Pros

Good people that want to learn and move up

Cons

Where do I begin ive been working here for over 10years Let me start with this there is a review here stating they  do "full" 401k match , first off they don't is 25% and that isn't guaranteed if we don't meet our goals. Insurance is the worst, it goes up every year Employees don't get treated equally,  for years people would want to move to another position to better themselves and make more money  and their own supervisor would keep them for no reason or say they need them without even paying them more to stay, it changed not too long ago that employees who get hire for another position  within the company can move without supervisor interfering but from what we are seeing is that they r still keeping them in another way by not even giving them a interview or supervisor talking to the other supervisor and changing their mind , most of the production employees don't trust their superiors and management  because they give them false hope Review times are the worst , through the year , every meeting we have ...they say " we are doing great , we are surpassing our goals, we are doing record numbers " we all assume like this year we would get a good raise with the great work we all did and trust us it was the total opposite,  just because your review was great and see that " you performance was great and outpaced your last one " you assume your raise would be better than the last one combining how the company is doing and your own performance guess what ...WRONG!!! ...WRONG!!!.. their reason is like the rest of the reviews "is not in the budget"  but give other  employees with a decent year more money because they are friends and get along with their superiors  but not the best overall employees. The employees are doing the job of 3 positions and they can't even changed their titles..but management can to raise their salaries trust me we know.. that is why  employees are leaving left and right for better pay and half the workload and they don't even see that as a red flag and quite frankly they don't care because they will just throw the workload to other employees Recently they try to do this volunteering  employees to park on another property because they don't have enough space for everyone , even tho they say it's voluntary but they way supervisors tell employees they pretty much force you , they don't even tell you if they will cover your car incase of a accident or if it's gets damage because they are pretty much forcing you and they will say it was voluntary There is like maybe 1/3 of the supervisor who are nice and the rest are the worst , they don't know how to communicate with their employees at all , they talk down to them , they don't respect them at all , they don't even help out in the department when the workload is too much , they don't listen to the employees with suggestions on how to improve the workplace and work flow be a useful they have to be right and it's their way only so if they don't say it then it won't work .. Also they make these teams which sounds good but it really isn't,  they try to help out and make some improvements but when they come down to the real problems in the workplace, management  don't speak a word of it because it cost money, yes they talk about it in meetings but it doesn't go from there So pretty much as they keep making more money they r not sharing it with employees Good to get some experience and learn something but this is not a place for the long run at all .

Pros

Great culture. Excellent benefits. Very interesting products, customers and technology. Communicative and supportive management. Profitable and growing. We exceeded our pay-for-performance goal every year that I was there and we also received our full 401k match too.

Cons

Growth involves change. And change is difficult. Growth is demanding also.

Pros

Fralock has come a long way from where it was 13 years ago. I can see the executive management team working hard to make Fralock a welcoming place to work. They recently started a mentoring program, which is great. Hopefully, they will open this program up to everyone that is actually interested and not just the employees they chose. I think this is a good place to work but they need to make it a great place to work.

Cons

I would like for Fralock to invest and develop their current employees so they can be prompted within the company. Come review time they tell you what a great job you have done for the year but when you see your raise it makes you wonder how much they really value the "great job" you did.
