Swagelok Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Great company with good people, but poor management styles and micromanaging often interfere with being able to enjoy work. The positives far outweigh the negatives, and ownership has put together an incredibly strong team to carry out everyday processes and projects. Gossip and mistrust are the biggest issues, but it can be avoided if one is mindful of taking care of their own business."

"I've worked at Swagelok for 2 years. This location is very small, but the company culture is excellent."

"I've worked for Swagelok for almost 3 years. This has been one of the best jobs I've had. The pay and benefits are a great plus. Swagelok was in Forbes magazine as one of the top 50 places to be employed. Sometimes the amount of work and mandatory overtime could be a little much but overall a great company to work for."

"I enjoyed the culture the most"

"Not a bad place to work, high expectations with low pay. Coworkers are awesome but there are a lot of functioning retards. If you come on to the shop floor it is hard to move up, even with a degree. Best is to come to Swagelok in the office if possible. They will hire someone into the supervisor position from outside rather then promote within."

"Good co-workers, but very cult like atmosphere. The higher ups try to brainwash associates that Swagelok is the best place to work and what-not, when in reality it is the same as every other corporation. Co-workers keep the job from totally sucking day to day. Not a terrible place to work but by no means a good one."

"Swagelok is a solid and strong company with six core values. Considered as a leader in the industry with a very conservative approach to delegating leadership and decision-making. As one of Northeast Ohio's top places to work, the culture may be a challenge for anyone with a great deal of experience looking to move into greater positions of accountability."
