Alicat Scientific

I enjoyed working here. Training in sales orders weren’t great but talking directly to admins helped a lot. Monday through Wednesday were usually the busiest days. Thursday and Friday you were expected to work on different company projects. No real micromanaging, besides weekly meetings with your manager. If you keep up your numbers and conversions then you’re set to succeed. Low stress levels after full training. If you fail at training you’re fired. Besides that, I really enjoyed working here. I would’ve stayed but I’m afraid the position can be handed over to an AI agent in the near future. The pay was competitive in the area but due to increased responsibilities, and I was performing higher than many fellow colleagues, I felt the compensation wasn’t enough for my willingness to work and perform more than my fellow colleagues.

Alicat is a weird place to work.The work is easy,interesting and fun....however...They have a very clique like culture.Even if an employee does great work,they will lay them off.There is no loyalty for hardworkers.Either you meet the clique criteria or you will be let go eventually.I would not recommend Alicat with the current management and since the production manager has been there over 25 years....dont even bother applying.Look elsewhere for longevity,fairness and career growth.What the other person said about the overtime is correct as well.They talk about workers so bad,it really is a bad culture.Even the management gets in on the berating backbiting and toxic smear campaigns.You have been warned.Good luck on your job hunt.

Alicat Scientific is constantly hiring in general production, and will then lay off people once orders slow. High turnover over the past three years of people who had been employed for years. Managers frequently talk negatively about employees to other employees. Overtime is presented as optional, but you will be bad talked behind your back frequently by managers if you do not work it. Required parts are made in-house but are forever backed up, so if you are working in calibration, casing, inspection, or shipping you will be under a lot of pressure to get orders out with limited time before shipping pickup.

If you’re into supply chain/business development and entrepreneurship this is a great place to build a foundation and learn about a lot of stuff that goes into building a developing business and everyone that works there is really nice and down to earth, if you’re into electronics and science Alicat is the best at teaching it’s eager employees that show interest in any and all the different departments. The pay is fair 

It’s ever growing. If you’re a “snowflake,” don’t expect much follow through on support of closure on anything. You either excel, become overwhelmed, or a cog in the machine. 

With more direct and confident communication. Backed by work ethic and beneficial ideas to bring to the table; you can absolutely do a lot. Just don’t have too much of a voice or you will be removed. It never makes sense why but the company will make the attempt. 

Alicat has a great company culture, you will make many friends here both in your department and across them. They are also willing to train you from the ground up, making Alicat a good launching point to move on to another company later on.

Unfortunately this comes with pay on the low side of the scale. While there are quarterly bonuses based on company growth, it would be far nicer to simply receive a raise and get paid what most the workers are worth.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Go ahead and work here if you want to get fired with no notice after they tell you you’re doing great work! 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything. Management is incapable of communicating their exact expectations, and they just recently laid off a bunch of people, so  no job security

There is no structure. Upper management is so results driven they don't care how the company gets there. The people are awesome but it's absolute chaos. It's not unusual for managers to make blue or really off color comments. Everything is a rush. Training is optional at best. Don't bother bringing past experience to the job. They have their own way of doing things.

This company has very poor upper management, no direction and is on a steady decline. The benefits and PTO are the only good thing about working here. Pay is subpar and leadership is incredibly out of touch with day to day employees; some board members have no idea what they are doing and wouldn't be able to work anywhere else.
