A typical work day would include checking my work log for new jobs, working on and completing old jobs, logging repair description, parts and man hours into my log, troubleshooting, ordering parts and repairing equipment. On this job I honed my time management skills, learned to prioritize my work and I learned to be sensitive, tough and patient with my clients.

The management was always very good to me and we had plenty of work so I'm assuming they were doing their jobs to the best of their ability. They created a training program and I was working with a mentor for the first six months. It was a success. My coworkers were friendly and when I was new to the position they were always wiling to help. Of course, they all had different ways of explaining things and different solutions to fix the problem but I just took what they told me and made it my own, which worked out well.

The most difficult part of the job was telling a customer that their equipment wasn't worth fixing or it was irreparable. I expected their disappointment and answered their questions to the best of my ability They usually understood but it's never fun to deliver bad news. The best part of the job was learning new things daily; especially when a new skill was mastered. It brings me a real sense of accomplishment.

No responsibility is ever given or taken by management for the facilities, work load, direction and structure.

You will be expected to lie to customers about the issues that are CONSTANTLY arising due to lack of work force needed (for the work accepted by Management) to produce a quality product.

Facility is filthy. Window and floors covered in dirt and very poor air quality. Management does not care about their employees.

This location of Omron, due to having no real responsibilities for it self due the restricting hold of the Japanese parent company, give unrealistic deadlines with no interdepartmental support or communication. Everyone is constantly pointing fingers at other departments and will never own their mistakes.

This place has so many problems to even list. Do not work here or this place will kill your spirit.

If you do have to work here due to no other choice, then watch your back and always choose your words and battles carefully or you will find your self back on this sight looking for another job.

In May 2015, Omron Electronics LLC, an Omron Group company engaged in sales and marketing of industrial automation components and systems in the U.S., was named winner of the 2015 "Best Places to Work in Illinois." This recognition is given to companies that make exemplary contributions to the economy and employment in Illinois. The achievement was followed by the company's recognition as one of "The Best and Brightest Companies to Work ForTM" in July of the same year. This competition program selects and honors 101 organizations that display a commitment to excellence in human resource practices and employee enrichment. The 101 selections were made from among 702 companies throughout the U.S.

Both awards assess companies in a range of categories related to employee satisfaction, such as communication at work, work-life balance, employee education, diversity, and more.

Living up to our value, "Respect for All" defined in the Omron Principles, we will continue focusing on the creation of a workplace in the U.S. and around the world that is able to bring out the full potential of each individual employee.

A typical day at work would be coming in, checking to see the amount of orders that are ready to be filled in the morning. Those orders would start to be filled right away. On an avertage day, we would keep busy filling orders. Towards the end of the day, we would pack the orders, run the through the UPS and Fed Ex labeling syatems and then proceed to loud the trucks for shipping out towards the end of the day. We would also be responsible for keeping track of inventory and maintaining a safe and clean work place. 

The management was always helpful yet firm, and all employees treated each other with respect and help each other out. 

The hardest part of the job would be when it get extremely busy with tight deadlines, although I did enjoy the challenge and staying busy. That aspect would also apply to the most enjoyable part of the job, as well as the company of the coworkers.

A typical day on the validation team consisted of:
1) Reviewing software requirements for a current or new project
2) Developing and reviewing test cases for various projects
3) Conducting validation tests on automotive electronics. 
4) Sitting in on Change Control Board Meetings
5)Playing the latest card game at lunch. (spades, euker, etc)

I learned the basics of software development and validation

The management worked to be very thorough in all aspects. They really believed in developing a strong team as well. Every year we had offsite team building events at a local park. 

The hardest part involved properly deciphering the software requirements for certain projects and creating valid test cases. 

The most enjoyable part was feeling like I was part of a true team. I knew and interacted with everyone on the team almost everyday in some way.

Our "MBO" performance review system is perceived by most employees as window dressing.  Even the most dedicated and effective employees rarely achieve "exceed expectations" on performance reviews. We have a terrible problem with turn-over, loosing many of our top performers because compensation does NOT match performance.  Whatever pay scale you agree to coming in the door will become your albatross, no mater what stellar outputs you deliver. 

I also don't like the 'Kristallnacht' manner in which people are dismissed or leave the company. Its like they were taken out by an assassin's bullet  . . just "POOF he gone". 

On the good side, I respect our senior leadership for always fielding unfiltered questions from the peanut gallery during our 'town hall' meetings.

You won't find any MIT grads here. No one here has Google tier abilities. Welcome to Omron my friends. Not even senior management makes good money here.

If you can find a better job, I say go for it. Otherwise, be prepared to be depressed by the pay, the unbelievably high goals we never hit, and the low calibre of your peers. Me included.

Typical day at work includes having a meeting because someone didn't read his email again. Learn how much lower your expectations must sink to keep up with reality. Management is very poor. Hardest part of the job is knowing how much greener the grass is on the other side from all your friends in better companies. Most enjoyable part of the job is it doesn't matter if you screw up. That's just called being an average employee! 

This company does not address issues that are building up to be big problems for 2019. 

A company that prides itself on quality sure does know how to hide all the flaws and cover-ups to the customer. You are told the correct processes but they do not follow through and cut corners to get it done

They are always working last minute on builds that should have been done weeks before the ship date. 

I would bullet point everything wrong with this place but it isn’t worth it. The way HR is run is a joke. When the core of managers are actively disregarding everything, the company stands for, it’s time to get out.

Excellent company providing complete compensation package and additional benefits very few companies match. Their employees are second to none. True example of a "work family".
Always concerned with giving back to the community,
Concerned with providing the "best" customer experience.


Unfortunately, a restructure / reorganization eliminated my position.
They let employees leave and walk employees out the door without regard to their knowledge and experience. They need to learn how to re-purpose these people.
