What don't you like about working at Telesis Technologies?

What suggestions do you have for management?
"Look at changing the limited 401K and paid leave policies."

"Solid company with a finger in too many pies"
What do you like about working at Cardio Theater?
"The technical challenges were a huge benefit. Seeing that the challenges were never the same gave me impetus to improve my skills in order to better support our customers"
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"It's a 'listen and do' not a 'suggest and improve' environment. Unless you're management, your input isn't given the weight it deserves."
What don't you like about working at Cardio Theater?
"Heavy weighting on the input of managers that have never performed the tasks they're charged with managing. Until you've done the job, confidence in your input should be lower than it was with Precor. Input from technicians was given far less value than that of the managers"
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Listen to your staff, Find out what it is they're saying, and don't automatically assume it's just a complaint. Often times even if it's a complaint, the cause is a justified one and something that can be learned from."

"The people are good, the boss trust that we can do the work, and we do."
What do you like about working at Delta Design?

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"I don't really. My boss is a good judge of character, and I am sure the others are as well. If you have a clear desire to work there, and are a fit for what they are looking for; you just have to be honest about it. I highly recommend HONESTY."
What don't you like about working at Delta Design?
"My manner of Hire (through Peak Tech) means I will continue to be with out holiday or benifits indifatly. I know of people who stay in this position for over 6 years. There is not really an opportunity for growth or advancement (or even cost of living pay increases) in this situation. This is a downer, but the job is wonderful, and the pay is enough for me to support and pay for the benefits I do not receive."

What do you like about working at Cassidian Communications?

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"Many employees are long timers, lifers, who are creative, talented, and would give you the shirt off their backs. I need to move for my health and will miss many good things about this company. Anyone looking for a stepping-stone should skip over this company because good work is only appreciated by the worker bees and promotions from within are rare."
What don't you like about working at Cassidian Communications?
"Financial gain should not be the primary factor for EVERY decision in business. As employees we haven't gotten raises in several years now, but we stay, or at least when we leave it isn't to get more money."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"They stopped listening to us years ago. We're left to encourage each other to do our best work despite management's financial tunnel vision. When we were family owned, we invested in employees, now we only invest in projects."

What suggestions do you have for management?
"Do not create a department if you are not going to back it fully to get it on its feet. (Federal Group was created a year ago. Its survival depended on the Manager Eddy Medina to devote time to it. Eddy was never released from the Private side and the whole Federal Group suffered until they disbanded it)."

"The unfortunate politics within the upper level management is quite sad."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"When HR is part of the unsavory politics, it makes it hard for employees to have any say, within the company. The house needs cleaning."
What do you like about working at TRW Automotive?
"The pay, while it lasted. Other factors were extremely difficult to quantify."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"Excuse yourself and get out of there before you are also black-balled. Should have hired a lawyer who could get some restitution. TRW Management neglected to establish the structure which was needed to encompass a state-wide project, which lacked the necessary structure and proper uniformity to cover the wide expanse of a statewide communications system which we were attempting to configure."
What don't you like about working at TRW Automotive?
"I was terminated after only 5 months by a visiting executive who did not even know my name or what I did! Being a contractor consultant, I packed up my old motorhome and headed 1,000 miles back to my shack in southwest Nebraska, and I have not been able to find employment in approximately ten years, perhaps because I may have been black-balled, coupled with the Obama recession looming over the entire country."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Quantify the capabilities of the working class, and implement a much-needed structure, which was missing."
