If you are a professional and take pride in your skillset, I  would not recommend applying for any Leadership/Supervisory/Management role with this company's Mesa, AZ facility. They do not provide you the tools for success and seem to have adopted a " figure it out for yourself" culture that is frustrating. The front end of production is poorly planned and scheduled, resulting in all assembly techs working six days a week with the majority of monthly revenue going out the door the last 2 weeks of every month. Their shipping department is severely understaffed to achieve monthly revenue goals, creating a chaotic work environment. Which makes it difficult to keep teams motivated and positive.
This  branch has MANY systemic issues.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is no good part. Management is terrible. They treat their employees like garbage. Pay isn’t great and they expect you to work as if it was dependent on your life. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You wear many hats. If you do your job well you are expected to do more but never go after the people that don’t do enough. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Heavy. disrespectful. And much like high school when it comes to clicks in upper management. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Working from start to finish. Getting yelled at for something someone else was supposed to do that is now your fault.

This is a union shop and the parent company bought the company with the union.management is at odds with the union employees most of the time. The decisions the management make, when their plans fail it is never their fault it is the workers. Nothing ever changes there and there is a LOT of brown nosing going on. Most all of the experienced employees with 10+ years have left to work somewhere else, the current long term employee has about 5 years there.  

From the very first day there was a eerie feeling of unspoken rules. Many has been hired on based upon lies from management. Favoritism is blatant, and many many "personal conversations" is being had when people don't volunteer to come in on their personal time. 
There was not one person in the management that I could trust. Everyone is only looking out for themselves, and the factory manager is obsessed by breaking his own production record every month. Needless to say, many people leave.

great place to work for. as long as you do what to you are told to do. you will be alright. I guess it's everywhere like that.I can assure you that the people that work at that place is really friendly. you can really ask them anythings if you run into a problems. they are willing to listen and try to answers or find the answers for you to the best of their knowledge.
if I didn't really have to move.  I willing to work for times microwave systems until I retire.

I would not recommend working for this company due to an unmanageable workload, poor management, and a lack of career progression opportunities. The excessive workload led to constant stress and an imbalance in work-life balance, while poor management provided little guidance or support, causing frustration and uncertainty. Despite expressing interest in career growth, there were no opportunities available, leaving me feeling unfulfilled. I suggest exploring other options for a better work environment and career prospects.

Pay is decent, but other than that I wouldn't waste your time here. You will never get recognition for your hard work. In fact, the ones who actually work will constantly be under scrutiny while those who slack off will continue to get away with it without question. Managers have no sense of professionalism either. Most manufacturing/warehouse jobs are hiring for the same pay or more right now. Save yourself the headaches and go apply there! 

Times Microwave at one point was a great place to work. Now with the new changes and management work environment is bad!!! Management has no respect for employees at all. Opportunities are for favored employees only, not qualified or experienced employees.  Management shows favoritism big time. Everything is all about money and numbers not quality.
Quality of product should be priority!!!!!!

Very knowledgeable of their products, but the culture is poor due to a lack of communication between the senior staff and the younger staff, resulting in knowledge gaps and inefficiencies.
