meeting new group and getting familiar with a new field 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
dominated with with one group and it was hard to get into their circle

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I was eager to work but there were always system or applications issues ( you had to log in into 7-8 types of applications in order to obtain certain information regarding customer's orders). Most of the time one of the applications were having technical issues.

My past experience with SMTC had its challenges, but with those challenges came growth and learning.  SMTC provides opportunities, training and promotes with in for dedicated and hardworking individuals.  High turn around is a problem due to believed workloads/resources.  Employees are great and friendly providing a family-like work environment.  SMTC will support their employees when dealing with personal hardships outside of work with understanding and a helping hand. 

Management is horrible, no common sense! You will have to beg them for anything to grow with in the company. Not a real transparency. You will get the sense that you can get let go or fired at any time. Senior employees will not get a raised as good as a new hires. It will take forever to become permanent if you get in by a temp agency. Try to do things the right way and you will have lots of enemies, you will be reprimanded by management as well in a very nasty way in front of other co-workers.

GIT in Melbourne, FL has no priority for Billerica.  Management is not IT savvy and makes things up as they go.  Doesn't understand basic troubleshooting and has 0 accountability.  Billerica is a wonderful site, however, misinformation and misconfiguration is the name of the game. 
Colleagues at other sites are VERY helpful, however, micromanagement and attention to all the minute details will slow progress.  

Overworked, Underpaid at 62.5/yr.

attend daily CAC meeting to review all build schedule, potential shortage and issue production had from the previous build.
create a pick list for stockroom to pull for productions build and kanban replenishment. backflush all sub assy and finish good so its visible in the system for planners. analyse root cost of cycle count variances and implement a new process to minimize missing inventories. 

Not a welcoming environment. Highly shady and unethical management practices. Non existent training. Very deflating place to work unless you are part of the inner circle of employees the manager selects. Any motivation or morale you once had is quickly lowered from day one. Overall I would not recommend this location to anyone and very surprised SMTC has not investigated this issue. 

Review the production for the day with the assemblers.
Learned about contract manufacturing.
Hardest part of the job was letting people go when the job was finished.
Even though the company moved my assigned products to Toronto I was able to travel to Toronto to train them on the proper assembly of  the products.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Select few coworkers that genuinely want to do quality work and treat others with respect 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Underperforming without any substantial changes happening 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The bottom line is the only thing that matters

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Solve 3 problems and learn of 10 new ones

If you need training in electronics manufacturing this is where you go. The current state of the company is cut hours and no raises. Dishonest managers but hourly people ok like a big dysfunctional family.  Company policy is no more the 3% raise in last 7 years unless you are salaried. 

A typical day at work includes interacting heavily with customers, suppliers, staff. Helping wherever there is a need and learning a lot! I am growing here and really feel like I am making a difference. Where there is reverence for upper and executive management, there is still so much humility working alongside them and also all other employees.
