Pros

Clean plants and friendly, hard-working staff coworkers. Developed an internal training program, which was robust. Rarely could use external training opportunities.

Cons

No growth potential- Swagelok regularly hires from the outside and promotes these direct hires over staff and managers who have worked for Swagelok for years.

Pros

Friendly coworkers, lots of holidays off, year end shutdown.

Cons

Low pay. Lots of office politics. Your merit increase is based on how well you are liked - not how well you perform. If you don’t fit the Swagelok mold you will have a hard time advancing. It’s almost looked down upon to be an external hire.
