Cons

Not enough resources to tackle the inflow of projects caused conflicting priorities.

Pros

Employees are committed to the success of the company. They are valued and treated with respect. The company affords employees with the flexibility that allows them to achieve their goals and maintain a healthy work life balance. Changes are happening under the new CEO, with vision and drive. Co-workers are friendly and treat you like family.

Office environment is a little dated.

Advice to Management

Cross department collaboration could use some improvement. Team building will help with efficiency.

Pros

Decent paycheck, constantly busy, overtime, no uniforms, lockers provided, good Christmas luncheons, Bonus checks at the end of the year.

Cons

No one understands anything written or spoken in the American language. Most employees came from another country. Group leader is not friendly, doesn’t know how to manage the line she runs properly and has a terrible way of talking to people and to her boss. Many people are jealous of others and watch what other people are doing when they should be focused on their own work. Cheating on yearly safety training tests (...

Pros

Wonderful coworkers, strong performing company, very committed to best serving its staff and being an industry leader. Very nice facility, great emphasis on a work-life balance. Management is very skilled in their respective fields, employees genuinely seem to enjoy what they do and the longevity of staff members speaks to the company's core success-based focus : its people

Cons

The lunch room has limited vending options and the machines are not updated to allow debit card transactions. There should be more recognition and celebration of employees (e.g. monthly birthday/anniversary company gatherings with cake)

Advice to Management

Keep up the great work but never get complacent. Try to innovate ways to truly delve into the strengths of all employees and allow them to flourish all the while feeling invested in for their contributions to the whole.

I've worked for PCTEL for several years and have had the opportunity to work in different areas of the company. This has allowed me to learn many new things and help advance my career

Cons

Need to shift some of the focus from tactical to strategic

Advice to Management

Given the size of the company it affords young people the ability to learn more in a few years than they might learn at a larger company in a short period of tome. Continue to enhance the learning experience for employees.

Pros

Great benefits and training opportunities .I've been able to learn the business, take classes, and grow my areas of responsibility. Collaborative work environment--lots of smart people who work well together. Exciting work on new technologies, and entering some new markets as well.

Cons

Small-to-medium-sized company, so career paths within the company are mixed--but they give you opportunities when they are available and support their long-term employees.

Advice to Management

Continue to build on new technology opportunities.
