PRIMUS is hard work and in the industries we serve that comes with the territory. Leadership is involved and accessible at all times for input, big and small, to succeed with customers, make jobs better, safer and more efficient. The company expects, requires actually, teamwork, integrity, consistent performance and in my opinion the pay and overall package is right on target. The investment, training, support and engagement is there. It's still the hardest work, even in 40 hours a week, of any company I have worked for, much more challenging and fulfilling than I expected before I joined. Not for anyone used to mediocre goals, half-hearted commitments, contentment with status quo or anything less than doing stellar work everyday for customers.The most ethical place I have worked at or even heard about, and that is saying a lot. It is refreshing, growing, challenging, a blistering pace at times and exhilirating being part of something so truly great and satisfying on all levels. PRIMUS is changing the face of our industry with quality, and I know that from prior experience in the market place and customer input. For the elite in the workforce and looking to change the world with the most challenging and important manufacturing that exists, this is the best I know of. 40 hours a week if you work efficiently, sometimes more, and sometimes a lot more. Personal performance and efficiency determines that. The company says dont work more than 40 hours, let's reengineer to get it done in 40 or less, but many of us do. We do what it takes take care of our customers. this is the first place I have worked for where the foundation of that customer commitment runs so deep, to the core of the company and it's long history. The team could not be better and the organization is consistent and fair with necessary expectations that everyones knows before joining. Some would say the bar is impossibly high, but we hold ourselves accountable and hit it. That's PRIMUS in a nutshell. For the best performers, it's irreplaceable.For anyone not at that level, the company's cultish focus on delivering for customers at the highest possible level will not be a fit for you. Best work environment for people who are wired to make a difference, stand apart from the rest and make history in this industry.

There is no room for advancement. All top positions are filled with their family and friends or the people who were there before the new managers took over. You will not be being paid as much as them. 10-50 cents for your 90 day and then 1.5 -3% yearly after that. No bonuses except for those in higher positions. Benefits have only gotten more expensive with worsening coverage over the 3 times I had to renew. Not even in network dental this last time. Forced to use PTO for any missed time. You are put on a point system, 1 point for each call in, and half a point for leaving early. You get 9 points for the year, unless you are part of the triple f's, (family,friends and favorites). If you need extended time off they will make you quit and then reapply. I've never seen anyone not part of the triple f's come back.  Breaks are 20 minutes for lunch and 2 - 10 minute breaks, also doesn't apply to triple f's. This place is a master of double standards. There is no accountability, especially involving leads and supervisors.  If you are good at your job expect to pick up the slack and fix lazy/underproductive coworkers products. Training is inconsistent and left to you or your coworkers instead of the leads. Often left to figure it out yourself. Your input is not welcome and most times you are ignored or talked down to because you dont have an engineering degree. The ventilation in the coating room is subpar and has been known to give employees nosebleeds, migraines, sinus infections and other breathing issues. The misters throughout the building will also at times smell of mold. Lots of cross contamination from the decontamination room. If you say or do something they don't like they will covertly bully, gaslight and punish you until you either quit or react to above mentioned harassment and then they use your reaction to their behavior as a means to get rid of you. 

The overtime is horrible, management picks favorites, people get walked out the door daily, and communication is awful. Pay is decent but not worth the stress of the job. I liked the field of work but the company needs a complete readjustment of their management. For being a family oriented company, they sure don't give anyone time to spend with family since they mandate so much overtime. There are good people here but the company is not run the way it should be. No one should walk into work everyday fearful of if they are going to get walked out or not.  This is a daily thing. We used to wonder if we were next. In 1 day, we watched 12 people lose their jobs. They tell you they are the best company to work for but none of their benefits can make up for the stress, fear, nerves, and anxiety you have to deal with daily. They rarely hire people on full time. They merely bring temps in, keep them for a short time, fire them, and bring in more. All anyone is to them are replacable numbers. And unless you are pushing all those numbers during production, you are not valued. There is no moving up, only moving to new departments or getting demoted. You will regret working here. And even after you leave, you're likely to be screwed out of money you were promised in email and voicemails. There is nothing good about working here except some of the people. But, you cant talk to them when you're working. Seriously ya'll, this place isn't worth your time. Oh and good luck getting vacation days approved. If someone else in your department has that day off, you will be denied. You're better off calling off. I advise everyone to think about just how desperate they are before working here!

The organization makes a positive first impression, and compensation and responsibilities may seem fair at the start. However, the long term experience can feel different, particularly for those seeking advancement or taking on additional responsibilities. There appear to be inconsistencies in leadership expectations, communication between shifts, and how performance and promotion decisions are evaluated. Feedback is not always clear, which can make it difficult to understand growth pathways within the facility. A stronger focus on coaching, transparency, and consistent standards would greatly improve morale and trust. At times, upper management may address concerns by implementing immediate disciplinary measures or applying significant pressure to certain departments without first engaging in thorough dialogue. Taking a more collaborative, inquiry based approach could help ensure issues are fully understood before corrective action or termination is taken. It may also be beneficial for corporate management to maintain closer oversight of upper management practices at this location to ensure alignment with company values, fairness, and accountability. On a positive note, the production floor employees are hardworking, supportive, and great to work alongside. The teamwork and willingness to help one another on the floor are definite strengths of the organization.



