CHawk Technology

I have been at CHawk for almost 5 years. Employees all get along and everybody communicates to help each other out. When starting out the work instructions and training get you up to speed pretty quickly without it being overwhelming. All the machinist really helped me out in training and also teaching me how to use the equipment for measuring. Employees from the office are frequently on the floor talking to production and there is a good harmony between the two. The CEO and Chairman are great people who care about more us than money as seen by their effort to go above and beyond for us during COVID-19. They could have worked from home, but they chose to come into work too which was cool. They also paid us for 1 week due to employees getting COVID (which they never tried to downplay) and paid a lot to clean the place. Chawk is growing year over year because they invest in top of the line equipment and personnel which is nice because you never have to worry that your employer is wanting you to work with old equipment. We have all hands on meeting and we get a good outlook for the company so nothing is hidden from us. We have BBQ, fruits, donuts and holiday gatherings which is nice because it helps give us a good reward for working in such a grueling industry. We always get bonuses even in down years and a new wage policy ensures we get fair reviews yearly and shows what our managers want us to do more/less. They have added a lot of customers recently and it is nice because it provides more stability during the semiconductor dips. Overall, if you want to work for a company that cares about the workers, wants the best for people (not just when they are at work), is willing to invest, and aims to grow yearly then Chawk is the perfect job for you.

Working here has helped to expand my knowledge and skills because people here want others to do well. Different departments frequently work together to solve problems and it helps out QA a lot. There is a new engineering group that has hugely helped all the development and makes our jobs easier and help us solve problems and think differently. We get to work with the best equipment since the owner is willing to buy what the company needs to do the best. He is always buying machines and taking the profits and investing back into Chawk. The new CEO is a smart guy and is willing to listen to ANYBODY'S opinion and does not care about job titles. He is open to communication and willing to adapt. I think that is one of the best things about working here. The CEO/Chairman (owner) are like regular people with no ego and genuinely care about us. We get awesome perks including great benefits, bonuses, yearly reviews which leads to raises if you deserve, bbq, chili cook-off, quarterly awards, and holiday parties. I have worked in many different industries and for many different companies and this is my favorite place I have ever worked. My coworkers are great people too and we always help each other out. I would love to work here for the rest of my career and see the great places this company is headed for.

Unfortunately most people who leave reviews are disgruntled employees. But this company has a lot to offer potential employees; 401k, full medical, dental, PTO. Sick time. There is a great work culture because people are actually invested in the company. The supervision staff is excellent and give people the opportunity to advance and succeed at work. The chairman of the company is often seen walking the floor actually talking to people and has real relationships with people at every level of work. The management is accessible and approachable and through the expansion has tried to remain as transparent as possible.

As far as the covid-19 crisis goes, the company has set multiple measures in place for the employees to remain safe. From checkpoints at entry to touchless dispensers/clock-in, and extra sanitation staff. In machinist work it is impossible to eliminate all touching and exposure but the company has gone the extra mile in trying to minimize as much as possible and continues to think of new ways and improve. To say that anyone should of foresaw this pandemic and prepared or changed overnight is impossible.

Make challenging products. Works hard to win customers to grow business and stop short cuts by doing things right way. Good machines and buy more when need to. Built up good engineering team. Hires when needed. Chawk cares about employees and treats people good. Referral bonuses. Donuts and bagels for site on pay days. Employee thank you BBQs before COVID. Nice shirts and jackets and given to all employees. Management talks to employees to get feedback on what can be improved. Open doors to talk to managers. Working as one big team has got better. Smart people work here. Good place to come work hard and learn. Can change jobs inside the company. Chawk pay bonus, 401k matching and other benefits like medical, vacation, sick, and floating day.      

I have been at Chawk for 2 years. It is a very fast paced proto type environment that will keep you on your toes. Working here is both fun and challenging. The CEO/Owner and other owners are great, they legitimately care about the employees, value their input and try their best to keep everyone happy.
I have been working in machine shops for about 24 years and I can honestly say this is the best place I have ever worked. Most shops do not give bonuses, this one gives very generously. They also acknowledge and reward the hard workers who are making a difference, which is also something that most other shops do not do. At Chawk there are pizza party's, company BBQ's, Chili cookoffs and EPIC holiday party's. I would highly recommend working here.

I have enjoyed working here and like my coworkers. We have great working conditions and nice benefits. We get 401k, health insurance, employee awards, good vacation structure and we feel comfortable at work. Our surrounding areas are clean and the whole production floor is kept clean and organized as much as possible. It is a fast-paced environment which is fun and means your day goes by quickly since you are always focused on parts. The new production manager is very nice and always sits near us helping us out. We come to work and feel safe during COVID-19 with the new rules and new procedures. We feel safe in our jobs because we trust management and they always treat us well and look out for others even when it is not work-related. I consider my coworkers' family and I feel the same from them.

I've been working at Chawk for well over a decade now. This industry of work always has been demanding but with the environment and systems built within the company over the years that demand has mostly been alleviated. The relationship between the upper echelon of management and the production floor employees is very professional and friendly. The managers are down to earth and levelheaded while also taking their employee's gripes into consideration to help ease the flow of production. Chawk offers fair benifits for 401k, dental, and health along with bonuses, annual reviews, and various employee rewards/team building activities in the form of cookouts and holiday parties.
Overall the people are great, the pay is good, and work is rewarding.

Working at Chawk is challenging, but you are pushed to learn everyday and adapt to the fast paced environment. Coworkers are really nice and a lot of them have been with the company for a while so there is a bond people have with the company. Management is open for communication and is transparent with their goals. Company is expanding rapidly and through it has tried to remain true to its core values which are employee satisfaction and customer support. They have quarterly luncheons and all hands on meetings where anybody can ask questions. Overall, Chawk is a great company and is growing rapidly and will be a perfect place for anybody to learn and start a career.

Working at CHawk was educational to say the least. I would not recommend anyone work there unless you are a relative of someone that works in upper management. This is not a culture of learning. You will not receive any reviews or performance evaluations unless supervisors are tasked to do so. The unprofessionalism is almost comical.

The company places emphasis on shipping parts with disregard to quality. There are many conflicts on daily basis within the manufacturing and quality groups. This leads to mistrust and stress at the work place.
