Business Outlook
Pros
This is an older manufacturing company who is getting more contemporary everyday in their approach, systems, and processes. There is a solid vision with supporting strategies in place that will make this company $1B by 2020!
Cons
The company has done 6 new acquisitions in the past year and is growing fast. The culture is dynamic and moves quickly. This place only works well for professionals who like to be challenged and move fast.

Thank you for sharing your Sparton experience.
It is great to hear you are excited as we are about the 2020 strategy. We have come a very long way from the traditional manufacturing company we once were. It is with flexible employees who embrace challenges that allow us to expand our business. Please continue to let us know how we can keep employees challenged and appreciated as we move forward.
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.
