Banner Engineering

By far my favorite company that I have ever worked for. Absolutely loved everyone i worked with besides one manager but that was only because we clashed heads. Will not name his name. I worked 4 pm-3 am Monday through Friday and they offered overtime which is mandatory. The night shift is very relaxed but also needing to hit certain numbers. The night shift manager is one of the greatest supervisors that I have ever had. It was nice to have a supervisor that actually cared about you as a person and wasn't constantly strict and uptight 24/7. I started working there beginning on day shift which is like 7 or 8 am to 3 or 4 pm. I did not mind it as there were a lot of people working day shift compared to night shift. I enjoyed the night shift because i felt more comfortable and wasn't so crammed in there like day shift was. Things were more hectic on day shift. I got trained very early in a lot of different areas, which really helped me get my foot in the door to Electrical/Mechanical Engineering. I went from working in fast food to now being in Aerospace. I couldn't thank this company enough for teaching me so many different things. Everyone who works at Banner are amazing people. This place isn't cliquey at all. This place felt like a family. There would be free food sometimes in the break room and even have work picnics and get together's. Banner was always clean. It wasn't loud at all either. You could talk to people in a normal voice and there wouldn't be any other noise around. Everyone watches over each other and continues to grow every single day. I worked there for approx. 3 or 4 months and i was trained in soldering, testing LED lights and sensors, building sensors from start to finish, lasering housings, packaging, assembling, and testing circuit boards. I was somewhat called a "floater" because wherever they would need work done, they would put me. Its not like that for other workers though. Workers are usually assigned to one area and they stay there but that wasn't really the case for me. Night shift was more relaxed and I could hop around, and i enjoyed learning new things. 10/10 would recommend Banner Engineering.

I worked the PM shift as an Electrical Assembler. Since most employees worked AM shifts, our group was much smaller, and we had to share workstations with the morning crew. I was referred to this job by a career service because of my interest in soldering.

Training mainly consisted of safety videos and instructional content on soldering. There were three of us in the training group, and afterward we were tested on soldering boards to assess our skills. I performed reasonably well compared to the others. Unfortunately, on my last day of training, I became very sick, and things went downhill from there.

Instead of being placed in soldering work, I was assigned to one of the most repetitive and mundane tasks: testing car wash sensor parts. The process involved positioning a part in a machine, pressing a button, and constantly readjusting when it didn’t align correctly. It was tedious and isolating. Although I had demonstrated stronger soldering skills than at least one of my peers, both of them were placed on more engaging soldering board work while I remained stuck testing sensors.

Eventually, I was allowed to solder small components of car sensors before testing them. However, my station was poorly set up for soldering, and the area was extremely noisy. I requested to move to one of the designated soldering stations during this phase, and the night supervisor approved it. For a short time, this worked out well.

Unfortunately, the AM shift employee who normally used that workstation complained about sharing. Even though I cleaned up as best as I could, I was accused of leaving the area messy. As a result, I was barred from that station and punished with extreme micromanagement required to document my tasks hour by hour for upper management.

This was a very negative experience. All I wanted was a suitable, quieter workstation to do the job I was hired for, but instead I was treated unfairly and singled out. Looking back, I can’t believe how long I tolerated such a disrespectful and unsupportive work environment.

Day-to-day work has a rhythm that's easy enough to get into and you're really able to learn the ins and outs of your work if you're in the same area for long enough. The workplace culture is welcoming and friendly, but can err towards feeling cliquey and mean.
Direct line problems can get escalated to leads and solved easily, thankfully, but attempting to bring up major management issues with HR, etc. feels impossible. Nothing will be changed unless you directly fight for it. Had to talk to upper management multiple times over the course of months before being able to get a problem employee (bad hygiene, slow pace, lack of communication skills) out of our fast-paced work area.

The turnover rate in my area for the first six months was a revolving door, and left barely-qualified employees in charge of trainees. There is a training program, but it was not utilized and the trainer role was instead imposed upon people who were coerced into it. The per-hour bonus for being a trainer is also fairly meager.
After working for about a year, it was mentioned I'd be upgraded to a level II assembler multiple times, but as far as I know I was not actually given a raise.
There's a F-S 12hr weekend shift, as well as a M-Th 10hr weekday shift.  Second shift (4:00pm to 2:30am), and can be difficult to work around compared to other evening shifts. 

