The Lighting Quotient


I worked with the company starting July 1, 2024, and my experience was far from positive. The work environment quickly became uncomfortable, and I felt unsupported by leadership. There were instances of unprofessional behavior from the owner that contributed to a toxic atmosphere. Even when concerns were raised, they were often dismissed or ignored, leaving employees feeling unheard.

One of the major issues I witnessed was the lack of respect for employees' time and professional input. Meetings often dragged on, with the CEO dominating discussions, making it difficult to stay focused or productive. Creative work was often undervalued, and feedback was rarely taken into consideration, which left the team feeling unappreciated and creatively stifled.

In my opinion, there is room for improvement, particularly in creating a more respectful and supportive environment where employees' voices are heard and their contributions are valued. A healthier work culture and clearer communication would significantly improve the company.

I started at TLQ as a production Clerk and was promoted to a Production Planning position. There was some room for advancement. I was expected to do my daily work activities and also work on teams in 5S and lean improvements to the manufacturing environment. Worked on Solomon production planning software as well as microsoft office  as the planning position required. Also used outlook for all intercompany communication. I found working with the assemblers and all the other union electrical staff to be a positive and pleasant experience. Personally got along with all co workers in all related departments.

I was very happy working at The Lighting Quotient.  I worked there for over two years and gained a lot of experience.  However they had a very small I.T. department that consisted mainly of my Manager the Director of I.T. and myself.  So there was little to no advancement opportunities available.

Also the company was in a very Niche market and fell on hard times.  So the time came when they had mass layoffs (Around 20 people) and unfortunately I was one of the people that was let go.  Over all i have nothing but good to say about the company and the people that  I worked with.

Horribly obsolete machinery, engineering and awful drawings/prints. The company simply refuses to get with the times. Building lights are sometimes nearly impossible. There isn't even an inspector here anymore.

Employees are on edge due to the new president's arrival and increased pressure on management.. Extremely high turnover due to constant layoffs. Recently had voted for a furlough with the union to avoid layoffs only to have breached the agreement and got laid off. Office politics and racism are through the roof.

Severely outdated machinery/prints/engineering. They the don't fix it if it ain't broke issue here. Not a good place to work if you're a female, got harassed up until I was laid off. Lots of politics and backbiting. High turnover. Strict attendance policy as well. No vacation until you've been there a year. Didn't make it after the 3 months with the temps.

Active. Dynamic

A good and busy work day 
Testing, qualifying and assembling lamps
Diversity of character in management
Work place culture i would say was 95% well managed
Hardest part of the job was learning a new system for example when they switched to LED lighting 
Achieving the goal of correctly learning how to do my job when there were changes

Due to the unique set of skills required in the lighting industry, the majority of design personnel are from schools that are out of state which inspires friendships and comrodary between staff.

Owner treats everyone very poorly. I will be surprised if they are still in business also things are very disorganized and no one is running the show.  Jobs at this company always considered temporary
