Pros

Interesting products, serving a niche market. The company has standard operating procedures and training programs to support the hourly associates. The hourly associates are dedicated and strive to meet and exceed goals.

Cons

Small family owned business managed by third generation. There are indications the company is experiencing serious challenges related to competitive market pressures. The Senior Leadership team is not in touch with the day to day operations. The organization is top heavy and the costs negatively affect the bottom line.

Pros

There are none, expect for enjoying cable assembly. The training on the floor was lackluster, and the trainer and leads spent more time talking and flirting then they are helping. When you do have a question to make sure something is safe and correct, they respond like your bothering them. They so worried about quantity they gave up on quality.

Cons

As a cable assembler the environment can be very cliquish. I was a temp, who was never late, always on time, did what was asked. No matter what I did or how hard I work my lead and trainer just didn't seem to like me? I wasn't sure if race had to do with it but seems like they set me up to fail, giving me small jobs all the time. I love to name them but won't. This isn't bitterness or sour grapes this is the truth. I never had the opportunity to talk to a supervisor because I was let go randomly. I like my job there just not the leads, but now I make six figures, so the cream always rises to the top. I can look back today and at least smile.
