Pros

Good Engineering group, reasonable benefits, decent people. The Deleon Springs location is very rural with a sub tropical climate, typical of that part of Florida

Cons

The basic challenge to working at Sparton is the politics. Restructuring a division, that has been profitable for decades, makes no sense.

Pros

Cool projects. 9/80 schedule. Decent benefits.

Cons

Toxic management. Old boys club mentality. Burn out culture. Resistant to change. Unlimited PTO is not unlimited and you are made to feel guilty for using PTO and penalized for exceeding 20 days. Management targets workers and plays favorites. Open mocking of other employees based on knowledge they shouldnt have. Very clicky, kinda like high-school. Located and in the absolute middle of no-where Florida. Those that have been there a long time only stay there because they live near by. Under market value for salary. Care more about optics than productivity. Set unrealistic timelines, workers are penalized for not making them but management is never held to the same standard. Everyone plays the blame game instead of owning up to their actions.
