You want to work here! - werkgeversreview Officer of the Company bij James Instruments

James Instruments has a flex starting time between 7-9:30am; so no need to worry about heavy traffic or bad weather. Health Insurance is provided by the company; for the employee and their family - It is PPO based, and includes Prescriptions & Dental coverage. Employees also have vision benefits. Vacation (or PTO) Time is good also; updated & increased this year. James has a relaxed work environment. The company also normally has 2 events/year; like a game at a Cubs Roof Top or a White Sox Suite, or even dinner at the Chicago City Winery. Bonuses are also provided to employees, and are based on the success of the company throughout the year. Overall... a good company to work for.

Being a smaller company, it can get busy at times, and OT is required during those periods. There is no Direct Deposit.

They pay for your health insurance 100% which is a positive. But you have to tell them your personal medical and prescription information in order to get it.

No one talks about what is going on with the company with each other. There is too much secrecy. The place is filled with solder fumes and the employees seem to enjoy it. They have daily 'huddles' which resembles communist Chinese work conditions. Everyone tells each other what they are doing that day but management already knows it and the employees do not benefit from this since all their jobs do not coincide. Advice: stay away from this place!
