EControls

Assembler (Manufacturing)

July 2021 - February 2022 • San Antonio, TX

What I liked

Proximity to campus

What I wish was different

Do not offer part-time schedules, they only want full timers, but they called me from December through June asking me over and over again to work for them Every time I told them my student status and they insisted they work with students, until they laid me off along with hundreds of other students, temps and others The San Antonio management is embarrassingly unprofessional, I wish they took more after FW Murphy, but they also take advantage of them as well I don't appreciate getting lied to and how they tried to convince me that this was a good job for students and then got laid off because I was a student This company is really sleezy and act like they don't rotate out their employees knowingly especially considering they have been around since 1994 With 28 years of experience, you are not going to trick me into thinking that this was an experimental process, they know exactly what they are doing and take advantage of students

Advice

Companies are money hungry, but at least some offer some type of benefits and EControls doesn't I would rather take a pay cut from $16 to $12 than have no PTO, no insurance, and no retirement benefits I am glad I got laid off, I would hate to waste my 20's getting jack diddly from this factory
