Pros

Free pop and coffee, free fruit in cafeteria. Some really decent and fun to work with co workers, depending on the department you're placed in. Free catered lunches for good performance.

Cons

Several people that work here have mental issues they will try to sabotage you and/or your work. Every day is a soap opera of drama, dirty looks and infighting. The abuse starts immediately with the trainer, they treat you like you're a joke and stupid. Management makes promises they don't keep, and don't make any plans to have a life because you'll be on mandatory overtime and weekends all the time, with little to no notice before hand. The culture here is toxic, and they expect you to work like a machine. All they care about is 'numbers' and they will ride you constantly about it, every day.

Pros

Swagelok is a very nice place to work. It's full of great people at every level, and strongly committed to quality. Many people have spent their entire careers there.

Cons

There is a huge disparity between tenures. Those who started right out of college are still there 20-30 years later. Those who are hired mid-career are a revolving door. It's easily the most political company I've ever known. And the politics are fickle, so don't waste time trying to figure them out.

Pros

Benefits are amazing!!! low cost medical, 401k, ESOP, plus many other options that you don't see at companies.

Cons

A family friend was F-I-R-E-D and better terms the person was told "I have bad news.... you have been terminated." What an embarrassment to a person that has been there for 2 years and came in on off days to help when nobody would. Just a slap in a person face but for minorities there you are few far and between. Obviously, they have a issue with keeping minorities in position above the assembly line. They have a reputation for forcing demotion as well as forcing people to quit. In this case a demotion was suggested and this person didn't take. When it wasn't taken that's when the manager went out his way to make sure they were TERMINATED!!! Actually, he was to scared to the FIRING he had his boss do it while he waited outside the door.
