Lightning Source

Is this your company?

Nice to work for if you don't care about advancing and don't mind being fired after a few years. - Quality Control Lightning Source Employee Review

Pros

Coworkers are friendly and helpful, and create a good work atmosphere. Generally relaxed dress code. Good benefits package.

Cons

Lower management and supervisors ignore employee concerns. Lower management may also take employee ideas and implement them without giving credit to the employee. They tend to fire experienced and veteran workers around the Nov-Dec holidays for tax purposes. Production floor contains mainly 6-month long temporary workers, which causes a lot of communication issues and inconsistencies. They reduce work staff and do not replace them, causing an overload of work for employees. Glass ceiling, most workers are not given a chance to advance to a higher position.

Pros

I was on the IT team which was exceptional; our team leadership & reputation was such that 1 associate was hired away in 18 years. This team pioneered Print On Demand (POD) technology and built & ran Amazon.com's first eBook platform for several years.

Cons

No particular concerns; management respected us to set and hit our goals

Pros

People are friendly enough, more days off since shifts are 12 hours

Cons

Overtime non-existent the last couple of years I was there. Business way down and they had no qualms sharing that information. Employee appreciation seemed to be much greater when I 1st started, not so much when I left.
