Dedication is a two-way street.

Compensation
Signicast employees start at a very competitive wage, with reviews at 60 and 120 days, then every eight months after that, with the opportunity for increases at each review. In other words, new employees have three opportunities for pay increases within their first year of employment! Employees are paid based on their knowledge and performance, and we encourage cross-training to help them advance through our strong promote-from-within policy.

Signicast works diligently to remain a world class, profitable organization proud to share profits with employees through a cash paid "Profit Sharing Plan".

Family Matters
Signicast's family-oriented approach supports the local communities by donating money and time to many Hartford causes such as: Signicast Family Aquatic Center, Chandelier Ballroom, Shauer Performing Arts Center, Relay for Life, local schools, and the Auto Museum.

Employees' "new arrivals" are welcomed with a beautiful baby blanket and a Signicast-logo outfit. Employees organize and participate in Signicast-sponsored themed holiday parties (for children of employees). Employees also plan and participate in an annual golf outing, and every year Signicast holds the Signicast Family Picnic and a Christmas Party, as well as catered Christmas lunches hosted by our three actively involved owners.

Our innovative shift schedules allow employees to work 78 fewer days per year, thus enabling them to spend more time with their families. The night before our 10 official holidays, we close the facility at midnight to allow our employees to be refreshed and enjoy the holiday. In addition, employees are free to switch workdays with another team member if they need to schedule a day off.

Extras
In an economic environment where many manufacturers are eliminating benefits, Signicast is adding them. For instance, we recently added a fully equipped exercise room, which is open for our employees and family members. And because we believe in continuing education, we also added the "University of Signicast," open to employees and their spouses. Two learning centers are staffed with part-time instructors that help develop and improve employee's knowledge in areas from computers and math to supervisory skills and communication.
