Employees at Sanmina are great, management has a way of dismissing any sort of loyalty and or compassion towards the work force they have under them.

a great place to work till takeover. Good friends made.
Dry Film Operator (Former Employee), Derry, NH – July 17, 2012
Company started out as Hadco Corp. for more than 3/4 of time I worked there. Became Sanmina in 2010. My job would start out in the area I was assigned to for day /week. I learned every aspect of job in entire dept. I enjoyed working in the photo area the most. I worked with many great people who didn't mind taking the time to answer questions or willingness – more... to cross train you in other depatments. When Sanmina took over, the place went downhill. Watching everyones enthusiasm fade was very depressing . – less
