Layco Electric Innovations

Fellow employees are nice.  I was able to increase my experience with Electric Motors and controls because the company looks for employees who are good at learning, so they will hire sharp people without exact matches in work experience.  Management is very nice.  You can get in if you are willing to go low ball on pay.  After being hired, apparently pay increases are something which must be asked for even after you have proven yourself and increased your market value.  Those of us who are introverts, and therefore tend not to initiate pay negotiations, and or not good negotiators, tend to get an increase in pay by leaving the company.  Apparently many people fall into the 'not good negotiator' category, because employee turnover is very high.  This causes its own form of instability in the workplace.

Eval inbound motors, fill out paper work, electrically test winding for electrical integrity using EASA industry standard through a variety of test equipment such as Hi potential difference test, surge test, core tester, and megOhm tester to name a few. 
Hardest part of the job was constantly learning new ways things can be done to accomplish essentially ally the same effect. Each way has its own set of pros and cons. When I finally finish winding a motor and knowing I'm one of very few in the state that can do this kind of work makes .e feel a since of professional fulfillment. 

It’s a miracle if you end up doing the job you are actually hired for! With Almost 90% turnover rate everyday can be exciting to see who your new coworkers or supervisor are. Then people tend to not return back to work after lunch or a quick break that can get depressing. Management does have certain employees strategically placed through out the different departments and buildings to ensure they know everything going on everywhere so be careful who you choose to befriend. But the starting pay is good. 

They care more about their business than employees.  Family is not important.  I was hired to be an electrical engineer and did more drafting, purchasing and jobs outside of the scope I was hired for.  The turn over rate is high because they don’t take care of their employees unless you’re part of the management team or friends with the owner.  There is a lack of utilizing employees for what their strengths are.

My time at Layco was enjoyable, there is a great crew that is easy to get along with and drama free, if you are skilled at what you do and can think for yourself and meet deadlines you will have no problems. Pay could be better but they are good people and that is hard to find when interacting with management. Do your job effectively with minimal supervision and you will have a home.

awesome place to work. from the top to the bottom, the people are amazing. this place has so much potential for growth. people wanting to start over with an amazing job plus the amazing benefits we get you'll love working here!

Very much a small easy going company who really cares about it employees. The management and crew have a heart of gold. Of the work was not made clear then was never fear of asking to be restated or simplified 

No need to go through the laundry list of things to complain about. They can’t keep anybody and the people they have are about as sharp as a butter knife. I got my benefits from them and now I’m living my best life. Good riddance!
