Great company to work for in NE Ohio

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Company values, leadership stays true to their word. Lots of employees that have been with the company 20-25+ years. Lots of opportunities for lateral movement

Cons

Pay is below the market average for many positions if you're not in the Engineering or Marketing departments. Management is terribly slow to make decisions. Way behind the curve on technology, ERP system should have been implemented years ago. Too much reliance on home grown systems. Company prefers to do things the Swagelok way

Pros

Nothing much and need to buck-up in terms of competition.

Cons

- Lack of leadership/vision from the current CEO. - Sales are dropping within SIngapore - dependent on other areas (e.g. Brunei, Phillipines) to show volume sales. - Lack of multi-racial environment - Previous owner practice (only chinese race employment base) thus not creating much opportunities for other race. - Not much improvements since the last take over by the new CEO - long long way to go. - Weak in customer's approach.

Business Outlook

Pros

ESOP. Good training for unskilled workers.

Cons

Supervisors with zero experience write your reviews and are in charge of your pay raises. They will fire you for small infractions. They will bully you into working a 24/7 shift. No room for advancement after your initial training. The new health insurance plan they talk-up is a joke. Language barrier between the large amounts of Indians they employ. Unhelpful human resources department.
