Pros

-Co-Workers were fantastic and often rallied together because of the lack of management and overall state of the company. -HR is ran well.

Cons

The company is ran horribly from the top down. Processes don't make sense. They don't pay vendors on time. They treat employees like numbers as opposed to people and it shows in their high turnover rate. Management doesn't provide employees with the tools to succeed and often cut corners on budget, making the employee experience awful. The company is celebrating a 30 year anniversary, you would expect them to run their operation like a well oiled machine by now, but at it's current rate I don't see the company lasting. When you have a marketing team led by someone that doesn't have a marketing background or know what is happening on a daily basis, you're bound to fail. The sales and marketing team need to be revamped from the top down. Processes need to be in the 21st century line of thinking and not back in 1986. If your management team doesn't have a clue about running the company and your employees know that, the future is not bright. I would also suggest management tells the truth during the interview process, because I am one of several former and current employees that were either put into a position they didn't apply for or were lied too regarding the state of the company and how it operates.

Pros

Most of the employees are very friendly but that is seriously the only good thing about this place. It made my sort time here bearable.

Cons

Everything else about this place is completely unprofessional and disorganized. The HR Department needs to learn the meaning of the word confidential. The HR staff gossip about other employees, forward emails from one employee to others, and they are completely incompetent. My department was small and my boss was unprofessional and immature to say the very least. The owners are extremely "frugal" and will not spend a dime on things that will actually improve the company. They use the duct tape method where they mask the problem without actually fixing it. They implement new rules and policies without thinking about the employees and the consequences of their actions. Instead of paying extra for decent employees they hire under qualified people at an extremely low rate. They do not appreciate the hard workers and often over work and underpay them. This is not a place for a recent college graduate looking for opportunity to grow. This is not the place for motivated, hardworking, and confident individuals. Trust me, no matter how much you think you need a job, this place is not worth it.

Pros

Without buying new equipment, I upgraded the entire shop's performance to produce 3 mil line/space with 100% yield by highly modifying key equipment, installed a clean room for product development, reprograming mechanical drilling to produce 0.0051inch diameter, etc

Cons

I did not get paid. I had to sue Sierra Circuits for breach of contract. Testified about the illegal waste dump into the parking lot drain. Failed to gain positive recognition for large customer order involving personally owned/patented product.
