What is the best part of working at the company?
Its an easy sit-down job, you work next to others so you can converse while working or you can listen to headphones while you work.  Most the jobs are easy once you get a good rhythm going.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is no room for upward mobility, the line supervisors are generally stressed and the raises are once a year and minimal at best.  If you're someone that likes to "rise through the ranks" or judges your ability/progress through upward movement, this will not be a good spot for you.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Its quiet for a factory setting, generally pleasant but somewhat military like.  There is no HR on site for the Traverse City plant, so any questions or concerns will go through plant supervisor or email to HR in Ann Arbor which may or may not answer.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work is quiet, somewhat fulfilling.  Its interesting to see everything come together in a finished product. You come in, morning meeting, do your job, take your breaks and go home.

I enjoyed the culture and my coworkers. The position offered a new experience everyday because no 2 issues were ever the same. There is depth in the various departments and resources were provided for active problem solving. Over the course of a shift you get a hour break broken up into 3 breaks and the company encourages you to take your breaks. 
Training is provided in the department and there was a heavy focus on building foundational knowledge. There are some growing pains with the company but its like any larger manufacturer. If you are looking for a company to grow with and expand the metrology department, this job is for you. 

EOTechs a great beginner job or just a easy job in general and I can't really complain about it being hard. That said there are multiple things that are bad but not life ending. The required 300 parts is tough sometimes and we get blamed for it (usually part problems) and then there's basically no communication between both buildings in MI which leads to complications with orders or part management. Also, some employees can be quacks when something minor happens and good luck not getting your ear chewed off my said employees. The boss is most of the time unaware of anything of importance which usually means a hissy fit from them the following days. All in all not a terrible place to work.

They claim to be a family friendly company, however they are only willing to work with you if you are above a certain pay grade (salary only). Would not work with a new family bringing a new baby on board unless they were forced to. No maternity or paternity leave. Claimed the mom could get 12 weeks of disability for paid time off but insurance only allowed 6 weeks with a newborn. 

The place is a complete mess. Over hiring people when they don’t have jobs for them. No diversity what so ever. Management is a joke besides one person. The team leads show favoritism. Took a coworker 13 years to get to $18 a hour. No room for advancement what so ever. Layoffs are something you should expect. Also the work culture is very disturbing. Many employees are very anti American and that was mind blowing to me since this is a company building things that our military uses. No pride in what they do whatsoever. 

No promotions from within. Management doesn’t communicate so employees often receive conflicting instructions. Frequent layoffs and increased cost for health benefits. Four different owners in eight years. No diversity in management. The last employees to get laid off had legitimate medical absences. Two were Covid related which I thought couldn’t be held against you. HR is completely useless.

EOTECH is one of the best places I have had the privilege to work at.  The work culture is incredible, and they truly care about their employees.  Benefits are amazing and extensive.  Assembly also has opportunities for bonuses on a monthly basis.  All employees receive merit increases and yearly bonuses dependent on company performance. 

They do layoffs every year since I’ve been working here. Management is lazy they leave everything to the team leads. The pay is very low considering what other jobs in the area offer for similar positions. It’s hard to move up because there aren’t many higher positions opening up.

The raises and bonuses are not quite as good as they were hyped up to be during the interview process. Otherwise it’s a pretty decent place to work. Everyone is friendly willing to jump in and help solve problems to get the job done, I like that a lot

What is the best part of working at the company?
A lot of great people. It was a great working experience with good energy. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Personally, it wasn't stressful at all.
