Pros

Very few, if any. Sometimes “allowed” to work from home when needed.

Cons

• Expected to work 10-12 hour days and be available on weekends, basically On-Call (with no overtime pay if position is salary.) • No bonuses given, even though was told position warranted bonus incentive plan. Make sure you get everything in writing. • Procedures, processes and training do not exist, so you are expected to "self train", while still performing your day to day duties & responsibilities efficiently. • Women are treated as 2nd class citizens and given no respect. There are only a handful of women in management or upper level positions. However, they are never recognized or acknowledged. • Communication (or lack of) is the absolute worst, so your job is made even more difficult. Time and productivity is wasted because you must locate & search for information you were supposed to be given. Upper management has habit of keeping secrets or providing pertinent information. No “Team Work” . • There is no Accountability for many of the seasoned employees working in the manufacturing plants that have been with the company since before KeyTronicEMS. All processes are different in each plant and all are outdated. When costly errors or missed deadlines occur, blame is placed on anyone other than the manufacturing plant. • Everything at this company is reactive, not proactive, which is due to all the items listed - poor communication, lack of training, not being informed, no instructions given. • Comradery does not exist at this company. Lots of judgmental, sneaky people who think they are superior. Even upper management gossip about each other. Employee favoritism is very evident.

Pros

Keytronic has a solid manufacturing foundation with experienced operators, engineers, and technicians who genuinely care about product quality. Exposure to multiple customers, industries, and compliance requirements provides broad learning opportunities. The work itself can be technically engaging, especially for those who enjoy problem solving in a high-mix manufacturing environment. Many individual contributors are collaborative and knowledgeable, and there is pride in keeping customers satisfied.

Cons

Corporate Quality often lacks the authority and organizational support needed to drive real, lasting change across sites. Quality is frequently placed in a reactive role rather than being empowered as a proactive partner in decision-making. Communication and alignment between leadership and execution can be inconsistent, leading to frustration and inefficiency. Workload expectations can be high without corresponding clarity, resources, or long-term strategy.
