Pros

The best pro is the fact that we shutdown for Christmas and New Year's every year. There is not a lot of positive other than that in my opinion.

Cons

At one time this was a very elite company with great perks and benefits that made it a privilege to work here. Now, it's just your run of the mill manufacturing facility. They value engineers over all else so unless you have an engineering degree then you won't advance at all. They post positions however everything is pretty much already spoken and they are only posting to say they abide by the rules. You can look around very quickly and determine who will advance and who will not. It's still an old boys club.

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.
