JST Manufacturing

Family owned business that's been around for awhile. Used to be a screaming match between owner, CEO, and managers but they are much better about that stuff by the time I left. Management can be considered toxic via the constant blame game that will effect your likelihood of getting a raise. This attributes to their very high turnover rate. Salaried gets even better bonuses/ 401k contributions but constantly abused and required to work much more than the standard 40. If you're looking for lots of work to keep you out of trouble, this is the place for you. I highly respect their tendency to hire felons that need overtime. Medical benefits are VERY good. Overall i have a lot of respect for this company but would not go back unless i was offered a more than fair wage upfront.

Expect bait and switch for salary.expect the add to say 0-2 years expirience 70k. Right before you start you will receive an offer letter for 12k less than you expected.  Most engineers worked past 5 years and still do not make the 70k. None qualified managment evaluates you, and will provide you with the you need to work smarter, faster, and make less mistakes. The funny thing is you are working on computers that are on average 8 years old. Expect to be-rated by management in an open forum.  The engineering department has 12 employees, 8 are less than two years expirience. Plan to work for Jst for two years , work average of 50 hour week with no extra pay. Get expirience and then leave.

JST is a family run company. Having seen the way the family interacts with each other explains the way the employees are treated. If you like being yelled at, under appreciated, and being under paid, JST is the place for you! Having worked at JST I would never recommend it to anyone. The company’s expectations of employees are ridiculous. Management is poor and unorganized. Outdated and poor equipment are expected to create “quality” products. Quality, which is the company’s motto is far from what you can expect there. McDonald’s and Walmart have better organization.

Expectations are unattainable. The company is disorganized with too many spoons in the pot, making everything disorganized and top priority. When things are running smoothly, you don't hear from management. But when something goes wrong, they let you know it! (Something always goes wrong....) There is great potential for the company,  but the company currently lacks the resources needed and an encouraging attitude to drive their overworked employees to care.

1 year here with everyone and there is great support. People are great and no yelling, no high tensions, just lots of work. JST has increased in size since I have joined them. 
Typical days? Come in to work, get your work done and go home. The job I do is very dynamic day to day. 
Seeing the automated tools come to life from print to build is rewarding! 
Field service trips can be long hours, it does not detour me. 

-Horrible communication.
-No willingness for disability accommodation.
-Stressful work environment every day of the week.
-Unfair expectations for all.
-They want everyone to be a workaholic.
-They like to hire people that don't know how to do the job - then be trained by the experts - without asking the experts ahead of time and without pay compensation.

I'm an assembly electrician. I like the work i do when it's relevant. Been there 1yr. No 90 day review.. no 6 month review. I keep hearing, they're busy. Yet others have had a review. Makes me question my company worth. Company makes too much money to treat their employees like they do. Average week is 55-60 hours. It's exhausting. Good money but no time to spend it.

Enjoyable part was there were some good employees, Bosses and HR don’t care about you.  Don’t trust them at the interview they will make the company sound amazing to get you in the door. Then lie to you after and the pay isn’t that great for the way your treated. And it’s 109 outside and they don’t care that your work environment has no ac or appropriate fans or ventilation. 

Classic Family owned business that cared little about the bulk of there employees, the only way to get a promotion was to do way more work than you were paid for and then they might consider giving you more responsibility without any additional pay.  The payscale was  lackluster unless your last name matched the owners.  But they are all gone and hopefully Its righted with the new managment.

JST's workplace vibe and management has a feel that wouldn't seem out of place 30 years ago. If you do a good job, you won't hear anything. If you mess something up, you will, loudly. However, you can expect to be paid on time for your work. Opportunities for skill development, raises and advancement are rare.
