Started out as a great job and went downhill quick. If you like working 12 hour shifts for 8-9 days in a row with one day off and military management that treats you like a slave; this is the job for you. If you don't die from the chemical exposure/lack of safety you surely will from exhaustion (lots of constant heavy lifting). When I left there I was easily doing three peoples jobs, because they constantly cut workers in favor of overtime. In the busy season (spring/summer) you might as well bring a cot to work, because you will feel like you live there, and forget asking for vacations, sick days, or medical leave or they will discipline you later when it's legal to do so. Management cares nothing for any workers and seems to focus only on unrealistic goals to compete with Chinese labor. I worked there 7 years and felt I couldn't leave because of the economy when finally they closed Fab 1 and laid-off hundreds of people to send the work over-seas. Working there you will likely have your job threatened daily and accused of making mistakes in production that management has scapegoated onto you without your knowledge. Raises and promotions are few and will likely go to the undeserving from what I've seen. The plant is unsafe and in bad repair, in which you will spend most of your day holding machines together to meet your daily goals. Machine down-times or safety issues will be held against YOU during performance reviews as you fail to meet quotas. You will likely get hired here as a temp worker from an agency, but keep in mind that of the dozens that get temp positions only 1 or 2 ever get permanent positions that have meager benefits within 1 1/2 to 2 years of working.

Please, please avoid this place. It's at best a wafer sweatshop.

Opening fab 2 and invested 16 years of service were I learned and contributed a lot. 
- management rotate shift leaders that is beneficial to company culture, utilize human capital and productivity efficiency. 
- competitive industry wage and great profit sharing.
- affordable insurance and retirement benefits. 
- great collaboration between production and various departments for effective support. 
- Work and life balanced better with rotating days off in week days and weekends.

Now that I work for another competitor, I can admit the leadership in Siltronic are some of the best. They are well informed and adaptable to make better decisions to sustain the company.  That is the reason why many workers stay for 20+ years.

Employees needs to value things that matters the most. If the company is providing a livelihood for you learn to appreciate. Don’t pay attention to negativity because they don’t matter.

I have been working at Siltronic Corporation for 16 years of service. But when the company experiencing lack of work they laid off employees for cutting cost. I really enjoy my day of work everyday with a smile on my face due to the people I work with. I love working with the people I work with because they are like my family. 
Even upper management personnel they are very friendly personally but when it comes to business they go by the book.
The hardest part of the job when they let me bagged the material using plastic sealant machine, which is very difficult for me to reach and see the back to sealed.
The most enjoyable part of the job when we work together as a team and work in the same speed to push the material through the last process that makes everybody happy due to our output towards at the end of the shifts.

I know exactly what has to be done with the equipment or processes. That is, when quality or safety is compromised, I can make quality judgment when shutting down tools or processing products. In addition, my inspiration is always to communicate essential knowledge and information to all members because it is important that as a team we need to stick with the company’s procedures and to ease continuous improvement within the cell are. I can operate and monitor equipment effectively to maximize quality an production output, diagnose problems and effectively initiate appropriate
requests for repairs, and monitor equipment to proactively detect potential malfunctions. I can maintain and do owner operator tasks, as required. To follow all safety/environmental policies and procedures is my philosophy.

I worked for Siltronic since June 4 1984 to February 2 2018 when I turn 59 and a half and retired. It was a wonderful company to work for, I love my job, company benefit. My success is credited to the company. There is so many great memories, great people at Siltronic to list here. I credit 100 percent my early retirement ( 59 1/2) and financially successul to Siltronic. I started here very limited English, the company paid part of my school, gave promotion after I finshed school. It was here when I learn about 401K and investment since 1984 and looking back I was very Proud to say that I used to work for this Great Company. Thanks Siltronic !

Okay where to start, firstly in the interview I was told that overtime/extra shift was optional and I could choose to take them but after my training was complete I was told that overtime was mandatory and it's about 1 extra day a week so you get minimal time off. 

They expect you to move around and do the job of multiple people and still meet the daily goal.

The coworkers and people I work with are all super nice and welcoming and helpful as can be.

At the end of the day it's a rough 12hr job that constantly leaves you drained and honestly the starting pay and a quarterly bonus thats less than a paycheck is not worth it.

I didn't know what they made for the first 3 days I worked there. By the time left I could practically design a part for any of our customers. Like any large company you have good and bad experiences with all kinds of individuals. Tis place was my home and family for more than half of my life. It was sad having to leave because the closed the plant.

I really enjoy helping people, and had many opportunities to do this on a daily basis. The most difficult part of the job was the constant change, but it became the norm and was just like breathing after time.

Typical day at work is prioritizing jobs to process in order to meet our production and shipping goals.  Troubleshooting equipment failure and software malfunction as they happen.  Work is constant and demands multi tasking and accuracy in processing product.  Covering other operators for breaks while working the job I'm assigned to do.  Helping other operators trouble shoot equipment malfunction when possible to maintain production levels.  Best part of the job is the people I get to work with  and solving problems

I enjoyed my time with Siltronic Corp. My coworkers and management made it a joy to go to work every day and had they not Eliminated my position I would still be there. The hardest part of the job was collecting and retrieving all lost data but in the end very rewarding when all data was entered and shipments went out the door. management and coworkers were great and helpful. The best part of the job was the finished work and shipments being on time.
