Well managed and good environment...
Printed Circuit Board Inspector (Former Employee), Norman, OK – March 20, 2013

The facility had good management that was engaged in ensuring smooth operations. The facitlity was up to date with machinery, cafeteria, and fitness center. The hours and duties were well structured but were extremely tedious and had little to no change in the duties throughout the day.

Too many hours
Machine Operator (Former Employee), Berea, KY – March 10, 2013
Pros: lunch breaks, benefits
Cons: long neverending hours
This job began at 4pm and ended at 4:30am. I worked 82 hours a week and had to use vacation days to take days off at work. I learned how to quality check all my parts quickly. I worked alone. The hardest part of the job was the hours, the best part was the benefits.

Very productive place to work, and made great money.
Finish Grinder Operator (Former Employee), Berea, KY – September 29, 2012
Pros: great benefits. great rate of pay.
Cons: no time off.
Starting at 5pm and getting off at 5am.
Grinded strut rods to smaller diameters.

Management was fun. By far the best supervisor, and team leader I have ever had.

I learned how to changeover the machine to smaller or larger diameters. How to change a blade. How to dress the wheels inside the grinders. Change wheels speeds to ensure more production – more... and decrease in quality. Or slow speeds to make quality higher, and lower production rates.

Co-workers were easy to get along with, fun people to work with.

Hardest part of the job was standing on your feet for 12 hours a day, and doing it 7 days a week.

Most enjoyable part was running the line itself. I absolutely loved it. – less

Excellent product line
General Manager/Director of Marketing (Former Employee), Atlanta, GA – April 9, 2012
Pros: excellent benefits and working conditions.
Cons: can be slow to make major decisions.
Great potential due to high quality products. During my tenure we introduced the "Ultravision" line of projection television that became a benchmark in the industry. Sadly, the company's marketing efforts did not always live up to the products being offered.

Consistent rotation of Japanese managers made consistency hard to achieve.
