Korry Electronics

Most people work incredibly hard.  The company has downsized considerably over the past two years, and workloads have increased.  There is a lot of frustration around the additional work.  Employees are in survival mode, and everyone is tense and turning on each other because we are all afraid for our jobs.  We have some senior leaders who do nothing to contribute value and who take credit for work that people below them actually do.  When workloads are so big, do we really need to have people who do nothing but delegate?  Maybe when we were a larger company, but since the downsizing, do we need that anymore?

There is a huge amount of turnover.  People are very dissatisfied with the Covid response - it has been timid at best.  We were asked to sign an agreement that we were vaccinated, but no proof was required. If you signed the form, you no longer need to wear a mask.  The problem is that people lied because they knew they would not have to prove it.  People have been walking around unmasked for months.  We have had several outbreaks of Covid, and all of those unmasked and unvaccinated people have been allowed to put others at risk.  It was a poorly designed practice.  Finally it was announced that the company would require vaccines following governmental guidelines.  Finally it was going to be safe for the rest of us.  One day later they retracted that decision.  No consequences for those who are putting others at risk and who lied to the company.  Many people do not feel like the company values our safety.  
Lots of initiatives to improve things within the company within the past few years, and they have all fallen flat.  

Korry Electronics could be a great place to work at but, unfortunately its govern by a bunch of dullards with no direction, goals and no knowledge of simple process application. Thanks to these few incompetent folks most evereyone else has to work harder with archaic equipment and methods. Because of the lack of listening skills of management and the blatantly obvious disregard for employee well being, most everyone is on edge constantly and fearful of what might happen next. There has been layoffs, cuts on benefits (that are going to continue gradually), and a complete stop on open communication with leadership and employees. Everyone is scared of saying what is on their mind. There is a big equal opportunities problem here and only brown nosing would get you anywhere. This is so unfortunate because I have never been around so many hard working people that constantly have to put their lives aside to be able to keep the company afloat because the so called leaders are just there collecting fat checks, having innumerable meetings a day to mask not doing anything while getting paid, while most everyone get just leftovers of what an adequate pay should be and there is no appreciation for their hard work. A thank you or a good job doesn't pay the bills. Most employees put more into the company than what the company is willing to give back to them. They are on the look for cutting down personnel while rising production so they can make all the money at very little cost. If you are looking for job security competitive pay and good life/ work balance then keep away.

I am getting very frustrated at Korry.  They have not done a good job with Covid in the workplace.  They made everyone come back into the office unless you are one of the special ones, and then you are able to work from home all you want.  Most of us are required to be in the office at least 3 days per week, but someone in my department has not been in the office in over a year.  Many would prefer to work from home all the time also, but not everyone is treated fairly here.  HR made everyone sign a form that they had been vaccinated, but people just lied.  If you signed the form, you don't need to wear a mask.  That means that there are people who lied about being vaccinated and they are walking around the building possibly infecting others.  That is a reckless practice and I feel like I am in danger all the time.  My health is not important to the company.  Now they announced that everyone had to be vaccinated or lose their jobs, but they changed their minds a day later.  Again, my health is at risk and I am not important enough for them to enforce any kind of safety measures.  They are too afraid that even more people will quit.  People are leaving in groups now, going to places that offer better pay, better time off packages, better upsides all around.


This was under the ownership of the larger corporation Transdigm, but their ownership values promote such a highly evil, greedy, and soulless work culture. They don’t care about you as a person, just someone to squeeze and suck the life force out of until you’re burnt out and quit or they’ll just fire you. 

They refuse to allow more hires for our department but I’m sure that’s the case for every production line as well, making it so that everyone is practically required to work at least some overtime to finish their work duties. However, when someone goes on their vacation, work gets overflowed to the point where everything just gets rushed and there is a tremendous backlog for everyone. And what’s their response to this? Asking us what the plan is to get it resolved, how are we going to work faster to reduce the backlog, rather than actually hiring more workers.

I will say that the hardworking people here do make it more bearable, but they honestly get taken advantage of by upper management because they fear getting fired. This makes the overall vibe of the workplace a fear-ridden depressing environment that just seems horrible to work in… The middle managers are good people who just get ordered to work us like a workhorse.

Overall, don’t work here unless you like to be taken advantage of and never ending work!

I worked their previous Lake Union, Seattle location.
The very best engineering job I have ever had.  But they had a lay-off just after the 9-11 attack.  I survived that one.  But then they panicked at the end of 2008 because of the great recession.  I did not survive that lay off.
81 of us got sent packing.  That same year (2009) the moved to their new building in Everett.  What I found odd about their Dec 2008 lay-off, was that they earned RECORD profits their 2nd quarter of 2009.  The reality was that they threw so many people overboard, that the people I stayed in touch with said, everyone left employed had to absorb all the work from those sent packing.  They are big fans of one-piece flow production lines, so believe that they are about sweat shop conditions.  A much better company before all that mega-productivity whip cracking started.  I really miss my co-workers there.  Lots of smart, kind, interesting people.

Working an off shift there were no typical days. Some were very long as I would come in early for meetings. Some meetings were mandatory, while others were a benefit for me. It would help me explain, to the off shift, the direction of the company or why change was needed.
My direct manager liked our team to complete corporate directives faster, better, and with more interaction than any other team. I was glad to be on a team with that kind of drive and standard.
I enjoyed working with other supervisors in the areas of process improvement. Many of the projects were fun and productive. Being on an off shift, it was nice to be included, or have my staffs input included.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people and management are very welcoming and understanding. Everyone looks genuinely happy to be showing up every day. They have a supportive and creative atmosphere 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
This won't be the same for everyone obviously, but for me it was transitioning into a new industry. They took a chance on me though and I'm thankful for it.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very inclusive and empowering I would say. It might seem at first that they are a little hands off, but it's because they trust in the individuals abilities and allow you to be autonomous.

There have been some drastic changes in our plant, which have been done in the name of "Lean Transformation". They took a company with excellent on-time delivery, good profits, and excellent sales, broke it all apart to where there is no efficiency, and all the years of lean development. A team has now broken up all of the truly lean assembly lines and fabrication shop, and now our customers are ticked off, we have poor on-time delivery, and our sales are down..seems Like we're set up for hostile take over!

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working at the company is I got valued from the management. They’re gave me opportunities to work. Thank you. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
People, but I’ve been learning to how to ignore non sence from some people. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is clean and tidy and the culture is good. I recommend it. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Since I know how to ignore nonsense. Everyday is a new day for me. Not just at a korry , but everywhere I work for.
