To Management,

I hope you see these reviews and see how bad the management has run a muck of the company. You have a permanent fecal stain following you everywhere on the Internet. It cannot be washed off, and no matter how many times you try to create fake accounts to give your company positive reviews. Everyone knows its a fecal stain. 

Current Management: Should not be a manager. More like a Boot Camp instructor. Has no people skills. Yelling and screaming to get a point across. Almost like a child throwing a tantrum. Knowitall. Thinks he can solve every problem with a excel sheet. Takes no advice from anyone. Even if proven wrong. Some how you turn out to be the sore thumb. Might I mention, Has cameras on all employee's at all times. Then randomly comes onto the floor, confronting individuals on the spare seconds that their standing around problem solving. Because of managements poor leadership skills. IT"S A JOB, NOT A CORRECTIONAL FACILITY! No justification for cameras, in the 22 year history. Only one theft was ever recorded in the history of the company. 10 years prior, before the cameras we installed. 

Pens, Pencils even have a log because staff cannot be trusted to distributed them evenly. 

Sad: Micross processes are very unique. Some of the coolest I've seen. I loved the job itself and the people. Really Management is the only problem. If management were to change, It would be a great company.

It use to have brilliant Engineers, Technicians, Tool Makers. But they were all fired or driven out. That's why they constantly post new jobs. Not because the business is growing and thriving. Because they think they can pay a car mechanic to operate on a human heart. And they have tons of job postings. All the processes are uncontrolled and undefined. Because they fired everyone who actually designed and controlled the processes.

Over compensated managers hold no accountability to their staff by not giving reviews or raises, or even simple praise. Workers never know where they stand on job performance. Over the last year 15% of the company was let go with a check mark that they are rehire-able but, let go to restructure the company, being called clogs that needing replacement (no respect). What does that mean?   Weekly group or company quarterly  meetings never happen. Layoffs of 25 year personnel given and made the individual to feel worthless.These individuals were the reason the company exists.Managers with no degree in either management or their field. Group managers do not do forecast budgets or keep up with the existing technology especially the test side, which always puts company in fire mode. To small of a company to allow/reward rumors.  QA structure none existent, most everything is done with paper. IT infrastructure very dated and limping. Conflict of interests with senior staff having spouses holding positions (layoff and accountability proof). Projections for sales presumably cooked with most senior staff having their own $$ invested. Again Conflict. No culture to speak of. And if there is, it must be at a higher tier.

budget-less culture-less

What is the best part of working at the company?
Keeps you busy so your day flies by.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of management and HR. What we do have for management, they don't do anything helpful for us. The conclusion is that the management that stays (4 managers quit within a year) is the management that likes to get paid to sit in an office all day and do nothing. Not even say "Good morning" to their team.

They have no interest in providing an in-house HR rep. You have to send an email that *may* get seen, but being seen doesn't guarantee that it'll be answered. Good luck if you need to report harassments or need paperwork for FMLA or disability or workman's comp. HR is only in NY and *may* come to your plant twice a year. They won't come to you, personally, while they're there though. No, they'll actively avoid you for the ONE day they show up.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Failing upwards is the only way to get somewhere. You WILL be overlooked if you actually work and follow procedure.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Everyone's late every day and people take their time getting things done because they have a "I get paid by the hour" mentality. It's busy, if you're in the right department or if you take your job seriously enough.

The compensation benefits and culture are some of the  most terrible I've seen in 25 yrs of working. If you have no experience or no work drive, this is the place for you. But if you have talent and ability don't come here because they won't appreciate you. No room for advancement,  management is a joke. The only good thing about this company are some of the employees and a few supervisors. This workplace is more concerned with numbers then quality. There needs to be a new training process when new people are hired instead of leaving it on the shoulders of the other employees who do not get compensated for going above and beyond. Upper management needs to step back and reevaluate middle management. 

The primary location for Micross Components is Orlando, Florida. There is opportunity for the person willing to work and live in Orlando. I worked at Austin Semiconductor until it was purchased Micross. They told us it was moving to Florida. At this point I started looking for a new job. Most of the time you can count on working about 45-55 hours a week. There were times when we worked longed to go home. The insurance was not the best but it was alright. You could do a lot worse than Micross.

I spent nearly 4 yrs at Micross ( formally Corfin LLC) now in Manchester NH. I honestly thought I was going to retire there until the merger of the two companies. Now managers use and abuse employees until they get fed up and leave for more money. The culture is bad there now and Human Resources can not be trusted. They told all of us that now we have more employees with merger we will have better, cheaper benefits. Well the benefits are more expensive and worse than before. If your new to manufacturing and need experience then it’s a fit. If have any experience and/or a good work ethic stay away, you deserve better.

Like me, I had zero experience in semiconductors prior to Micross.  I was given an opportunity to start as a Technican.  I quickly learned all processes and was given multiple advancement opportunities which I took.  I was a Technician, Lead Technician and a Supervisor 4 times.  I would have stayed at Micross if I did not have to relocate.  Yes, at times it was stressful, but what job is not.  The facility in Hatfield needs team building.  There are great people there and the company can excel but the moral is low.  Turnover is high in Management.  The atmosphere in Hatfield needs to change.  I made great friends during my 3 years of employment.  I wish them the best of luck.

If you have a job or other options you should PASS on any offer from Micross in Hatfield.  

The site management rules by fear and turns over middle managers at an alarming rate.  Salaried staff are driven out - working 60 hour weeks, with poor pay and no appreciation for their contribution.  The morale across the board is low and the future for this site bleak under the current leader.  Even the longer term employees are treated as disposable and get fired if they get hurt on the job or take off for sickness.

The medical plan is expensive.  There is no profit sharing or bonus plan.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Very family oriented and they’re very flexible with there hours 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There goal is to make everyones jobs as easy as possible so there’s no stress 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Doing paperwork and looking through microscopes for 8hrs

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing, I would do my best to stay away from this company. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The amount of work they put on you and the time they expect you to finish it in. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful and filled with two faced people. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work like a dog from the moment you get in to the time you leave
