Don't be fooled by the HR ladies when they tell you how great this place is, and how low the turnover rate happens to be. What they aren't telling you is that the turnover is extreme--probably 2 to 5 people per week. However, they use temp agencies to pad their personal statistics, because when they end an assignment they're not technically ending someone's employment, and thus their "turnover rate" stays artificially low.

When you first get here, the place seems fantastic--almost too good to be true. Once you've settled in, you'll see the truth. Everybody is miserable. All the management does is lie. There is zero transparency. Everything is the fault of production or warehouse labor, and there is no accountability with management in any department, on any level.

You get a twenty minute lunch, which is not enough time to do anything outside of the campus, so make sure you're prepared every day or you'll end up eating disgusting food from their vending machines. Of course HR will talk up how much they eat there, but it is selective as you see people slowly trickle out toward the break room, and if you're not with the "in" crowd, then you'll find yourself eating leftovers.

This place is overly dramatic. You are not allowed to address any issues with a fellow co-worker. Instead, you have to call for a meeting of your production line or warehouse shift, and then address everyone as if they're all the ones creating the problem. Any mention of a specific person and you're written up for "targeted harassment." This creates an extremely oppressive environment where you aren't allowed to express how you feel at any time.

To conclude, unless you are absolutely desperate (and even then...), avoid this place at ALL costs. There are VERY few places you can advance to from your starting position. It isn't big enough to hire multiple people from within throughout the year--or any year. The people in charge tend to stay in charge for a very long time, even through YEARS of incompetence. Don't let yourself be fooled into thinking this is a future for you. There is no career here. Only bottom end labor making people in the office big time dollars.

The company offers a good work-life balance, fair benefits, and reasonable compensation. However, opportunities for advancement are limited and often based more on favoritism than qualifications. Office politics and interdepartmental drama can also be discouraging.

Most positions are fairly easy and not physically demanding, but the culture of favoritism is draining. Certain “star” employees consistently received the best tasks and more flexibility, while hardworking team members went unrecognized. Even the employee of the month program sometimes felt misplaced, with awards going to leads rather than frontline employees who truly kept production running. In my view, recognition should highlight the effort of those on the floor first.

On the positive side, there are perks like free merchandise, food, and in some areas, seated work. However, the workplace culture can be inconsistent. There is a tendency to speak poorly about competitors’ products/ how they run their companies(from management to production employees),  but based on my own experience at other companies, I found their standards of quality and safety stronger than what I observed here.

Another ongoing issue is accountability across shifts. Some employees on later shifts appeared to do the bare minimum while benefiting from more pay, leaving first shift to carry more of the workload with less pay. Substance use on the job was also a concern that management attempted to address but didn’t fully resolve or  didn't care to. 

Soundoff is a great place to work for the most part. Certain departments have poor management while others have excellent management. There is always something to do, even if your department is short on work. The biggest complaint I have is that upper management/engineers don't seem to care about problems or inefficiencies with machines or equipment and it is the employee's responsibility to deal with it, even after notifying them about any issues. Some equipment is very outdated and inefficient. 
The company culture is great. Pay could be a little better but the benefits are excellent. I worked here for several years and have very few bad memories.

I worked as an intern in the engineering department.  I learned a lot and gained valuable experience that I will be able to apply in future work opportunities. Interns are treated pretty much like any other employee which is great and is a great experience. Unfortunately, that means you do get paid much less for the same amount of work once you get up to speed. This is fine for a short time frame like summer and is great for a resume, unfortunately for me, I continued as an intern for a whole year without a pay increase and there was not a position available after my time despite positive feedback from coworkers and higher-ups and talks of one being available during my time there. That being said, it is a great work environment with a ton of awesome people and the work was very solid and productive as well and I very much enjoyed my time at Soundoff. 

A common day working at SoundOff Signal's CVS branch starts with manufacturing products in teams.The starting time is somewhat negotiable with the supervisor, but hours are maintained, meaning that if you start late, you will end later. The manufacturing standards are high, each product must receive the correct assembly every time or it will fail. My favorite part about this job was how easy it was to focus on working and make it interesting for myself. The hardest part of this job was being attentive to when team members needed assistance, pacing the assembly process, and staying away from distractions to productivity by being too social. I appreciated the willingness of the management to let me try the newer processes for each line and even outside opportunities related to my major.

SoundOff treats their employees amazingly well, so people are happier when they work, and less prone to work-drama. Do your work with high quality and efficiently, and you will be noticed and thanked for your efforts. I have many coworker who are single mothers who are able to have flexible hours so that they can still bring their kids to school. My supervisor (and most other supervisors) encourages, thanks, and shows appreciation for her employees at least once a week. 

NOTE: If you need tension and work-drama to be successful - this job is NOT for you!

Best place of employment by far! It'll be 4yrs in April that I been with the company and already got promoted 3 times, next promotion above me is a line lead so if you put in the work there is room for promotions!!! Benefits are awesome Work is pretty laid back and easy to do even with no experience. It's not to fast paced so not for ppl who like that line of work. I love my second shift family not sure I would feel same way if I was on first shift tho. Current employee!!

Worked there alot if years.. put in alot of hrs… gave this company everything i had in me, only to have people hired off the street making more than me… i was looked over because of rumors spread by back stabbing employees and management…. That company is full of wolves in sheep clothing.. Smile in your face while they’re standing on your neck to management… unless u are retirement age and looking for something to keep busy, I recommend u find a place where your time and loyalty matter..where there is opportunity for growth, and your time and efforts are appreciated..

This place is one of the worst I’ve worked at. They don’t appreciate their employees, if you do even the slightest thing wrong or stick up for yourself after they wrong you they will say you aren’t showing core values when upper management is highly lacking in the core values especially trust. You will work every Saturday and the first time they don’t have enough people to work a Saturday they will mandate and if you don’t show up get a point and be written up for not showing core values

Don't waste your time here.4 day work week  they advertise is a lie. No bonuses in 2 years oh wait our year end bonus this year was just over $100.00. The quarterly bonus is non existent the amount they want is impossible to reach between part shortages and management snafus. DONT WAST YOUR TIME WITH THEM. I am feeling that I have wasted the last 3 years of my life there.
