Not a good place to work
Production Planner / Master Scheduler (Former Employee) – Hauppauge, NY
Company has gone downhill. At one time was a growing company and employees were motivated to do their best. At one time, employees were rewarded with annual raises and Christmas bonuses. At one time, we were treated as valuable members of a team.
Several years ago, all of that stopped and motivation is non-existent.
Poor market presence
Rocky Mountain Regional Sales Manager (Current Employee) – Phoenix, AZ
The hardest part of the job was having to do everything on my own with no supervisor support. The people were nice but there was no training program
Slow Drone workplace
Manger of Information Technology (Current Employee) – Hauppauge, NY
Management is too focused on their own benefits. No accountability. Departments work as independent entities or against each other. No advancement or pay incentives (raises).
Poor work environment
Printed Circuit Design Manager (Former Employee) – Edgewood, NY
The management of this company has no vision of the future for itself or it’s employees. They produce nothing and OEM all their products from Korea and China.
Not a good workplace for the worker bee
Staff Accountant (Current Employee) – Hauppauge, NY
The management only cares about lining their own pockets and hasn’t handed out a raise to any of its workers in over 5 years. Do not work for this company if you value yourself as a hard worker and dedicated individual.
There is no Future
