Automation Engineer

"I've worked at Sparton as the main integrator of complex industrial automates systems. I did love my job and the relationship with my collogues. However, Sparton had been acquired by an investing company and it's now in the process of being sold. I got laid off simply to show higher profits."

Sparton Employee

"I worked for Sparton for 33 years. Unfortunately I was sidelined due to a severe car accident. I was unable to return in a timely fashion so the only option was to terminate employment. I spent my entire professional career here and just loved the work that I did. I excelled at every position over the years."
