Skytron Reviews

Skytron like many family owned firms is incredibly political. Although we are all part of the Skytron "Family" some of us are more family than others. Managment style is stuck in the 1970's and 1980's. Although there is talk of improvement, wheels are simply spinning. Lack of best practices and awareness of market dynamics is not only slowing growth, but leaving company in the dust. You are hired into a job, and you will remain in that job for the long haul. Lots of promising younger employees are finding jobs outside now that the economy is improving, leaving a lack of depth in the bench. Other employees that challenge the status quo and try to improve things are shown the door.

The compensation is woefully inadequate. Ownership/Management knows this, they have not responded appropriately. The message has always been that receiving a year end bonus and the health care make up for it but in my opinion the bonus and the health care do not balance the scale. There is a lot of communication regarding change and improvement however there is very little follow through. There is a lack of accountability throughout the building. Employees who work hard are occasionally rewarded with meager pay increases or title changes but are over worked in the process. A portion of upper management is often unprofessional when dealing with personnel matters.
