Belden is full of Back-Stabbing Morons

Network administrator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you are young and stupid, you may have a future there.

Cons

All Belden managers are monsters and should be fired. If you work for a company that Belden buys, they eventually will get rid of you if you complain about the inept management and projects. Lean Management is also a joke. I don't know why Belden is so successful. The customers hate them and also current and former employee hate them. They are the worst company on earth to work for. Only the back-stabbers get rewarded.

When Belden comes in and speaks to you about being part of their "family", I say, RUN LIKE EVERYTHING!!

Pros

Get a check while you look for another job that will be there when Belden doesn't want you anymore and closes down your plant.

Cons

after giving us all a big speech about what a "family" company they were and how long people had worked at their company, they emptied our plant within 2 years; sending the equipment out and everyone who had worked at that plant for years onto the streets. We were a competent and competitive plant; they only bought us as an acquisition. They immediately sold off our corporate plant in Illinois, then our plant in Ohio within 2 years. We had to go to Mexico and train the people who were taking our jobs!! because WE were the qualified personnel. How does that stack up to "family"???

Business Outlook

Pros

Admin staff is the best I have worked with

Cons

Too many egos to feed. Cant get out of the way of the Narcissist CEO and CFO. HR can not make change happen and does not have an independent thought to save itself, and so the circle of life continues. Unless you enjoy working 16 hour days and getting pounded on a monthly basis, this may not be the place for you.
