Pros

Work/life balance, Benefits, PTO, Pay Rate

Cons

Behind the scenes, it's a free-for-all among lab managers. Quality between labs is inconsistent. Production pushes left me with the feeling that Transcat aims for quantity over quality. Technicians were highly encouraged to do a better job for the customers that had better contracts. The manager of my lab took advantage of state COVID-19 research and development grants to buy RF calibration equipment instead if purchasing them on the company dime during the peak of the pandemic in 2020. My manager walked around bragging about it. The equipment wasn't even set up by the time I left mid 2021.

Pros

Fast progression and pay raises to those that put for the effort. Fantastic management that works with you when you need time off or any questions about work.

Cons

The mobile team is very active, if that’s not something you’re ready for it can get very tiring.

Pros

Under the old leadership and CEO this company was slowly growing a great work atmosphere where everyone felt like they were contributing the team. We had great benefits package and leadership who listened to any ideas or concerns we had. Small benefits that Field Technicians experienced were encouraged by management to help your work/home life more tolerable.

Cons

Under the NEW CEO and CFO everything is completely centered around the revenue cycle and percentages of margins. All extra small benefits that help with work/home life are taken away. We are being told we do bring in revenue and there fore not at the forefront. They have began nickel and diming all expenses and timesheets. Any atmosphere of teamwork and welcome atmoshpere is slowly being erouded. Customer are complaining of the new systems being placed stating all the advantages that made us different are gone. There is little to no upward movement available for anyone in the field work side of the company.
