Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you had a good experience during your 3 years at Camcraft. Yes, we do try to provide at least 10 hours of OT per week and we have been well above that this year. This also allows us to flex hours lower when the economy slows without impacting anyone's job. If you or anyone you know are interested in making a change, we are growing and have a number of opportunities available!

Thank you for your kind review! We are glad you were able to spend quite a few years with us and it was a good experience. Over 100 of us have been in the Camcraft family for more than 10 years...and over 50 for more than 20 years! We try to provide 50 hours per week for everyone who wants OT, but that isn't always possible as we flex up and down with our global customers and the economy. We do have two plants (Hanover Park and Bartlett) and deep expertise in several markets, giving us flexibility to move people to busier parts of the company and train them on different technologies. Camcraft is a great place to learn new skills. The good news is we go through the ups and downs together. We keep everyone informed during our regular employee meetings on how Camcraft and the economy are doing.

Pros

work is challenging but in a good way. Benefits are good

Cons

Pay is sub par with the normal scale. Engineering management is not receptive to the engineers suggestions. They lose good people with knee-jerk reactions and fire without warnings.

Based on the false information in this review, we don't believe this review is actually for Camcraft, and/or it is not from a current employee. This has been reported to Glassdoor, and we hope it is removed. 1) None of our Manufacturing Engineers have been with us for 5-7 years as this reviewer claims. 2) Pay is competitive and profits are shared via our 401K match and bonuses. 3) Engineering management is extremely receptive to engineer's suggestions. Our engineers drive vital changes and improvements every day. 4) Camcraft is known for NOT operating by knee-jerk reactions. 5) We have been in a hiring mode for engineers for years, not firing. 6) We have not fired a Manufacturing Engineer in the last 8 years. If you are an engineer considering making a move, we invite you to visit Camcraft to hear directly from any of our engineers why they are in the Camcraft family and to see what they accomplish with the latest technology. https://camcraft.com/careers/
