Sparton reviews about "training"

low pay and respect as well as bad management.

Weak Supply Chain Leadership. No team cohesiveness between departments. Lackadaisical approach to Compliance (to only give the impression of doing it cosmetically). Little to no training. Toxic work environment.

Management and HR are horrible!! Hr isnt on the employees side, reported my manager to hr for discrimination and i was fired the week after. They work together in a negative way. Crazy overtime!! No appreciation!! Don't know how to treat good employees!

Location, food options, and lack of training

They pay too little for the type of labor they expect. Every where else pays more Orlando, Sanford, DeLand all offer $14+for electronic Assembler. Your only going to get 10.50 once your allowed to take the solder certification. They promise advancement and they feed you all these lies of ways to level up (more pay)with their point system but there are rules that prevent you from earning them. Like education gets you points but it has to be what Sparton pays for or you need 14 point to advance to level 2 but you still can't level up if you don't have 3 years in manufacturing. There is no room for growth they put up job positions for legalities but they already have the person they want picked (you hear rumors of who got the position before interviews finish and they really do get it) and you have to work there many years before you can be considered to move up. There is a lot of favoritism rules only applies to people that are not favored by Management.

The Compliance part of this job is VERY complicated. Sparton continuously hires people in at Buyer II with no experience, and has Buyer I people training them. This is only one example of the discord the management sows. Procurement Dept has had management issues since at last 2000. Personal experience: 5 Managers and 3 Directors in less than 2 years (2022 - 2024, last manager "moved to a non-managerial roll" after reports of verbal abuse and manager position eliminated in favor of two Supervisors reporting directly to the (new) Director. One Supervisor quit within 3 months. A year later (2025) after high staff attrition, the remaining Supervisor position is being eliminated in favor of a new Manager.
