Pros

The people I work with are great. I really enjoy working here. The work is ok too. I have worked in Manufacturing for a long time been in a lot of different plants in Lincoln Ne. I would say that this job was the easiest, cleanest position I've ever had. The company is very Strict on Quality, Being safe and providing customer service. Molex is a very profitable company. They do give bonus, 401k to part time and full time workers. I just work part time. Honestly I think part time wise you aren't going to find a better job in Lincoln. After 20 hours OT pay. I will say that for me anyways its a better part time job then it is full time. Every holiday off. They do give a few free dinners a year to employees. Free Gym and nice break rooms and lots of food options. The awesome thing I think is no uniforms.

Cons

The pay is too low to want to work here full time. Some jobs do pay pretty well. They don't let full time people work over a crtain amount of hours. So you cant get very much over time pay. Some of the people I work with are from different countries so very hard to understand. I think they should be more selective with who they hire personally in all aspects. BASICALLY only con is TOO LOW OF PAY!

Pros

Molex is a great community. There are a wide variety of professional employees to network with. It is a very large company, but a small community.

Cons

Decisions from upper management, do not always trickle down through the organization. Not all of the departments follow the same guidelines. Case in point is remote working. different groups have different allowances. It is a small thing, but an area that could improve.

Pros

Benefits are very good for a company this size

Cons

Team is run based on last minute requests and on a lot of meetings to join leaving little time for your usual work. Director likes to devise “innovative” ways to get sales to give more information but instead it translates to chaotic management and more stress for demand planners. There are a lot of stress placed on leads for not getting their teams to get to unrealistic goals with an unsupportive sales team. There are hardly any consistent reviews for employees but it’s not unusual for employees themselves in PIPs. Overall I would say it’s a chaotic management style in this team. Pay hits industry average but not much more. Additionally there is an overemphasis on being in the office in this company because they recently invested millions in renovations so they track your badge swipes. There are really no company wide events to get people more unified other than a quarterly CEO town hall that managers force everyone to attend.
