They are in Flux right now but really like the people there.
|
|
Internal structure is fairly well organized and stable. They have a neck for hiring good people who know what they are doing. They are very considerate to their employees and contractors.
|
Upper level is in Flux and they run a very contractor heave work force.

Nice people NOT in the department where I worked. Good insurance.
|
Nasty people in engineering. Noisy work environment. Bossy co-workers. I hated this place as much or more than any place I've ever worked. The atmosphere was like a nasty, bullying high school and that was about the maturity level of co-workers!

Challenging, Mandatory Overtime, Good People, Willing to Make Tough Decisions
|
|
Company was proactive in addressing challenges in the market, modifying processes to improve function, and the people were great overall - honest, hardworking & ethical. Also, the company was willing to make tough decisions if it was for the betterment of the company - they did not keep people around because they had a long history with the company or because they were buddies with management - if you did not produce you were not kept. In one situation an honest hardworking person was moved to a less demanding position, rather than let go, when they did not perform satisfactorily in their role.
|
Mandatory overtime during high volume times - always in the summer. The overall effect of forcing engineering to work extreme hours is that people show up on time, put in their time, and do the usual amount of work. It is unrealistic to expect this approach to produce positive results. A 50% increase in working hours produces about 5% additional results. Also, lower pay than what you would expect in engineering hubs like Detroit. Sales is probably a department to avoid.

Knock of the crazy mandatory overtime. Find some other way of dealing with the natural, expected cyclical nature of incoming orders. You are paying overtime and not getting the results you may think while driving resentment in your employees.

Company with really cool product
|
|
At Spartan you make a difference everyday for the company. The changes that you create and put in place are seen easliy in the results
|
Since the company has gone public, expanded with the military contacts from the mid 2000's, and contacted again, it feels much like a shareholder based company instead of the family based company of the past.

Don't have so many tactical objective that you never show success. Choose the few specific ones and be really successful at those instead of mediocre at many.

Quick review
|
|
Great people & good products. Spartan designs, tests & builds quality heavy truck chassis for the motor home, speciality and fire truck markets.
|
They do expect you to put in alot of time for average wages. Some times the workload can start to pile up with no real solid plan to "get out of the hole".

Some times the culture that they preach isn't inline with the actions that are taken.
