Great products and team, but pay could improve - werkgeversreview National Sales Representative bij AudioControl

Passionate company with a great American Made Product! AudioControl products are for enthusiasts who generally take a little more than average time to learn what equipment is available. For both the car and home stereo markets, these products are known as signal processors such as equalizers, crossovers and special products. These are niche products sold through specialty distribution as opposed to mass distribution. An increasing part of the company's business is custom home theater and multi-room audio systems.

Smaller company that runs lean and mean so there is not an abundant supply of middle management positions to enter the company at.

Wonderful team of people to work with, continuous improvement plan pays out several hundred dollars of bonuses usually four times a year because the company has been steadily growing the whole time I've been there. If you have a passion for audio electronics, this can be a wonderful place to work, where your skills may be needed in multiple roles and you really feel like an important part of a team. Great if you like to take ownership and pride in things and feel like you make an impact. Absurdly cheap health insurance for a single person at least, $8-40 per month! Many opportunities for overtime if you'd like to earn extra doing longer days or come in on Saturdays.

Pay is often not the best here compared to other industries, maybe even other companies within audio electronics specifically, which has cost the company some of its best and brightest during my time there. Build-to-order nature of the business can create stress as we try to ship products quickly to satisfy customers. Lack of training for product builders combined with fairly frequent turnover, lots of temp hires who stay less than a year. New production floor manager doesn't understand electronics or a lot of our products, leading them to make uninformed calls on what work should be done and who gets promoted or given raises. If you're not particularly passionate about audio, and just want a decent electronics technician job, you should probably look elsewhere so you can find better pay. If you are passionate about audio, it can be a lot of fun working here.
