Pros

-you can learn a lot about all kinds of manufacturing technologies -sometimes they send you to trainings to learn about industrial robots, PLCs and more -good place to learn about people and how to interact with them -colleagues are helpful most of the time

Cons

-even a wrong decision is a good decision when it's fast kind of point of view -due to the lack of qualified staff everybody's overwhelmed -most of the managers are pushing without thinking about the consequences beforehand. -it's a multinational company, they could let you go without warning in the first place. -salary could be low if you stay for long, new hires will get higher pase pay. Best to stay for a couple of years, find something better paying job, then wait until they call for you again and ask for a much higher base salary, then repeat this after a couple of years.

Pros

Very friendly, as close to family as a company can get. Extremely large, so support exists for any task, even if not on site.

Cons

Long over burdened processes for capital to produce quality goods, on time. Pay for talent is lower than industry average

Pros

Health, dental, vision, and 401(k) were quite good.

Cons

Flex tolerates a toxic work culture from their most senior leaders. My director, literally, yelled at me daily, usually throughout the day. He physically grabbed me and forced me in the direction he wanted me to move. He threatened to fire me or replace me at least once a week. I went to the then director of HR who did absolutely nothing. After she was let go I went to her successor who told me there was no record of me speaking with HR before. And she did nothing. Unable to tolerate the work environment, I left. The company doesn't take safety seriously. We had shelving collapse resulting in an employee needing medical attention. The person tasked with designing and building storage has no training, no mechanical background, and no analysis is being performed to validate if the storage can hold 1,000+ pounds. There's no budget for professionally designed storage and, again, I was threatened for raising this as a concern. I learned today this same director is continuing to use me as a scapegoat despite me no longer working there.
