Chippewa Falls, WI

Former Employee – worked at TTM Technologies full-time for more than 7 years

ProsEasy work, some room to advance (though don't expect advancing into carpetland, just on the floor advancement), fairly well organized, co-workers were for the most part friendly.

ConsWork could get a little boring, depending on the job. Wages could be better, and raises are almost not worth your time. Most importantly, employees are treated like garbage. They could care less how long you have been there or how good a worker you are. Any opportunity to flex their superior supervisory muscles and they jump at the chance with threats. "Everybody is replaceable" was specifically said at on meeting. I don't know about you, but I refuse to work for somebody who feels that way.

Advice to Senior ManagementStart treating employees with respect. Be a little more flexible once in a while for those who are on mandatory overtime, especially the mandatory weekends. I mostly enjoyed my job, but I was tired of being pushed around and treated like a nobody. A bit more respect and a small wage increase and this is otherwise a 5 star company.

Los Angeles, CA

Former Employee – worked at TTM Technologies full-time for more than 10 years

ProsThere is nothing good about working for this company

ConsThis company expected us to work 30+ hours overtime, then laid people off because we made too much money. They also drove my plant into the ground. They sent 100+ jobs to China. They took any order worth any money and gave it to Santa Ana. We were then given all the junk Santa Ana did not want to build. One Santa Ana employee was allowed to make changes to computers which took down 5+ other departments and that was ok with management.

Advice to Senior ManagementEntire board should be replaced for mismanagement.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Santa Ana, CA

Former Employee – worked at TTM Technologies full-time for more than a year

ProsExpect 8-5 hours. Good learning experience if you have an interest in that electronics. The santa ana division was always safe from layoff fevers.

ConsWas very underworked, you can only browse the web for so much. The company is extremely corporate, meaning unless you're a manager, you're a 2nd class citizen. No room for growth. Come here for a job, go somewhere else for a career.

Advice to Senior Managementstop allowing people who have no business making big IT decisions make them. Just because they're a buddy from the company that was acquired, or you thought your secretary had a great idea doesn't make it acceptable.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Redmond, WA

Current Employee – been working at TTM Technologies

Prosit was closed to my house. it was a relax working environment. everyone was friendly, and easy to work with

Conssupervisors and managers were not good enough to lead workers. Some departments was so easy to let employees work overtime with no product

Advice to Senior ManagementMore strictly on overtime hours, make sure no people allow to show up for overtime if they had no approved

Santa Ana, CA

Current Employee – been working at TTM Technologies

ProsTTM offers good pay and is led by mgmt who knows how to achieve profitability in a difficult market. They have an annual sales conference that is pretty entertaining and offers employees a chance to mingle and learn about the latest product developments.

ConsMiddle management is poor and company mentality is not customer service focused. The company is always right and never willing to be flexible for customers. TTM typically prices their products higher then the competition so it is not always easy to secure business in this very price competitive market. Asian markets are really hurting the big North American PCB shops.

Advice to Senior ManagementPut the customer first! Offer better development tools to your sales people. Keep a close eye on middle level mgmt.

London, England (UK)

Current Employee – been working at TTM Technologies

ProsFriendly environement, the work or the job profile was fantastic and challenges were faced on regular basis. Great place to work with challenges.

ConsTiming does not suits because at times they ask you to come at 10pm and then again the very next afternoon.

Advice to Senior ManagementLeadership was good in terms of official purpose but not that much good in terms of personal reasons. Hence it is a moderate company to work.

Former Employee – worked at TTM Technologies

ProsGreat technology
Good products
Excellent, dedicated work force
Financially strong and should continue to be so in the near future

ConsContinue to close factories in the United States
TTM is much more interested in expanding China operations, which is leaving the US employees in limbo

Advice to Senior ManagementNeed to make final decisions on whether to keep operating in the US or just give up and close the remaining facilities.

ConsSales group not so great to work with.
No career path.

Sales group has their own agenda.

Former Employee – worked at TTM Technologies

ProsIt was one of the best facilities to work in. it is null and void now because of closure of facility.

Consthere really isn't much. sometimes, II wished they had put out more formal skills training (state / national recognized certs) that can be used elsewhere.

Advice to Senior Managementclosing the place is a big mistake. Your competition loves you and you will most likely lose some customers because of it
