Pros

- diverse, kind-hearted, seasoned professionals work here; the majority are supportive and strive for a flat hierarchy; culture is 10/10 - amazing work life balance, the majority of employees can finish workloads under 40 hrs/ week - Flex manufactures products for industry leading companies, so the projects are always interesting because the products or capex to mfg. them are always evolving

Cons

- 1/2 of the mid-managers were promoted because of how many years they've been with the company, meaning their comments are vague/ useless, tend to be emotionally fragile and have no guidance, strategy or knowledge in how to do their work. before you agree with a position, really ask yourself if this manager is right for you - you have a 50% chance of success! The senior managers are excellent so work for them if you can - dont expect meaningful annual pay raises, manufacturing has very slim profit margins

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.
