Pros
The size of TE brings some stability and additional financial resources. There are lots of job openings at the Deutsch Oceanside plant due to high number of resignations. Great place for recent college grads to earn a paycheck while they look for a real job. Slowly but finally, TE management is starting to recognize the organizational issues at Deutsch.
Cons
There has and will be a large turnover at the Oceanside plant because TE has failed to fix many of the chronic issues. Beyond fixing the obvious product defect issues, they still seem to not understand the poor leadership, corporate culture, and compensation problems passed on by the previous owner of the company. With a BU in such bad shape, there should have been no troubles showing some visible improvement but yet it is more of the same as the old Deutsch. People who quit aren't leaving because they are worried about losing their jobs to some low cost center like all the other TE business units. It is a vote of no confidence in TE's ability to turn things around at Deutsch. Might as well move the whole business unit somewhere else and start over.
