have an open door policy, but don’t like hearing challenging ideas. SLOW to change. They embrace a career development program to fill their leadership pipeline, so if you actually know what you are doing, and are a seasoned leader, look elsewhere. Operations v Office are two different companies with respect to how associates are treated. No one listens to the voice of the associate. The message from the top down is what middle management responds to. The arrogance of leadership is laughable.
