Good place to work if you are very detail oriented and motivated to learn something new frequently, and pay is not critical to you.
The workplace experience can vary depending on the people you work with, and the management you have. When I started, it was more of a negative experience due to workplace drama between coworkers and management. New management came through, and the problem people left. After that, the experience was mostly positive.
The pay was not competitive, and could very much have been much better compared to cost of living, and locations nearby. It was fine for my own living situation, but don't expect to make a living on this job alone.
Insurance benefits were absolutely fantastic during my employment, for an individual. Raises and bonuses started out good, yearly, but started to drop off the longer I stayed.

Pros:
- Good place to work if pay is not important to you.
- Depending on who is employed at the location, peer experience can be negative or positive. Make it what you want, really.
- You get what you put in, mostly.
- Good insurance with good company coverage.
- Fixed schedule, with some flexibility.

Cons:
- Don't expect good pay compared to other locations in a similar industry.
- Workplace environment can be hit or miss.
- High output demand, which can increase or decrease suddenly.
- Depending on customers and time of year, there can be a lot of downtime, with unpaid time off if you choose to leave for the day.

I worked here for 5 years, and despite the rough spots, I overall did not mind working here.

A typical day at work; i come in first thing in the morning and my work is waiting for me. Work needs to get done by a certain date and that is what the managers/supervisors care about. Management wants growth for the company and that is exactly what they strive for! There are all kinds of co-workers, some that do not take their job as seriously as it really is, some know it is serious and do their best for their best results. Some are leaders and some are not, either way we all try to come together as a company to support and help eachother succeed in our work and give the best results we can with the negative and positive situations that we face. The hardest part is more so the most frustrating part when you have co-workers that do not take the job as seriously as most because it can slow work process down which can interfer with work flow. Too many mistakes and you can lose product/customers which ends in losing money. The important thing is to take the correct steps to help the situation so everyone can be on the same page. The most enjoyable part is doing the work itself and knowing that your co-workers, including yourself are meeting your quota or going beyond standards.

SCS operates fully as "say what you mean, do what you say" type business.  They are compliant with all levels of security with their customers both internal and external.  They are have an impeccable training and ensure that all meets the requirements of the companies and its policies/procedures. The working environment was small and family oriented and rarely had any snags in its work day.  Management had an open door policy to anyone that needed assistance with personal, work or any other work related subject.  Management made it quite comfortable to address subjects that needed attention.  Everyone was cross-trained to do another job in the event of short staffed and to help assist with an individuals growth within the company.

Although there are a few perks of the job, such as yearly raises, the management here needs to learn to listen to the employees they hire. Since joining this company I have seen many people come and go - mainly to find better wages and solid management. Recently at SCS I have found out that upper management had insulted an entire group of people that work in a specific designation which also insults the customers we work with. This is not at all professional and will likely cause morale to drop. It is my hope most of the workers here will come together and say something but it is my fear they are afraid of management that is lead by fear and aggressive control. Please talk to those that have worked here prior to your potential interview. 

Corporate management is ridiculously inadequate almost to the point of absurdity. During my time at SCS, I went through THREE plant managers. That alone should tell you what you need to know. The first left on his own volition and the second and third left the position with the same complaint. Corporate support was non-existent.  The workplace culture is that of a High School at best. Rumors are treated as fact until otherwise proven incorrect.

 Busy from the start but very productive and troubleshooting projects,makes for a hardworking day

There are opportunities to grow. There is also the chance of a yearly bonus. It’s nice to work on products that affect people’s lives in a positive and/or impactful way. There is a bit of stress time to time with expectations, especially when it is the end of month. Also, similar to almost any other company, communication could always improve. Despite some of these challenges, I have enjoyed my time here and feel like I have a purpose. I have learned a lot with leadership and fine detail work while here. 

You're treated like a robot most of the time, management always wants to deliver products before their due date even when there's only a couple people working in the cell. Pay is terrible, there are opportunities to advance but you have to do tons of extra work that doesn't justify the pay. Benefits aren't great and there are definitely cliques in the workplace. Everyone loves talking trash about each other.

This place could be 5 stars if upper management would LISTEN TO THE WORKERS and try their best to accommodate them! The managers, and office personnel get lots of perks and bonuses while they occasionally throw a couple of dollars and unhealthy food to the hard working employees who make everything happen. The bonus are great at times. 

Few people are given the chance to rise through the ranks at this place and feel as if they're paid fairly. The company, both specific locations and as a whole, are continuing to make a large profit. I believe this is in due part of withholding salaries that could help their worker's cost of living and keep them happy and productive/caring for what they work with. Management needs to listen to employees more.
