What is the best part of working at the company?
Very little micro management. Once on board you will learn a bit or a lot depending on your willingness to learn but in the meantime no one there is ever going to be in your face about your work ethic or lack there of. If you are disciplined and willing to learn you will find those that will help you but there is little to NO management there pressuring you.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is little to NO management there to put a check on those bad apples in your team that will cause you to go down with the ship. Nepotism is rampant and you will have people making decisions that have no business being there but since they are part of the church or in some way related to the family you will have to deal with the idiocracy. They also do not pay very a comparable wage.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Super relaxed and chill. The culture between the tech side is for the most part a good comradery and an environment of helpful community. There is NO space for constructive criticism unless you are part of management. They will either pretend to listen and things will continue the way they are or they will black ball you for outing the major errors in the environment. If you are all about a pay check and keep it rolling this is the job for you. Having an opinion will usually not go well.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depending on what it is you are doing it is usually the same. Walk in on time and after that you will not have an issue. Do not stand out and you will be fine no matter how incompetent you are. Make nice with someone in management or upper management and you will be fine.

One of the worst jobs I’ve worked at. The work culture is toxic. Everyone is overworked & miserable. Management micromanaged you, making it uncomfortable to get work done. They have so many meetings that it is hard to get work done. They did not have a good training process when I started. They expected too much work for one person with the A/R Coordinator position. They expected one person to collect in multiple orgs (USA, CDA, OBMII etc) and expected all cash to be posted (US checks & ACH, CDA checks & ACH & all foreign payments). They also had weekly meeting & expected me to have my top 20 accounts ready to present. Too much work for one person. I was salary so any extra work I did, I did NOT get paid. There were many weekends I worked for FREE & was still behind. My manager wasn’t really helpful and was basically a puppet for the upper management and basically did whatever upper management said. When I started in Sept 2023 to my last day in 2024, 10 ppl have left the Finance dept., that says a lot. Many ppl there former & current feel the same way I did when I was there. I would 1,000% NOT recommend this job to anyone 

It will all sound good and then you start in the field, dealing with people who cannot deal with stress and punish you. You are a contract and will be laid off, deplorable business model. Nepotism is alive and well, so do not expect to be treated equally. Good luck, and good luck to the customers of this bad company, be prepared to be purposefully sabotaged in hopes of a contract that this company cannot fulfill due to the disconnect from the field to the hq. If you cannot keep people, you cannot fulfill contractual obligations. The WA side, particularly Amazons management representation needs to be reassessed. Seeing as they are your biggest customer, I would at least attempt to not let your leadership sabotage them. Think big picture. You mustn’t put all your hope in selling xls to others, when Amazon is not going to all of a sudden be small potatoes, your machines do not change consumer behavior, please try and understand this. If Amazon does not want your services do everything in your power to expand in their footprint so at the very least they will need your proprietary parts, think people! 

Install, maintain, and repair high speed mail sorting, opening, and scanning equipment. Maintained inventory, take service calls throughout day. 

Co-workers became friends. Made the job very enjoyable. 

The hardest part of the job is that since mail services are going away and people are paying on-line, job security is not there anymore. I was laid off because customer moved all operations out of state and consolidated. Technology did not really change, and product knowledge was pretty pointed. There is no advancement unless you may want to move to corporate offices in NJ. I have been an FST since day one till I was laid off 14 years later. 

I loved my coworkers, operators, and the health benefits. My boss was great. Maintained the 3 Minute Manager rule and we saw him only once per month. Just when it came to review time he was very subjective. We had tech support and was very easy to get parts to fix machines. It was a tight ship. Training was awesome too.

During my tenure spanning several years at this organization, I acquired substantial knowledge and experience. The transition to remote work, which I appreciated, was regrettably reversed due to the implementation of a new in-office policy. While in the office previously I experienced exposure of a rather unfavorable office atmosphere, characterized by interdepartmental conflicts and the mistreatment of colleagues. Regrettably, the prevailing environment did not align with the conducive and secure workspace I had anticipated.

In light of these concerns, I made repeated attempts to communicate my reservations to my manager. Regrettably, despite my efforts, the situation remained unchanged, and I was eventually subjected to termination. I had supplied medical documentation as support, albeit to no avail in influencing their decision-making process.

I'll start with the good. This is a place with decent benefits, especially health, and good job security. If you can stomach the rest of this then maybe OPEX isn't a bad place to work.

I'm tempted to call management willfully incompetent. Management continues to make poor decisions, which directly impacts engineering, which impacts the final product. And because there is no upward accountability, it's always the fault of engineering. There is no understanding of milestones, or deliverables, or what any of engineering is doing or why. All that matters is the monolithic ideal of the final product. Because of that priority is always shifted away from work that is mostly functional to something completely new. The only reason anything gets accomplished is because a few key people are trying to fill in the gaps of management. It's tiring and frustrating.

If you want to work here, keep your head low, and don't rock the boat.

Start out pay was 12hr for assembler after two years pay was 12.92hr after was 2% a year people who been there for 9 years or more were getting payed aroumd 13-14hr  the only way you can advance is if you go to the owners church and are good friends. People started working there who were there friends and had jobs created for them with in 3 months with no experience or no clue what they were doing my manager was a good guy but his hands were tied do too not going to the church took him 17+ years to get his position pto and vacation days were good thats it i left the job and im making more than my manager is right now so as a last resort go head and apply

My role is a one-of-a-kind given the nature of my background and experience, but the company treats all of its employees with dignity and respect - it is truly a family oriented organization.  Employees get clear guidance on what is expected of them and are rewarded for their efforts.  The health insurance is a key benefit and the best i have ever had at an employee in my decades of working for a corporation.

There is a lot of variety in work and the company is growing quickly.  It has a great niche in the marketplace and it is a trusted partner by its customers.
