SMC reviews about "work place"

No profit sharing, health insurance is terrible to deal with.

Some of the people are not supportive

Managers with no people skills. Sweat shop work environment and adittude. No understanding for one another. Revolving door work place, skilled workers do not last long here.

Employees support each other when vicious leads harass you. Screaming degradation daily. Employee Mill thru temp agency

Most of the people in engineering are long time employee, not even with engineering degree, no culture, open communication, ethical values or openness. No employee voice is welcome. Most of the department head are micro managers. No sense how to treat human capital. Their dream is to become world class contract manufacturer in metals, plastics etc. but culture is so pathetic. IT'S CHEAP SWEAT SHOP!! People gets hired and fired all the time especially in the Quality department.

The pay scale is low with poor benefits and minimal to non-existent annual raises. Favoritism and bullying are a daily occurrence, unless you are one of the former Nypro employees who migrated there after that company got acquired. Instead of being commended for exceeding an expectation (other than a foolish award recommendation called a "red barn" that means absolutely nothing), the additional effort required to achieve this becomes part of your standard job description. This keeps occurring until it's almost impossible to meet their inflated expectations. They recently lost Philips Healthcare as a largest customer and made a hastily misguided purchase of Oval Medical Technologies, only to discover after the fact that the product lines weren't fully compatible. This, combined with financially overextending themselves with the purchase of their new Devens, MA facility caused their credit rating to drop. A very unhealthy, bureaucratic place to work.
