Pros

Controlled atmosphere, benefits are adequate .

Cons

Favoritism, nepotism and very sub par training matrix. Culture change from normal to liberal/political ideologies and terminology. Human Resouces is not who you go to for help with an issue with management . The work environment can be hostile if one needs to interact with others. People who are skilled for a leadership role, have time and time again been skipped over and been given to one of the LGBTQ community. Samtec associates with China and has no moral reason other than revenue. The F.B.I. raided the home base due to reports Samtec were selling product to hostile countries. Too much mental strain on employees across the board. If you are known to not embrace new WOKE ideology, you get treated harsher.

Pros

Good insurance. 5% 401k match. 7% of your gross goes in your 401k via profit share. Good amount of PTO. A lot of the people. Climate controlled. Clean environment.

Cons

Hourly pay too low to deal with their BS. Too much OT after promising none. Haven’t seen the plant manager in literally years. Production floor manager is full of it and plays favorites to the extreme. Unless you’re part of the clique, you’ll get nowhere. Instead of raises, we got board games for the break room. The restaurant in the building is gross and a joke. They preach that they’re “like a family”, but only because they want you working there for cheap. Should’ve never taken 12’s away just to mandate 10-20 hours of OT per week. No real recognition or appreciation ever.
