ABB Optical Group

A typical day at work involves fast-paced order fulfillment using RF scanners, pallet jacks, and meeting strict quotas. While the work itself is straightforward and can help you build skills in efficiency, time management, and warehouse operations, the overall experience is heavily impacted by poor leadership.

Management at ABB Optical Group shows clear favoritism, lacks accountability, and often comes across as unprofessional and disorganized. Decisions are inconsistent, and concerns from employees are frequently ignored or brushed off, which creates frustration across the team.

Human Resources also appears to show little to no concern for the wellbeing of employees. Issues that are brought forward are not taken seriously, and there is a general lack of support when it comes to workplace concerns, which further contributes to a negative environment.

The workplace culture is toxic and often filled with unnecessary drama. Instead of promoting teamwork and respect, there tends to be tension between employees and management, making it difficult to stay motivated long-term.

The hardest part of the job is dealing with the management style, lack of fair treatment, and limited support from HR. The most enjoyable part is gaining hands-on warehouse experience and working with coworkers who try to make the best of a difficult environment.

Benefits are also disappointing and do not effectively meet the needs of employees, especially considering the demands of the job and the location. Overall, this is not a place I would recommend for long-term employment unless significant changes are made in leadership, HR practices, and workplace culture.


For being a lab position there is quite a bit of drama in especially within upper management. It leads to different departments being incapable of working together due to feuds amongst mangers. People in the lower levels where I worked had a pretty good culture though. It’s pretty hard to move up in this company as well. In my experience and many other co workers we were promised promotions and raises at our individual quarterly reviews and did not see either come to fruition for at least 6 months and that’s if you’re really pushing and asking about it daily. Unfortunately a lot of the good managers in my time there who care about work culture were iced out and quit. This job in general has a very high turnover rate you’ll have a completely different staff working around you in only a year. The overtime was a big hassle too. It doesn’t matter what your home life if like they don’t care you are required to work 50-60 hours during peak seasons.  On the flip side during slow seasons when there’s no work you still will not be able to leave we were told to “look busy” you basically just swept the same spots on the floor over and over for hours. This job has the potential to be enjoyable it’s easy, mindless work for pretty ok pay and the 401k benefits are pretty good but the culture has really ruined it. 

A typical day here means constant uncertainty about your schedule. Ten hour shifts are often forced with little or no notice, and management enforces a rigid points-based attendance system that punishes employees instead of supporting them. Supervisors focus more on micromanaging than leading, and there is no respect for work life balance. If you have kids, health concerns, or simply expect a stable 40 hour week, this job will make life difficult.

Yes, the pay structure allows you to earn a bit more through cross training and performance bonuses, but it comes at the cost of your well being. Morale is low, turnover is sky high, and management seems more interested in tracking numbers on spreadsheets than treating people with respect.

If you are considering applying, think carefully. The warehouse work itself is simple, but the culture is broken. Unless you are prepared to sacrifice your personal life for short term pay incentives, this is not a long term place to build a career.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?

The benefits are incredible and most of the employees are really kind and fun to work with.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The workload and pace are unrealistic.  I spoke with my manager—a nice guy—and he kept telling me “this is not normal, hang in there.”  After 3-months I realized I was being lied too and felt that I was also played.  Unless you want to “run” all day long—walking normally is discouraged—keep looking.

I worked remotely, which I loved. The job was relatively easy because I knew what was expected of me. The managers give clear expectations for each role.
Once a week, I had a one-on-one meeting with my manager, which I enjoyed. I had direct quality time with my boss. I could see my progress and address any opportunities promptly. 
The most enjoyable part of the job was interacting with the team.
The company's culture is founded on respect and celebrating milestones, whether individually or collectively.
