Pluspunten

- Popcorn Fridays, other employees were very nice and fun to be around. - Does understand that family issues come up (sick kids, etc...) - 3 weeks vacation after 5 years - Good resume builder in the manufacturing/automation industry

Minpunten

- Pay isn't up to par with industry standard along with the commission structure (which is also not very good and strangely done). Maybe put together a good bonus plan along with good pay and employees might stick around longer than 4 months. - Quality of products and technology is lacking BIG TIME. Hard to compete with other automation companies like Automation Direct, Red Lion, Omron, Maple, etc...when your products aren't up to par with their features. - Speaking of quality, I am not sure if the testing protocol needs to be changed, but this is one of the biggest issues here. You might sell 10 HMIs or PLCs and 3-5 of them will come back with defects. It's very frustrating to bring on a brand new customer, only for them to leave in a year because product doesn't work. If you want to gain 5 new customers and lose 10 and run your business that way go ahead I guess... - The "professional" training left a little to be desired. - The owner runs the show, including sales and customer service departments. He is a very talented engineer, but his people and marketing skills are lacking. He doesn't know how to treat employees with respect. - Mandatory 50 hour work week. Honestly this would be just fine typically, but the pay doesn't match up.

I am a degreed Engineer who graduated last year from an accredited university and was hired about a year ago as Sales Application Engineer and recently became the Marketing Engineer. I have been given many different opportunities to grow as a professional. I got to learn a lot about different aspects of industrial automation. I, personally, really like supportive and helpful environment that higher management has fostered over time. This is a really good opportunity as a fresh graduate to learn various aspects of corporate world ranging from Sales, Marketing, Engineering, to Project Management. Higher management never falls short in appreciating your efforts. I have been exposed to various aspects of the business to learn and grow. There are people always there to help you, be it related to office work or outside of office. The owner of the company loves to teach about Industrial Automation world as he is the pioneer in the field. He likes to also help his employees adapt and succeed in outside world and helps them lay out unique paths for them to lead with boldness. I have learnt a lot from him regarding not just Industrial Controls but all aspects of life, so can you! The work environment is very pleasant and gives you great sense of belonging.

Nothing to say- just better than working at some Massage center.

Minpunten

The people who run the company don't have a clue what they are doing. No one working there is qualified for the Job title they have. The work place is too ugly and the management don't even pay attention to maintain a clean washroom. Once in a while they go to colleges and hire fresh graduates and exploit them by promising work Visa sponsorship and Green card. Later they make them work for more than 50+ hours at very low pay and ask them to do technician and cleaning jobs. The half baked Quack production team will blame among themselves or other workers for their shortcomings and try to find enlightenment every month end. The other lower grade employees are rude and become very offensive when their mistakes are pointed. This company is backwards by at least 20 years in comparison to it's peers. The owner thinks he is a Big Shot and he owns a Multi billion dollar factory. Lol. They rework on a brand new product for 10 times before sending it to customer and claim they have best quality. TBH they don't even have a Quality department! Most of them are sticking with this company because they can't find job in a better place. If they find one, they ditch this job and go. No one is satisfied with their job and work place culture, you can check with any current and former employees. PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME IN THIS COMPANY AND SPOIL YOUR CAREER.
