Cleanliness and safety are VERY low in this facility. Overcrowded to the point that no one has a place to set their lunch, because they have 1 gross non-commercial refrigerator for the entire facility. There are Cockroaches and Mice Throughout the Entire Facility. Small lunch area, short breaks/lunch so people eat on the floor which makes this worse, management does nothing to remedy this and the bare minimum is done to treat the infestation, never addressing the root cause. 

The employees that stay for long periods of time - I really feel awful for them, some because they do not speak english and have few options for employment. Management reacts to most any situation with panic, high emotion(family business), job aids/jigs are poorly built and unsafe. The chain of command is nonexistent and brown nosers are treated like the ideal employees whilst failing their jobs. 


Raises are promised by people who get fired, so you won't get that either. Health insurance is not great, which is to be expected, I think they offer optical but no dental, unless you are one of the few (never disclosed) management that don't do their jobs, they get dental.

Parking is awful, you will get nails and screws in your tires and I hope 
you never park by anyone, your car will get hit. 


The work isn't hard, but the place will gross you out, leadership is non-existent and you won't make enough to live on with 1 job. I think they started the laborers on the floor at $7 something, insulting.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I'm really good at it, and I don't find myself looking at the clock every five minutes.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The majority of people speak Vietnamese, so there is a language barrier, and for some reason the management started harassing everyone who worked there about how much time they spend in the bathroom. But when they leave you alone to do the work, it's a great job.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
In terms of the actual assembly of the electrical harnesses, it's a fun job. The pay isn't great, and the management seems to sometimes go out of their way to make their own staff dislike their jobs. Which is weird. But it's still way more fun than fast food.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
So you have to figure out how to get all the wires of different colors from the starting point to the destination on a wooden table... sometimes it's fairly easy, sometimes it's quite challenging. And sometimes there are issues that need to be addressed before the harness can be completed. Some days I got maybe ten units done. Other days I didn't finish the third one by the end of the day.

When I say impoverished. It has the full meaning.. This company is being managed in a way that indicates a severe lack of financial resources, often due to poor decision-making, leading to a state of near-poverty where they struggle to cover basic operational costs. 

It started off great but it was too good to be true. So every 2 weeks you're supposed to hit a quota or above to get your "so called" bonus (the one they tell you about in your interview) I worked there several months and never received a bonus. Because of there neglected wire cutting machines. Their inadequate maintenance staff tries to fix the issues but most of the time makes it worse or to the point the machine wont run at all.

But I'm sure a lot of these problems could be maintained if their HR staff wasn't so presumptuous and had better business ethics. HR is supposed to know how to deal with these issues not make them worse. Its all because of poor communication with the owners and employees. 

By far this is the bottom-of-the-barrel company I've ever worked for. The only good that ever came from there was the amazing people that still work for them. and they've about had enough as well

What is the best part of working at the company?
You get to work with your hands 95% of the time

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Inside command has little to no interaction with warehouse workers. Warehouse has no central a.c. You dress for the weather outside when you work in the warehouse. It can get super hot or cold depending on weather

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Mostly friendly, very care free, play along to get along 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Will be on feet for majority of day, will work with various tools. Will be able to work by self to finish projects in expected time frame.

The most enjoyable part of my day was learning to do things I had never had the chance to do before. I never expected to enjoy the manufacturing atmosphere, but I did enjoy it at Martin Interconnect. HR was a big problem there though. They did not deal with the correct issues, and instead focused on the drama without addressing who was causing all of the issues. There was more gossip, drama, and unnecessary things happening on the floor instead of productivity and getting harnesses out the door. Management let people stand around and talk instead of working, and when they had several complaints about 1 person, they got rid of other people instead of the 1 causing all of the issues.

I count wires into 10 roll then and zip tie them to get them ready for weld and assembly. I heat shrink wires also. I learned how to heat shrink and work on stripping cables. Management sucks they don't care about their employees really. Culture is mainly Vietnamese people and Mexicans. Hardest part of the job is just showing up, and heat shrinking. Most enjoyable is when I count and roll wire or work in the stock room.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I love the people I worked with.  I stayed busy throwing wire

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When I had down time or had to build serveral jobs and keep up with throwing wire too

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It gets pretty hot in the summer time.  It's a mixed culture. The owners are pretty cool

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Throwing wire checking tablet for new jobs and if there's any jobs ready to move.getting boxes and barrels for new jobs

So let's tell the truth. There's only one person there that speaks English for 90% of the company. HR doesn't care about anyone. All I care about is getting numbers in the door. And get numbers out the door when they're not making them enough numbers. They don't care about their employees. They don't care about you All they care about is their air-conditioned HR office while everyone else on the main floor sweats like dogs. Their pay is terrible. Their employees are rude and uncomfortable. It's drama based and nobody cares.

I have worked here for 4 months now.... I was given the freedom to insert my opinion, work at my pace, and be myself.... I clearly see they are a second chance company willing to work with almost anyone. The HR department is top notch! There are numerous opportunities for experience and promotions regularly... From top to bottom I couldn't ask for better owners, supervisors, and coworkers. 

While they have a culturally diverse workforce ( Wich I loved) it seemed the main reason was so they could get write is and pay below living wages. If they tell you there is a bonus get it in writing. The " matrix" they based it on was apparently a secret. And if you were not in a machine that was working well ( none of them were)  you would not be able to get the bonus. Plus side I lived my coworkers
