Pros

Good Engineering group, reasonable benefits, decent people. The Deleon Springs location is very rural with a sub tropical climate, typical of that part of Florida

Cons

The basic challenge to working at Sparton is the politics. Restructuring a division, that has been profitable for decades, makes no sense.

The right butt to kiss

Pros

Plant manager is wonderful and personable. Clean work environment.

Cons

Management and HR are terrible. HR has a nasty habit of lying and when you go to them with a complaint, instead of doing something about it they just gossip and make you out to be a trouble maker. With some of the managers, you won't get anywhere unless you are kissing then correct butt cheek. There is a lot of inflated egos. The breaks they offer are laughable at best. Whatever you do don't go to the bathroom or ever get sick. Sparton has no time for anykind of human condition. It's perfectly fine for managers and the select few of their subordinates (who they bake cookies with on the weekends even though that's against the employee handbook) to bully and harass other employees, especially new hires. Turn over rate is awful, no one wants to work there.
