Thank you for taking time to record your experience at Sparton. We are pleased that you enjoyed the many fringe benefits we offer. We do offer competitive health benefits, Paid Time Off, Paid Holidays, and a very strong 401k Program (including Matching). Some of our facilities do have limited opportunity for vertical advancement because of their smaller size. As a result, we are continuing to invest in learning opportunities for employees to grow and development in their current roles and to further broaden their knowledge. We encourage employees to have open dialogue with their manager on their career aspirations and to partner on their future goals. In regards to your comment on over-time; It is not unusual for a manufacturing company to experience over-time from time-to-time or during peak seasons. Many of our employees like the additional compensation this over-time provides but for those who don't, we encourage them to work with their supervisor on other arrangements. We wish you much success in your future opportunities.

Pros

Cool projects. 9/80 schedule. Decent benefits.

Cons

Toxic management. Old boys club mentality. Burn out culture. Resistant to change. Unlimited PTO is not unlimited and you are made to feel guilty for using PTO and penalized for exceeding 20 days. Management targets workers and plays favorites. Open mocking of other employees based on knowledge they shouldnt have. Very clicky, kinda like high-school. Located and in the absolute middle of no-where Florida. Those that have been there a long time only stay there because they live near by. Under market value for salary. Care more about optics than productivity. Set unrealistic timelines, workers are penalized for not making them but management is never held to the same standard. Everyone plays the blame game instead of owning up to their actions.
