SWAGELOK Employer Reviews

...it was all work no play which is ok with me cause im a hard worker

Ok workload. Lack of advancement towards individuals. Management left something to be desired.

Third shift aux operator. Attention to detail is required. co-operative management. excellent co-workers

A usual day at work consists of counting tool parts and disseminating the data in the computer. Operating a tugger, which is a machine that carries 4 carts, driving around the plant to pick up and drop off packages. The most enjoyable part of the job is that time flies and the days go quickly.

I don't care what all of you say about Swagelok when I was there
I had it good. Benefits/401K/ESOP/HEALTH INS/
I was not a prefect employee I had my ups and downs but I know when I came to work I loved every minute of it. Yes it was 12 hours shift in MICRO FACIELITY in HIGHLAND HEIGHTS from 6pm to 6am night shift . It was a team work and fun to work – more... especially with my trainee . I was there for 7 years and never had a bad day or had fight with my boss or co workers or that I had to watch my back like some of you say here .I worked on GILDAMAISTERS GM67 AND PORTA sometimes on G200 . They send me to school for CNC in TRY C. GOT MY DIPLOMAS for speeds feeds trigs programing etc. Management was great and I know when I was there if I had question they have a answer next day.
I started my first day in Swagelok in WILLOUGHBY Plant 3rd shift and my trainer was good to me never had a problem.
Lunch was long 30min even 10 min breaks .
lunch room full of fruits bagels and soda machine was there and of course coffee machine all free.
And now reason why I quit was 24/7 shift got to me. I couldn't fall a sleep sometimes so it did not work with them so I left well I was young and dumb. other then that if you wona place to build your future SWAGELOK is the right place. – less

manfacturing sector needs some updating. Management is in total control of annual pay.

I learned alot on fitting machines.
Management was pretty easy to get along with.
The co-workers were good people for the most part.
The hardest part of the job was trying to get used to third shift,especially 10 and 12 hour shifts.
The most enjoyable part was working the poeple.

come to work go to your machine get feed back from the previous shift to see how its running then begin to take over and start getting out jobs according to the customer order with good quality

a typical day at work was like elementary school, you come into a very unprofessional enviroment, Management looks right at u and dont speak to you,and barely speaks back. They have you attend a 15 minute early meeting everyday about metrics,which is fine however its basically letting you know how much money their company made the day before and how – more... much they're looking for the under paid and mistreated to make them today...especially the temporary associates..you're their 15 mins early no pay,and they dont want You to be late or miss a day. it seems like a slave farm but they pretend to have ethics and integrity..They work you like a slave they want you to do 5 or 6 things at a time and still pack 700 parts in an hour..not to speak on the machines are broke down everyday all day and they expect to produce.HR or management was never introduced to you..ou only reconized them because of their white shirts..but any coworker from anywhere that you never seen in your life could come an lightweight repremand you..that company has some real re-evaluating to do..they have indians train you..despite the language barriers. I learned alot because i had to make myself learn it..or ask people who had nothing to do w management,cause management sits in the cafeteria all day. – less

i ran a cnc machine call index,i learned how to operate,change tools,make adjustments and do some setups.
my co-workers are friendly and helping when i need help.
the hardest part of my job was setups when it was a big setup.
management was understanding.
the most enjoyable part of my job was making high quality parts for the company

A typical day at work consist of me putting a cart on my Bulkpicker. I then take 24 orders place them on my cart and drive around picking parts. I pack the orders and fill out the paperwork and place the orders accordingly. When doing my job I have learned that Swagelok is a great company that produces many valves, and other parts that customers need. – more... My co-workers are very helpful, positive, and hardworking. The hardest part of the job is being able to produce what is expected of you everyday. We have a certain goal to reach at the end of everyday and sometimes it is obtainable and sometimes it is not so easy. I enjoy my co-workers. – less

Swagelok is a company that is very much in order. The company has much to offer their employees. The company is very clean and productive. They offer great benefits for their employees.

Swagelok is a good solid company to work for on a daily basis, if you are happy and content knowing that the dept you work in is the dept you will stay in. Rather than move thier associates to desired fields they will bring in unskilled temps to fill those positions.

12 hour workday
learned to operate cnc machine
management was typical
co-workers were great
hardest part was hours
most enjoyable was working

I learned to stay busy loaded machines learned of parts large and small benefits were great management were very understanding and helpful.the most enjoyable part of the job was staying busy.

I like working at Swagelok. The hours, the people, and work atmosphere was good. It was a easy job to me, I got the hang of working there pretty fast. I like the fact that when I worked there they was a trainer to teach me how to run machines and how to use the computer data base. Also after training my Trainer became a friend and if I ever needed help – more... I was always able to ask for it. The only reason I left this job is because it took up all my time. My schedule was simple wake up, eat, get dress and go to work, come home and sleep and repeat this everyday. I felt like I had no life cause I didn't have time to do extra things outside of work due to the fact that I will be to tired to do anything. – less

This company utilizes temps like slaves. They have no intention of hiring most temp for permeant positions. The founder of Swagelok was very conservative. The company still operates like Ronald Reagan was still President. If you have a choice as a technician or professional between Swagelok and anouther company, think twice before you accept an offer.
