Pros

Nothing. Not a single item is positive at Swagelok. Do not find out the hard way, please !

Cons

Everything. Did go to college to be required to wear a gas station uniform complete with your FULL name, first & last on display ? Most of the employees prior experience is Applebees, or Wal-Mart. All unskilled and iuneducated. All employees know they ate expendablevand your last day can bevtodsy. Pay is miserable. Overtime is mandatory with penalties for not work in it. The Idiot supervisors they keep for very short times ate stupid. immature and habe no experience with people. Racism and sexism run very deep from the CEO on down. If you're not white or male them don't bother applying. Even if you do get hired you'll never be promoted. HR is incompetent and composed of former typists. Pay is poor and time off is highly restricted. Most emoyees OWE money when they wisely depart. You have been warned ! Do not even think of working at Swagelok. Better opportunities abound everywhere else. The buffoons who stagnate rewarded by how much petty gossip try can report on each other. Stay out of it. We all know what gossip does and it is never good. The invpmeyeny shift managers believe all gossip without question and unfairly penalize people stupid enough to stay. Shift managers are complete incompetents and belong at Burger King. . You have been WARNED. Stay away at all cost. DO NOT work at Swagelok. Don't learn the hard way.

Pros

Free pop and coffee, free fruit in cafeteria. Some really decent and fun to work with co workers, depending on the department you're placed in. Free catered lunches for good performance.

Cons

Several people that work here have mental issues they will try to sabotage you and/or your work. Every day is a soap opera of drama, dirty looks and infighting. The abuse starts immediately with the trainer, they treat you like you're a joke and stupid. Management makes promises they don't keep, and don't make any plans to have a life because you'll be on mandatory overtime and weekends all the time, with little to no notice before hand. The culture here is toxic, and they expect you to work like a machine. All they care about is 'numbers' and they will ride you constantly about it, every day.

Pros

None now. Racism and nepotism run rampant.

Cons

Was a great place to work until about 06 when all the upper management changed and the independent distributor purge happened. Then it became a joke. They talk about culture and values but they are racist and cut throat.