Just based from my observations. Management has no idea how to talk to people or even know what’s going on.  Turnover rate is extremely high.      It’s a do as I say not as I do work atmosphere.   I’ve seen people get screamed at like a preschoolers  just for talking about work related things. Lazy employees Trash talk and Employees slander decent peoples names. Management doesn’t do anything about it.     The favoritism is astounding.   People reading this review just know I had to run for the hills and onto greener pastors.  This was by far the worse place I’ve ever worked at.  They treat you like dogs. Not adults.    If your logical and sensible like my self stay away from this place.  If not. You’ll regret it.  

Synopsis:   Terrible communication from management, Favoritism, trash talk, completely unprofessional behavior.  Also they hire anyone. So that means your working with drug addicts, degenerates, lazzzy people and you are just a number to them.   They can and will replace if you at no moments notice.   The turnover rate is extremely high.  You can’t use your paid time off even if you have a Doctors note.  You’ll be pulled into the office and asked to sign a paid time off sick time abuse policy even if it’s one day missed.  Even with a dr note in your hand.

I really wanted to stay with this company. The pay/benefits are generous for the amount of physical labor that is required of most of the jobs. It is a clean, well lit, climate controlled environment. It would be a pleasant & comfortable place to work if not for the hostile culture here. New employees are definitely not welcome & I get the impression that minorities are less welcome. Most people regard new employees with silent hostility. You almost get the impression they're running bets on how fast they can push you to quit. That's easily ignored but what isn't is the out of control  behavior of those in management. Certain managers feel entitled to disparage, threaten & holler at employees constantly. They'll punish you & you don't even know why. Can't complain to HR, the worst of the worst is bf's with the GM. Its clear they've had management issues for a long time because they go through employees like crazy and it's actually a good job and could be a really great place to work. My advice to management: invest in some leadership courses/seminars for those in production management because there is no TEAM here. Demoralization is NOT a good motivator!  

I go to my assigned work station, review if enough work in my daily job, Maestro depanel, final mechanical assembler, hot melt glue station, RTV adhesive station. If not I then become a floater for various jobs in the company, I can be sent to Part Prep area where i use various cutoff machines, Or sent to a section for functional test operator on various test fixtures. Or sent to ICT to test on the Genrad test machines.

I have learned to be very attentive to detail with all we work on, quality is job 1.Do it right the first time, saves time and money.

Management needs to communicate better, not much verbal most all in e-mail.  People do not have time to read e-mails. disorganized needs improvement.

Co-workers are amazing, hourly floor workers work together to get the product out. Have met many great workers in my career.

Hardest part of the job keeping a good attitude when management fires a great worker.

Most enjoyable part of the job is seeing a finished product work correctly in the functional test area, and knowing your work is in that product.  I am very proud of my work.

I really enjoyed working at Primus Technologies for the first month I was there, the people who work on the shop floor are great, personable, and easy to work with.  The problem with Primus is the management.  At first they make you feel like the most important person, they promise the world, a blank check-book, whatever it takes to get you in the door. Once you're in, then you are subject to constant demeaning and overwhelming pressure to do impossible tasks.  Instead of trying to help someone, you are ridiculed and told you are not doing your job or under-performing. The environment pits employee versus employee, in an attempt to not get fired.  No one in lower management, or the one and a half people in HR (for nearly 500 employees), would ever stick up to those promoting this terrible, counter-productive culture, which starts at the top.  People come in from out of state, just to leave within a year.  I had three different engineering managers within one year.  It was not uncommon to see 10+ people fired in one day.  I wish I would have listened to those who said not to work there.  The only way to win is when you get a new job.

PRIMUS has it all. The work is fulflling and important to protecting lives in for medical electronics, aero-space, military and industries. Being on a team that is talented, and effective feels very satisfying. Customers visit often. hearing their thanks for the job we do is inspiring. Allot of my team has worked at PRIMUS for 20 years plus. Winning awards, new contracts and our profit sharing of as much $2,000 per person a quarter is special to me and helps my family. 

The company offers wellness programs and pays for health insurance, life insurance, dental, vision, home gym equipment, gym memberships ,college courses. Theres a training department with constant training at PRIMUS for skill development  development.

3 years ago paid time off increased to 28 days off for new employees and it increases with years service. they added a voluntary paid day of community service for everyone where we can volunteer and be paid for that time. Special company that treats me very well

My teammates are the best I've ever worked with and the company treats everyone like family. Best place to work by far, no place I know of even close.  We build circuitry for the military, defense, aerospace, healthcare industry and quality, customers are the focus - it's all about serving customers. Pay, profit sharing, and benefits are unheard of, so good. We are treated like customers which is why people stay once they get in the door.  Nobody leaves except cases where the skill set just wasn't there or someone has attendance issues.  Blaming the company for that on Indeed is pretty silly.  Since we build electronics that people's LIVES depend on, the company and leadership make sure everyone is trained, supported and following the process.  Simple, basic, required, as we all know.  Company is very selective on who gets hired and people are held acountable and coached for success.  But unprofessional behavior that would be tolerarted at some other companies isn't tolerated here, thank goodness!
