Pros

Opportunities to learn/advance Making products that help people Some coworkers are pretty cool

Cons

HR is nightmarish, will nickel-and-dime some employees but show favoritism to others. Lacking correlation between experience/performance and compensation New ideas and techniques generally aren’t implemented, even if they can increase productivity many employees are former criminals, some for violent crimes. Machine operators do a lot of the work but are not appreciated Speed limits around the plant are low and local police will hide in order to fine people going to work.

Thank you for providing feedback on your experience at SMC. Our organization provides a consistent and fair wage structure, whereby pay is based on demonstrated performance, combined with knowledge, skills and abilities. As part of our hiring process, a formal background check is conducted through a third party administrator for all new hires. Additionally, our Continuous Improvement program allows any employee to offer continuous improvement suggestions through the employee boards, located in each work area. Once submitted, ALL ideas are considered and evaluated, but of course, not all can be implemented. Employee appreciation is front and center through our Exceeding Expectations program which recognizes any individual going above and beyond their regular day-to-day responsibilities.