While the work area is generally quiet enough, the SMT room has a large ultrasonic stencil cleaner that runs periodically and makes a hissing noise loud enough that you cannot hear anything else in that part of the room, for up to 5-10 minutes at a time. Many employees have brought the noise up to HR for months, but nothing's been changed.

Overall, not awful, if you find yourself here it's not *actively* torturous, but there are better places to work than Banner.

I had a very positive experience working at this company. The staff and management were friendly, supportive, and easy to work with, which created a welcoming and collaborative atmosphere. Team members were always willing to help one another, making it a great place to learn, grow, and develop new skills. The work environment was professional, well-organized, and encouraged open communication and teamwork. I appreciated the opportunities to contribute to projects and gain valuable hands-on experience while working alongside knowledgeable colleagues.

The company maintained a positive culture that made employees feel respected and valued. Day-to-day operations were smooth, and there was a strong focus on achieving goals while maintaining a healthy work environment. Although this particular location has recently closed, my time there was both rewarding and enjoyable. The experience helped me build technical and professional skills that continue to benefit me in my career. Overall, I am grateful for the opportunity and would describe it as a great place to work.

1st shift is the favorite shift. Manager's are horrible at planning, analyst aren't sure if they are analyst, only thing that is great is the team. Everyone understands they come to get a paycheck, and most of those understand that hard work pays off. But if you're not on day shift, you are invisible. the problem is always you, timing on projects are always off, the higher ups don't want to do their work so they trickle it down to the next available position, in which case they can't do their work so they trickle their work down to the next available position. With the money they make, I just wished they'd do more with everyone; more team building events, better parties at least, and I wish we aren't just a number. But I suppose that's how it is when you don't own a company. 

The usual stuff, working nights we get grief a lot even though we get the grunt work and most of the numbers out vs day shift, we get blamed for their mistakes despite attempts at communication (claim we don't) day is full of ladies nearing retirement age physically but still high school mentality. General management is okay and at least pretends to listen, willing to help out when you have issues. But lower down is a lot of favoritism. The work is interesting to learn and the challenge of trying to reach personal goals is fun, it makes it worth the other issues. Pay is fine for the area. Benefits are okay, only complaint is their insurance policy doesn't cover important mental health medications. 

The people worked with were wonderful and hardworking but upper management (Production Manager-Hunan Resource)was awful to their employees they didn’t care about the employees at all   Loved my job but hard to work the the management and human resource terrible people   Also hard to work for a company when for  years you only received  a 10 cent raise or 25 cent raise in the ten years I worked there  ( only one year a 1.00 raise)   It was the people I worked with that kept me working there   Also a place to where you work there for 30 years and  will make the same pay as someone who has worked there for 3 months    Also not a place where upper management communicates to 
 employees  Communication none ……. 

Pay is less then market value, atmosphere is similar to high school where everyone is in your business & rumors fly like crazy, management has half a clue about what’s going on & what people actually do all day, management has twice now verbally abused employees in front of everyone instead of in private berating them with foul language, others are constantly doing another’s job because several are incompetent of doing the job themselves, only way to move up is if you personally know someone within the higher up of the company, management is like a boys club where they only look out for themselves, depending on your manager you are held to a higher standard than your coworkers.

The people I've met at banner are some of the sweetest people I've met. The employees at banner are very loving and inclusive. There is always some bad with the good but for the most part everyone is kind. I wish I could say the same about managers. Most of the time we have managers leave after 3-4 months of work they rather quit and make a big deal or get fired and no one is really in charge. They don't help you for the most part and if you have a question ask an employee cuz the managers are mostly clueless. 

Upper management has no idea what they're doing, have too much ego to admit otherwise, and every order and decision made within the company feels like a giant game of telephone. Toxic workplace culture creates a competitive atmosphere that easily results in new employees being thrown under the rug to save face. Numerous OSHA violations. Employees are frequently written up for trying to go about their jobs more efficiently because it's "not in the matrix", which more often than not haven't been updated within the past decade. Pick a god and pray you don't get sick ever, because you will be penalized for calling off sick despite following protocol.
