If it was not for the pay this would not be a good place to work
Injection Molding Machine Operator (Former Employee), Greensboro, NC – April 12, 2013
Pros: the pay
Cons: bad management, having to watch your back all the time
If you are college educated then Tyco is not the place to waste your time with thinking you will go far because you will not! There is a very serious buddy system here. No one does all of their job duties. Micro-Vu persons does not do their checks. If you are educated and real good at catching bad parts then everyone will have it in for you and will – more... try and get you fired! – less

Lots of pressure
Tyco Employee (Current Employee), Lithia Springs – April 10, 2013
Pros: flexible schedule for full time employees
Cons: huge volume of work
very different from other companies. However, management is pretty new and trying to improve lots of things which is a good thing.
Fast production environment - so you must keep up or leave. Lots of things to learn if you willing to.

people were nice to work with and it was a fun enviroment.
Senior Shipping Clerk (Former Employee), Menlo Park, ca – March 7, 2013
Pros: great benifits and free lunches
Cons: when there wasn't much to do it would getting very boring.
A typical day at work for me was starting the day off by loading the trailers with full pallets of boxes that were already shipped in the system. After that I would set up pallets for the next shipments. When that was done I would go to my computer and start shipping product. When I was done with my shipments I would help with pulling orders, cycle – more... count, stocking, checking in product, receiving and help other co-workers in their departments if they needed help.

I learned how to do everything a certain way to make my job easier. There were many things I learned about how some of my co-workers did their jobs in their departments so I could help out if I didn't have anything to do and if they needed my help.

The management was awsome they were always there to help you with something if you didn't know what to do. When you made a good decision to do something a certain way and if they liked how you did it they would tell you good job.

My co-workers that I worked with were cool. They made everyday enjoyable and a fun experience. Everyone was willing to help you out if you needed help with anything.

For me there really there wasn't anything that was to hard for me to do.

The most enjoyable part of the job was when there was alot of work to do because then the day would go by faster. – less

Productive, never a moment to just breath
Quality Assurance Supervisor (Former Employee), N Richland Hills, TX – March 5, 2013
Pros: insinitive's. if you had idea's that could save the company money, you were compensated well. i did that a # of times.
Cons: the hiding behind corners & not letting people know in advance of the bankruptcy filed.
I learned alot & very willing to teach. They sent me to college for extra work skill. Management tough, always like they were watching you , just waiting for you to mess up. but as very positive me, I knew I was doing my job well, I was working @ my best, so as far as me " why worry?" We did do alot as far as always within the inspection department – more... celebrate each & everyone's birthday, the company always had a huge Christmas party & I must say again " if you do your job well, they make it known to ALL employee's what you did & what an asset you were". – less
