To me this place is a complete joke. A very bad joke. And it's only getting worse. - Primary Machine Operator Level II Swagelok Employee Review

Pros

There are no pros. When you start you have to start as a temp. They tell you 12 months. Then stretch that out for as long as then can. Until you're ready quit.

Cons

The pay is here sucks. And the raises aren't that great. They have a set up man and team coordinator in most departments. Worst idea this company came up with. Setup men are only snitches. Team coordinators are super lazy. The only way to make it at swagelok is go kiss management back side. If you're a good butt kisser. You'll do fine. You don't have to be a people person. Or even good at your job. Just tell on people and life at swagelok will be great.

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.
