I found this job to be physically demanding
Production Support (Former Employee), Owego, NY – October 25, 2012
Pros: they paid us for our lunch time.
Cons: i felt they were dishonest with me
A typical day at work here consisted of jumping immediately into overdrive as I had to first go through the process of doing an inventory of used drills and had to physically open each box of drills to verify the counts and make sure the proper size drills were put into the right casings and make out the purchase orders to be turned into purchasing. – more... Then I had to quickly tear down the used drill kits, throw out the last used drills, save the reusable ones in their respective casings and set these drills aside for the next days inventory. I also had to build up new drill kits to be used immediately out on the drilling floor. I also learned that it didn't pay to allow myself to become overwhelmed, because being one person, I did all I was physically capable of doing and I gave it my all. Management was so-so at this place. I was most often having to hunt down my manager to get him to sign the purchase orders before I could turn them into purchasing and I was under the pressure of having to have them turned in by a certain time and no later. They made people permanent that were falling asleep on the job and I found this to be extremely disturbing as I was told numerous times that their intentions were to make me a permanent employee but I was kept at a temporary contract status. They had some people working at the temporary status for up to 2 years before letting them go. I loved working with the people there and found my job enjoyable in that regard. The hardest part of my job was knowing I was doing my best and being told by management that they were going to hire me but not seeing it happen. The most enjoyable part of my job was that I was able to meet the physical demands of supplying drills for all 3 work shifts. – less

A productive work day every day
Production Specialist 5 (Current Employee), Huntsville, AL – October 22, 2012
Pros: 4 wks of vacation and 2 wks of sick leave
Cons: the unsecurity of having a job to go to
As to date work is slow. You go in to do your job and dont know if there is going to be one to do. We are sent home alot. This is difficult. I have a family I have to care for. I enjoy the people coworkers and management. They are like a family to me. I have been there most of my life but I need a dependable and secure job.

Great Place to work Five stars across the board Overall rating five stars
Quality Inspector (Former Employee), Huntsville, AL – September 18, 2012
Pros: benefits
a typical day at work was having a group meeting with the Quality Supervisor about the work that was needed for the day. I learned alot about organization and how things operate and how people have compassion for one another. Sanmina Sci is one of the best places I have ever worked in my work experience. My co workers were very helpful and friendly. – more... Not a place with alot of drama. People worked as a team. My Supervisor was very professional and very helpful to me and my co workers. The benefits were excellent as well. Sick time was accumulated and could be used when needed. I give Sanmina Sci Five Stars all the way across for everything. – less

Quality Inspector
Quality Inspector (Former Employee), Pleasant Prairie, WI – August 5, 2012
Pros: position status
Cons: they would not give me a day off when my brother died so i quit.
Inspecting circuit boards and fixing the issues by soldering or shutting down the line. I learned that i can solder and that i enjoy sitting at a desk. Management was awesome there cause there were not many QA's. My co workers helped a lot by teaching me tricks for soldering.The hardest part was when i worked 5am-5pm six days a week. Then they took – more... away our 30 min lunch. The most enjoyable part was the money to be honest. – less

I enjoyed working there alot. The only problem I had was with the temporary service.
Floor Tech (Former Employee), Huntsville, AL – July 4, 2012
Pros: enjoyable supervisors, co-workers and job.
Cons: few workers in other shifts were slackers. main con was working for the temp service.
I was working for Sanmina SCI for 10 months through a temp service. I was working second shift with one other fellow, doing floor maintenance work. I didn't rate compensation, job security or work life balance because being under the temp service, I didn't have those perks yet. My colleague I was working with did and they seemed fine but I'm not able – more... to have an opinion on those 3 elements.

Another note, my supervisor at the time listened to problems or suggestions. It was an all around good place to work. The only reason I left was because of still being a temporary after almost a year. I wasn't getting any benefits or any perks because of being with the temp service. The only thing positive still being temp was getting paid every week where-as permanents was paid bi-weekly. – less

fast paced environment
Production operator (Former Employee), Port Glasgow – January 8, 2013
Pros: good rate of pay.
Cons: downturn in business resulting in reduced hours.
A typical day would involve getting into the building and having 5 minutes to get prepared to start the days work. In most cases this would involve cable cutting, cable prep, cable manufacture and testing. I learned that meeting deadlines were a team effort which in turn allowed orders to be processed on time or earlier than originally agreed between – more... the client and the company. As with all businesses management dealt with all aspects of the company and orders which we processed in order to meet a customer deadline. My co-workers were great people to work alongside in the factory as well as good friends outside of work. The hardest part of the job was the manufacturing processes as at times the parts did not always fit and we had to find a way to make it possible. The most enjoyable part of the job was the satisfaction of getting the orders completed by the deadline or earlier. – less
