Completely Unacceptable Environment

Pros

simplistic job, passive aggressive environment

Cons

Everything you are told when recruited is untrue. The culture lacks professionalism and is run by incompetent management. The politics are atrocious and are based around a near unbreakable "in crowd". The culture of the company is primarily conservative insomuch as there is no actual standardization, no hardline policies, and no desire for change. There is no actual training, no desire to implement training, and a lack of interest in improving employee satisfaction or retention. This company is run in a similar manner to a cult-headquarters in a remote location controlled by the company-and as such they are having tremendous issues with expansion as they are unaccustomed with treating their employees as people with specific needs. Instead, Lutron feels it is acceptable to continue forth as a cult placing primacy in its dysfunctional culture. They reward incompetence through promotion and transfer. Mentorship, training, and coaching are near meaningless words to Lutron Electronics. The most important thing to HR is their personality testing.

Great products, toxic culture

Pros

Hiring process often finds the best of the best to bring into the Lutron "family" however, most high potential employees realize over the course of 5-8 years that there is no chance of real advancement. The engineering team despite sweat shop like conditions at times- produces very high quality products for the lighting control industry.

Cons

Toxic culture, very limited employee benefits- no part-time, flex-time, work from home, limited vacation, horrible work/life balance - all very hypocritical for an organization that touts "family" and "Take Care of the People" as one of its core values. There is also a very pronounced brain drain at 5-8 years- engineers realize the abuse isn't worth the salary and move on and sales people realize that no bonus and no profit sharing are not worth their efforts in the field.
