Transcat reviews about "work life balance"

There were no cons to working here.

Communication with HR and upper management is on their convenience.

Mandatory overtime is constant which really effects your work life balance

no room for growth or career

Slow to improve employee salaries and benefits. Bad work life balance.

Training in some areas is in need of immediate attention. Some processes can be cleaned up here and there but overall nothing real bad.

Behind the scenes, it's a free-for-all among lab managers. Quality between labs is inconsistent. Production pushes left me with the feeling that Transcat aims for quantity over quality. Technicians were highly encouraged to do a better job for the customers that had better contracts. The manager of my lab took advantage of state COVID-19 research and development grants to buy RF calibration equipment instead if purchasing them on the company dime during the peak of the pandemic in 2020. My manager walked around bragging about it. The equipment wasn't even set up by the time I left mid 2021.
