Pros

They bought us lunch once a week, every quarter we went and did something as a team and the customers that we dealt with were very nice.

Cons

Honestly, I hated working here. When I started working they just kinda tossed things at me and expected me to know what I was doing, when I have no prior experience in this field. They had a “training” thing for me but never followed it. My manager was too worried about buying herself things & leaving for hair/face and other apts to care about the people underneath her. The only time she seemed to care was if it made her look bad, then she would scold you in front of the other associates. People talk bad about you every which way. Managers talking bad about other managers, associates talking bad about managers, it literally never ended. They were also big into drinking at the office. Super unprofessional all the way around.

Pros

Nothing. Not a single item is positive at Swagelok. Do not find out the hard way, please !

Cons

Everything. Did go to college to be required to wear a gas station uniform complete with your FULL name, first & last on display ? Most of the employees prior experience is Applebees, or Wal-Mart. All unskilled and iuneducated. All employees know they ate expendablevand your last day can bevtodsy. Pay is miserable. Overtime is mandatory with penalties for not work in it. The Idiot supervisors they keep for very short times ate stupid. immature and habe no experience with people. Racism and sexism run very deep from the CEO on down. If you're not white or male them don't bother applying. Even if you do get hired you'll never be promoted. HR is incompetent and composed of former typists. Pay is poor and time off is highly restricted. Most emoyees OWE money when they wisely depart. You have been warned ! Do not even think of working at Swagelok. Better opportunities abound everywhere else. The buffoons who stagnate rewarded by how much petty gossip try can report on each other. Stay out of it. We all know what gossip does and it is never good. The invpmeyeny shift managers believe all gossip without question and unfairly penalize people stupid enough to stay. Shift managers are complete incompetents and belong at Burger King. . You have been WARNED. Stay away at all cost. DO NOT work at Swagelok. Don't learn the hard way.

Pros

Lots of smart people from a technical and product perspective.

Cons

Military-like culture of conformity and chain of command. So, if you want to speak your mind or make changes then you should look elsewhere. Previous experience isn't really valued; there is more focus on "un-training" you than on picking your brain for fresh perspectives.
