Servotronics

Before Servotronics, I worked at a hundred different places, mostly as a temp. I started here as a temp 10 years ago and it was rough at first, but I worked my way up and now I'm supervisor of my department. You get what you put in. We make aerospace parts, not widgets, a plane can't pull over for engine troubles. If you come to work knowing what you do is important and do your job well, you will get rewarded. If you just punch in and be mediocre, you will get mediocre. Have the mindset that people depend on you to do a good job, because they do. If you do well, the pay and titles will come. Taking pride in what you do, no matter what it is; that's on you, not the company. 

There are many changes and improvements happening all over recently, some of which I have made. Upper management comes onto the floor, not to reprimand, but to get to know you and ask what can be better... including the new CEO. The HR department actually knows you by name and works with you on your work or personal problems. Yes there are things that could be improved, as with any place, and there is an ACTUAL effort to do so, not just empty promises. Yes the pay isn't at the very top for the field, but... the flexibility of hours, being able to listen to your music, working on different things from day to day (because you're not a robot), no one pulling rank on you, not worrying about if a contract is up and not having a bunch of bosses hovering over you while you work makes it worth it. Also, there is internal upward mobility, as well as internal career change if so desired through internal job postings. The 4 day work week (if you want it) is pretty nice too.

I didn't write this on behalf of the company, I stumbled across this and was curious what was said. Seems like a lot crybabies, glad they're gone.

I worked at Servotronics for 7 years and it was place I used to tell people that I loved my job and I worked with some really great people. Unfortunately, that place I talked about is just a place of the past. It used to be a place where people felt valued and empowered. Over the past 2-3 years Servotronics has built up this leadership team that no longer makes people feel valued and empowered but rather I started to see and hear people who were fearful of making mistakes, being mistreated, not feeling good enough, unheard and unfortunately I watched people leave, including myself because we felt that no one could help us or care to listen or make a difference. The company is not doing well overall from finances to customer satisfaction and while they are trying to turn the business around, there a lot of new people, (because it has a high turnover due to frequent  firing or people keep quitting) and leaders who aren’t on the same page, little to no clear plan or direction, and a big disconnect between the senior leadership team and rest of the organization. I heard time and time again and experienced it myself that people are just left in the dark on what is going on, their input is not valued, and the senior leaders just make all the decisions and don’t listen to the people with the knowledge and experience doing the work. They are trying to push out the old culture which means they are losing organizational knowledge. For anyone looking to work here, do your research on the company and you will find several articles that may influence your decision. 

The work is easy, generally not stressful. But if you work at the Franklinville office be forewarned you will not get the same treatment as the whole company. We don’t get the same pay, the same information (so we miss bonus opportunities) or even the same free coffee (Elma has a star bucks, we have a dirty keurig with Tim hortons k cups and no fixins).  When it’s pointed out to Human Resources we don’t get the opportunity to earn the bonuses because of their guidelines and lack of information we are told “that’s standard practice” .
It’s not a bad place to work, but keep in mind the pay sucks, there’s like no advancement, if you can be cheated out of having any bonuses you will be. The immediate supervisors are very nice and fair but servotronics as a whole does not treat servo south with the same energy the rest of the company gets. ( I get to hear how nice Elma is from friends there too)  

● Work-life balance
As long as there's overtime you can work it

● Pay & benefits
The benefits are pretty good cover quite a few things, pto is given right away and you earn hours (based on how long you've been there) ten months a year but the pay is just awful

● Job security and advancement
There is plenty of job security here because there is always work to be done and they claim that the promote internally a lot but I've rarely seen it.

● Management
They've been there a long time and sadly most of them are huge jerks and like to gossip more then work.

● Culture
Most days its good but like any job there is always gonna be drama

● Overall
Management is mostly talk they say they'll help you out and work with you, but most often your left out in the dark and nothing changes 
Pay is low but made up by the basically unlimited overtime
Benefits are better then most
Only two sick days a year

I worked for Servotronics for just under 90 days, I would've stayed on longer had I not been "let go" before my 90 days was even up. I recieved my termination via phone call while off for a death in the family which my supervisor was aware of the previous day.
The pay is just the standard minimum which should be more considering the work that is being performed. There is no advancement within this company at all. Supervisors look out for themselves as well as HR. Trying to get anywhere with issues doesn't happen, they get swept under the rug and ignored.
I wouldn't suggest working here unless you have thick skin and can deal with drama coming from your peers as well as management and don't plan on trying to move up the ladder because it won't happen.

Worked for this company for 3+ years. Location in Elma is all high and mighty while servo south is the black sheep of the family. So many people want to try “ new techniques” to help the work flow and is actually destroying the company. HR is probably the most pointless in the company. Servo south has been through so many supervisors and management within the years. Place also has more drama than a teenager in high school. Grown adults acting like children. Too many “ideas” trying to change the way we work without knowing or understanding the actual job process. Higher ups want more and more and more but the pay is not up to the standard they hold their employees to. Definitely not worth the stress to work at this company. The list of cons could go on and on… but the pros…. Well atleast it’s a 4 day work week.

You get to work in a controlled air conditioned environment, which is great in summer months. Prior to covid - the 4 day / 10 hour schedule provided for a 3 day weekend - every weekend which greatly benefits home / life balance. Now the 3 day 8 hour schedule (which is temporary) still allows for a lot of time off for family. The work is entry level and not overly difficult to master. It's tedious, but low stress. Starting pay is fair. Supervisors are fair and consistent enforcing standards and policies. The employees that show up on time and put in a fair day's work never seem to have any issues.  

They under pay over work and ignore your transfer requests. I spent a year trying to get into the machine shop and off of 2nd shift. I spoke with all the right people and told them I wanted back on first. then learned later after returning to first that the job I was transferred into was a second shift job and they refused to correct it. Now I am actively searching for a new job outside the company as I will no longer work for these greedy people. My suggestion do not work for them unless it is a last resort they have a high turn over rate and constantly promote the wrong people in the work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
You can work 4 10 hr day or 5  8 hr days

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It’s like working with kindergarteners. No one knows anything and everything is a joke

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Culture is garbage the environment just like school 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I spend 80% of my day in meeting discussing the same topic in each one with no results. 15% updating spreadsheets and 5% able to do my job. Meaning I’m always behind

This is a company on its last legs, desparately attempting to regain its lost reputation as a reliable source of aircraft parts. This is an impossible goal, given their situation. Feel free to look into it on your own time. They cling to the old ways of employment - consistent negative reinforcement, no priorities given to training staff, and laughably low pay compared to other companies in the industry. In my experience, I was looking for another job by the end of my first week. It's good as a temporary way to make ends meet, but you don't want to stay here.
